  Thrid Person POV

  Essos, 296 AC.

  ---------------------------------------

  "It seems we are finally switg shifts. Let's head outside, it's getting te." One of the guards yawned as he prepared to patrol the courtyard.

  As soon as he took his first steps outside, something sliced through the air and hit his neck. A sed dart hit the uard right behind him, barely giving him time to react before both of their necks were struck, and they easily lost sciousness.

  "It seems there's nothing more at the entrance..." A royal guard said, looking at the two bodies as Jon approached. It was him and twuards, there to get Nyra.

  "Remove them from here, it's too much at the entrance," Jon ordered, as he'd doh the other fallen guards, hiding them so they wouldn't be easily seen.

  After his men had taken the bodies to a hidden pce, one of them brought an object.

  "Yht the box..." Jon murmured, looking at the medium-sized box one of the royal guards was carrying.

  "Yes, my king..." he replied, handing the box to Jon.

  Jon approached the box, hearing the agitated sounds of rats, as he closed his eyes. The rodents inside quickly began to calm down as he domiheir minds.

  In the moment, he opehe box. The rats scurried out and began to spread throughout the castle under Jon's and, as he wao have real-time surveilnce of the entire pce, searg every er.

  The creatures quickly began to move unnoticed, passing by iive guards, while Jon and his guards made their way toward where Nyra was, already knowing the path due to his snake.

  As they passed through the corridors, he raised his hand at one point, signaling with two fihe number of guards ahead of them. His two royal guards prepared themselves.

  As soon as two shadows emerged, the royal guards swiftly shot their darts, hitting the targets before they could even groan. Hiding the bodies, they moved on.

  They advahrough the corridors, taking down more and muards, leaving a trail of bodies behind. Jo his eye on the Martell family. Doran seemed to be with a prostitute in his room. Oberyn was with his lover, while most of the children were busy with their routines or asleep. Only Arianne seemed to be sharing her bed with her personal guard and lover.

  It was only then that Jon reached the room where Nyra was, where fuards were proteg the door, more heavily reinforced than the Martell family itself.

  "I'll make the first move, wait a moment before attag," Jon ordered as a snake appeared beside one of the guards' feet. The man noticed the small movement out of the er of his eye and looked to the side before the sruck his leg, causing him to scream. "Damn snake!"

  The uards quickly realized the situation but had barely any time to react. The two Arctic royal guards with Jon emerged from the corridor, spitting darts that struck the necks of three guards. The man still with the snake on his leg looked at his friends falling to the ground in surprise before turning to Jon, who spat another dart at him, making him colpse before he could do anything.

  "We're here, finally. That was easy," Jon murmured as he approached the door.

  "You two stay here and guard the area..." Jon instructed a over to the snake, pig it up to take it away, as it had done good work these past days.

  Nyra, who had been sleeping, woke up startled by the sound of the door opening. She grabbed a small bde she kept beside her and hid it under her pillow.

  Joered the room at that moment, still disguised, looking at Nyra with care and .

  "Who are you?" she asked cautiously, nnizing Jon, though he seemed familiar.

  "It's me, Nyra... Jon." Jon said, leaving Nyra stunned.

  "Is it really you?" she murmured, still holding onto some hope. His eyes were not like she remembered, but his voice was Jon's.

  "Yes, it's me. I'm just in disguise," he said, moving closer to her.

  She moved toward him, putting the dagger aside, and embraced him immediately. "Jon, I'm so happy to see you... you're real and you're really here, I'm not dreaming... am I?" she excimed in a joyful tone.

  "Yes, it's me... I'm here to take you out of this pce," Jon said, gng at her swollen belly.

  "We're both happy to see you..." Nyra responded, emphasizing their child.

  "He's a boy..." Jon noted before looking bato her purple eyes. He leaned in and kissed her forehead in a tender gesture. "It's all right now. I'm going to get you and our son out of here," he said.

  "Yes..." she replied, mesmerized, staring at him the whole time, uo believe that the man she had e to love was standing before her, resg her and the most precious thing to her, their unborn child.

  "We 't stay here. Grab your things, let's go," Jon said, notig that she remained frozen, unmoving.

  Nyra snapped out of her thoughts and began to get out of bed to gather a few items. Still in her nightgown, she quickly slipped into a dress a over to Jon.

  "Take my hand and don't let go under any circumstances, uand?" Jon said, and she nodded, allowing him to lead her outside.

  She nodded again, careful not to strain herself too much due to her pregnancy.

  Jon found his two guards keeping watch. "Let's go, we'll take this route," he said, pointing to a different corridor and knowing there was a group of guards approag. He wao take down most of the guards to prevent them from seeing their fallen rades scattered throughout the area.

  They moved forward, taking down anroup of guards and cheg the area before finally making their way out, with Nyra following Jon closely.

  As they reached the outside, Jon's fuards had already taken down a few more men who had been in the courtyard, waiting for their king. "We'll go down the same way we came in. There's a group of horses I mao trol; they're waiting for us," Jon said, and everyone nodded.

