Jon POV

I was call by the lord commander, I have not yet taken my vows and just when I was about to say them, the lord commander call for me. So as I enter the lord commanders tower, I saw him reading a letter.

Jon, he said, prepare your things, the king has call for you.

What?, I said, for what?.

To marry the disgraced ex princess Myrcella Waters, apparently she is a bastard born of incest. All of the former queens children are bastards born of incest.  The king have the idea of making you a Stark and marry her, so he can humillate Cercei Lannister, so you can make her a wolf and not a lion. And send her north to freeze. This is a royal command, Jon, so you dont have a choice. I was confused and angry at the king. 

When do I leave?, I asked.

As soon as you are ready, lord commander Mormont said.  I have something for you.

What?, I asked.

You save my life a few nights ago, he said, so I want you to have this and make it your family sword. I remade the pommel for a white wolf instead of bear.

But, sir, I said, I am a bastard.

A bastard no more, lord commander said, king Robert has make you a Stark and your father declare you lord of Mount Callin.

What I had taken  my vows?, I asked.

Robert had  free you of the vows, lord Mormont commander said, get your things and prepare to leave. Say your goodbyes and good luck boy,

Thank you, I said.

Please tell your father of what you saw, said lord commander Mormont when I reach the door, he may listen to you.

Of course, I said, I will tell him, after I got out, I encountered my friends, who were now brothers of the Night Watch.

Jon, said Sam, ready to take your vows?.

I can not take them, I said, the king is forcing me to marry the bastard daughter if Cercei Lannister, apparently the three royal children, are not royal at all,  they are bastards born of incest.

Crap, Snow, said Edd, good luck mate.

Thanks, I said, I guess I can never stop be a Snow.

Why do say that?, asked Pyp.

I am a Stark now, I said, and lord of Mount Callin. Lady Stark will kill me, I am sure of it. I will send men, I promise. See you later. I then went to the port and took a boat to king's landing were my future wife awaits me. It took two full moons for me to arrive to the capital. Awaiting me were my father and my sisters. 

Jon!, said Arya, as she run to me and hug me. I guess we are brother in blood and name now.

I guess we are, I said, hello Sansa....she interrupted me with a hug.

Forgive me for how I treated you, she said.

There is nothing to forgive, I said, you are my sister and I will always love you. But can I asked a favor?.

Sure, Sansa said.

Can you help in  learning how to dance?, I asked, I dont want to step on Myrcella,

Of course Jon, Sansa said. You deserve happiness, Myrcella is a good person and is nothing like his brother Joffrey. Please treat Tommen nicely, he is just a boy.

Of course, I said.

Jon?, said Tommen then, the king asked me to became your squire.

Well, I said, there is a problem with that.

What do you mean?, Tommen asked.

I am not a knight, I said and I am a believer of the old Gods.

Jon, said my father, I am glad you came, we don't want Robert's fury. Believe me son, this is not what I planned, I never thought he will want you as a pawn. Robert will knighted you.

But I never...., I was about to say, only to be interrupted by the king.

You are Ned's bastard, he said, good, you will soon meet you bestowed, remember boy, she deserves no respect, she is a incest bastard, dont treat her like a lady, treat her like a common whore. I could not believe how the king was speaking. Of course I will not do that, but I can not say that in front of the king. But my father, he looked beyond angry.

Robert, he said, my son will treat his wife as I treat mine, he is a Stark and will not make a stain in his honor by mistreating an innocent girl.

Whatever, king Robert said, he can do as he please, as long as she never carries the name Lannister. Boy, kneel to me. I did what he told me. He asked for a sword and then name me ser Jon Stark. I was knighted by doing nothing.  I felt as I did not deserve it, but it was already done.
