Chapter 18 - Four Years (III)
"How would you like to be recognized? For your beauty? Wealth? For the number of women you've conquered throughout your life? Others may complain that such achievements are useless and futile, but you've managed to leave your legacy in the world and they haven't. Which is something to celebrate." Aenar Targaryen.

"Should war come to our home, we will fight together, Uncle," Jon said, his voice terribly serious and determined, causing Eddard to display an expression of surprise and emotion.
It was the first time Jon had called him anything other than Lord Stark. He had called him uncle.
"You can go back to your room, Jon. You must be tired," Eddard said, noting the exhausted expression on his nephew's face. He also noticed the slightly red eyes, as if the boy was going to cry at any moment.
Jon nodded and left Lord Stark's solar. As soon as he closed the door, his expression returned to normal. He wiped away the tears he had forced himself to shed and walked calmly away.
The first part of the plan was ready, now it was just a matter of making his uncle increasingly wary of the King and finally demonstrating his sense of revenge towards the King. He would reveal his plan to take the throne and avenge his Good Mother, Ellia Martell, and her brothers and sisters.
Eddard could not deny a son's right to avenge his house, it would inevitably bring the North into the war and, with the existence of Caraxes to prove his legitimacy, Jon was sure that many other noble houses were ready to rebel.
The plan was going according to what Jon wanted, he just had to follow what he planned to sit on the Iron Throne before the Night King with his army of hundreds of thousands of undead got anywhere near the Wall.
As Jon was thinking about the countless possibilities he had seen in the future, he felt a pair of eyes fall on him and he glanced at a dark-haired girl looking at him with big dark brown eyes.
"Jon!" Seeing that she had been caught red-handed, the girl came out from behind a pillar she was hiding behind and exclaimed loudly, running towards him.