  He lifted Nyra into his arms like a princess and advanced with his guards to move more quickly. Carrying Nyra was no effort at all for Jon. When they arrived, they began to desd using ropes with hooks. Jon easily brought Nyra down, using just one hand to grip the rope while carefully holding her with the other.

  "You're my hero..." Nyra's ent made Jon feel slightly awkward.

  "Let's save that for ter, Nyra... first, we o get you and our son out of here," Jon said, and she nodded.

  "We o leave this city quickly. It won't take long for them to notice more than fifty guards lying on the ground throughout the castle and e looking for what we've done..." Jon said, and everyone nodded as they moved toward the horses, which Jon had easily trolled after taking them from a mert or noble iy.

  He led Nyra to one of the horses and pced her in front of him, beginning to gallop with his group out of the area. They made their way through the capital's streets with ease, as Jon skillfully evaded all the patrols. They were now in the northern region.

  "Stay alert for any enemy attacks!!" the royal guards ented as they headed toward the northern gate.1

  "Don't worry about the gate..." Jon said as they approached it, with no sign of anyone around, as if the pce were haunted. Nyra left the capital, surprised by how easy it had been for them. There were no guards to stop them, as all the soldiers on the wall and in the guardhouse had already fallen unscious, taken down by Jon before even arriving there.

  "I don't know what you did, my king. But it was certainly fantastic!" his men ented in awe.

  "It doesn't matter now... let's head north... we'll have some time before they realize we went in this dire. We o reach the meeting point before dawn; there's a ship waiting for us," Jon said, and everyone nodded, galloping in that dire through the desert.

  "I'm so happy to see you, I 't believe we're here... that I'm here with you," Nyra murmured, leaning against Jon as he touched her belly.

  Jon's tou her stomach began to glow, making her feel more rexed. He wao che the dition of the child inside her, including the gender and whether the baby was healthy.

  Jo a twinge of anger, as the stress she'd endured had harmed the baby a little and could even cause a miscarriage. But Jon wouldn't allow that to happen. He would take care of her and the child, ensuring that the boy, a male child, would be born without any plications.

  And so, they tinued. "You sleep; we'll be riding for a few hours," Jon said, and she nodded, uo see what Jon was doing as he made her so rexed that she began to drift off to sleep due to his healing.

  Nyra finally slept after all that had happened, and Jon remained silent as he and his guards rode through the desert. His rats inside Sunspear had picked up on all the movements in the castle. Doran, who had been enjoying his evening, was interrupted by guards rushing to his room.

  "What is this?" he murmured, displeased as he had to help himself up with the woman, walking over to open the door.

  "Prince Doran... we have a problem... a rge number of uards have fallen, and your bastard daughter has disappeared without anyone awake knowing. We 't wake up those who are asleep!" the guard expined.

  "Nyra?!" Doran, realizing the gravity of the situation, quickly began moving to find out what was happening. "Call Oberyn! I want to know where they went, and quickly!" he excimed, and thus a great otion began in Sunspear.

  The hours passed through the night as the horses were out of breath after Jon pushed them to maintain the pace. They finally reached their destination, spotting a ship he coast, with some boats waiting for them on the beach, manned by Arcti.

  "I told you they'd be here soon," said a dwarf in one of the boats, seeing the group approag.

  Jon made no ent as he arrived with his men, dismounting the horses and waking Nyra as she blinked before he helped her down from the horse.

  "Let's get to the boats," he guided her.

  "My uncle 't e after us, he?" she asked, a little worried.

  "He's definitely sending groups to follow our tracks right now, as we've left prints along the way. But I'll and the horses to tinue north. It'll create a distra, without them knowing we're already at sea," Jon replied.

  Nyra nodded, and they began to settle into the boats, with Jon keeping Nyra close the eime, still ed about the child.

  "Let's go, men! We have a king t to the fleet!" the dwarf tio joke.

  "..." Jon remained silent as they moved away from the beach, heading toward the ship.

  As soon as they boarded the carrack, Jon led Nyra inside while the men began preparing the ship to meet the fleet in the open sea.

  "You should rest a bit; I'll bring you something to drink a," Jon said, going to his men to ask for it, while Nyra went to the bed in the room prepared for them.

  She saw Jon approag a moment ter, as he grabbed some dots with letters that the ship had received directly for him. "What are you doing?" she asked, watg him read through many scrolls.

  "Just some reports from the fleet... they'll be here soon," Jon said before the door knocked, and he went to get the food, bringing it to the bed for Nyra to eat.

  "Now rex... I've made sure you won't have any more problems with the pregnancy during the trip," Jon said, and she nodded, starting to eat the fresh food.

  "You know, I still 't believe this is happening," she murmured, resting her head on his chest while eating grapes and sipping fresh fruit juice.

  "I didn't know... I really didn't know, Rhaenys... If I had known, I would have e to take you befoing to ártica st time..." Jon said, his eyes tired as she turned her fa.

