[King's Landing - Red Keep, Throne Room]

The streets of King's Landing were filled with a mix of relief and unease as the citizens tried to come to terms with the defeat of the Night King. While they were grateful to have survived the Long Night, many could not help but feel a sense of dread as they thought about the future. For the first time since the War of the Usurper, the city felt vulnerable, like it was balancing on a knife's edge.

At the heart of the tension was the fate of Queen Daenerys Targaryen. Her actions during the battle had left many dead and injured, and the people of King's Landing viewed her as a ticking time bomb waiting to go off again. They looked at Jon Snow, the new king, for answers, hoping that he would find a way to keep his queen under control.

Jon, however, seemed just as lost as everyone else. He had alwys been a man of honour and integrity, but the weight of the crown and the responsibility of ruling over the Seven Kingdoms was starting to wear him down. He knew that something needed to be done about Daenerys, but he did not know what.

As the dais passed, the whispers grew louder and more urgent. Some called for Daenerys to be imprisoned or exiled, while others demanded that she be put on trial for her crimes. But no matter what solution was proposed, one thing was certain: the people of King's Landing would not rest untul justice was served.

One day, as Jon sat on the Iron Throne, surrounded by his advisors and guards, a group of nobles approached Jon, their faces stern and disapproving. "Your Grace," one of them said, "we must speak with you about the queen."

"What of her?" Jon asked wearily.

"We fear that she has become a danger to our people," another noble added. "She has burned and killed innocents, and many believe that she may do so again. We implore you, Your Grace, to take action and protect us from her wrath."

Jon sighed heavily, rubbing his temples. He knew that these words were not unexpected, but they still cut deep. He had alwys known that ruling would come with difficult decisions, but he never thought it would be like this.

"I understand your concerns," he replied, his voice measured and careful. "But I cannot simply cast aside my wife without due cause. She is still my queen and aunt, and I swore to defend her and our realm."

The nobles nodded reluctantly, but their eyes betrayed their skepticism. They did not share Jon's faith in Daenerys, and they feared for their own lives under her rule. As the dais passed, tensions only heightened, and the people of King's Landing waited anxiously to see how their king would address the crisis that threatened to tear their kingdom apart.

Jon Snow, now officially crowned as the new King of the Seven Kingdoms, walked through the streets, flanked by guards, greeting his subjects and listening to their concerns. He knew that the people of King's Landing viewed Daenerys as a ticking timr bomb, ready to go off at any monent and bring more devastation upon them. Some whispered their fears directly into his ear, imploring him to take action against the Mother of Dragons befor it was too late.

"Your Grace," one man approached Jon, his voice trembling with anxiety. "What will you do about the queen? She has brought us so much pain and suffering. How can we trust her to rule over us?"

Jon listened intently, his brow furrowed in thought. He understood the fear and anger that gripped the people, but he also knew that Daenerys believed she was doing what is right. She sees herself as a liberator, freeing the realm from tyranny and darkness. But the price she demanded was simply too high, even though she had turned the odds in their favour, allowing him to slay the Night King.

"I understand your concerns," Jon replied, choosing his words carefully. "But I cannot make decisions based solely on emotion or fear. We need to find a way to address these issues peacefully and ensure the safety of all our people."