  "It's all right. You're here now, that's what matters. This child won't be a political pawn for my uncle, and she will have her father..." she replied in a soft tone.

  "Yes, and our boy won't be a bastard either, because we will get married as soon as we reach the main ship," he said.

  "Are you serious? This is ued... Did your queens agree to this?" she asked, happiness evident in her voice.

  "It's all fine. I've always told them I would marry more wives, and they khat from the start, so everything is fiween them," Jon said before tinuing in a more serious tone. "And none of your uncle's pns will e to pass." Jon spoke with a certain fire of anger in his eyes.

  Rhaenys uood. "Yes, he wanted you to take the Iron Throne for us. He 't get in tact with Viserys and Daenerys anymore. My uncle believed you have enough power to quer the Iron Throne and wanted me to be your queen, and our children to be the rightful heirs, including this child," she said.

  "I have other wars to worry about than the Iron Throne and the Seven Kingdht now... I have no i in ruling the Seven Kingdoms at the moment..." Jon said, though internally he thought he had the right to it, but he still had a war in the north to focus on and shouldn't be ed with that now.

  "Speaking of which, your uncles were ios... I met them," Jon said, as Rhaenys looked at him in surprise.

  "Really? Are they well?" she murmured, unsure of what Viserys' personality would be like.

  "Viserys is mad, like his father," Jon said with a hint of anger, while Rhaenys looked stunned by this information.

  "What do you mean by that?" she asked.

  "I'm saying that Viserys Targaryen is the son of the Mad King, literally. We had a flict, and I punched his fauch that I felt satisfied with every blow," he said, leaving her a bit shocked.

  Jon tinued before she could make any ents. "But his sister is different. She's a sweet and i girl, who's suffered a lot at the hands of her brother..." he said.

  "And where is she?" Rhaenys asked, worried, as she wao see her aunt.

  "She's with me. I took her from Pentos, she's traveling with us," Jon replied.

  "Wait... Are you serious?" Rhaenys couldn't help but feel delighted at the idea, as she'd always wao meet other Targaryens.

  "Yes, you'll meet her as soon as we reach my ship. Only Ygritte is traveling with me this time, but she's doing a great job making Daenerys feel fortable and rexed," Jon smiled.

  After all, using his owers, he could see through Ghost and saw Ygritte, with rare patieeag Daenerys how to draw in her room. It was surprising, as Ygritte, unlike Seryna, who was calm and cheerful, had a much shorter temper.

  "I really want to see her," Rhaenys said. "Besides, how are we going to get married?" she asked. "I'm sure you won't want a Seven wedding, right?" Rhaenys asked, a bit excited, wanting to know what Jon had in mind, sihe Seven didn't align with their beliefs, especially after the chaos he caused in Oldtown.

  "No, definitely not. Speaking of that, how was the impay atta Oldtown for Westeros?" he asked.

  "Well... What do you think? It's having a massive impa all the houses. All the maesters of every noble family are ag depressed and lht now. And as you know... there are many problems with the schors. After all, aire geion of archmaesters was wiped out by you, and the remnants of the Citadel are struggling to teach the younger ones now. There's not as much material like books and other things left after what you did," she said with some .

  "They should have thought of that before even trying to threaten me," Jon spoke firmly, without a hint ret.

  "I always believed you had a very serious reason for doing what you did, so I trust you," she said, moving closer to him and kissing his lips. "I'm so happy we're going to be together," she repeated.

  "Yes, I pn to have a wedding iyle of the old gods. We don't have a Weirwood tree anymore to do that, but I have a Child of the Forest with us. They officiate the ceremony," Jon said.

  "A Child of the Forest?" she asked, suspicious, not fully uanding what he meant, but Jon's face became serious as he looked at her.

  "There's something you o know first, Rhaenys, before we proceed with this... But let's leave that for ter. I want you to reach the main ship first," he said.

  "What do you mean by that?" she asked, not liking his words.

  "Let's get to my ship first, and then we'll talk. I just ask for a little more patience," Jon said. After all, he didn't know how she would react to his words about his identity and their blood retion, but he remained resolute. She, realizing she couldn't say much more, rexed, though curiosity ed her.

  Their ship sailed for two days until the Arctic fleet was finally spotted in the middle of the sea.

  Doran had already given up hope of finding them, knowing very well what had happened as he shattered a cup in front of his entire family.

  "It seems we uimated the Arctig... They took Nyra right from under our noses," Martell ented with a certain venom in his tone.

  "I uimated him," he tinued. "He definitely knew about Nyra... But how did he get into the city? Was he on those ships the whole time and slipped past my spies?"

  Dazed at his family, who stood there with varied expressions, then turned his eyes to his brother with a serious tone. "I want you to go after them and bring Rhaenys back," he said, feeling the same ahat much of his family felt upon realizing they could be plundered so easily without even notig.

  After all, they knew Rhaenys had more affe for her uhan for anyone else in her family. Oberyn was not pleased to learn that, just a few days ago, Elia's daughter had been taken without them notig, while tless guards fell to the ground. He had to go after her.
