Chapter 4

Jason Lannister

He decided to take a walk around the fields. Jason remembers that the King announced that Lord Stark decided to take the mantle as Hand to the King and his firstborn daughter, Lady Sansa is engaged to Joffrey Baratheon.

Jason already knew that this will make Joffrey need another wife if Sansa Stark had accidentally died.

Jason sighs a bit as he rubbed his forehead with a coming headache reaching into his skull.

He wonders what the King could believe that this match is a good idea.

'No, he is only thinking about Lyanna Stark again.'

It was no secret to him or anyone in the court that Robert wanted Lyanna as his wife and Cersei is not the woman he wanted.

Cersei who prided the most beautiful and riches in the world, but two people did not want her. First, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen who married Elia Martell; instead of her.

Now Robert Baratheon who had rather drink and whore his life away and hating the woman who is not Lyanna.

Jason sings a song.

"Home is behind the world ahead

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadow to the edge of night

Until the stars are all alight.

Mist and shadow

Cloud and shade

All shall fade

All shall fade"

A branch brakes that made Jason falter and pulled out his sword to his unknown attacker.

"Peace! My Lord I—I mean no harm!"

'Oh,' His maroon eyes widen briefly as he noticed his Stark like features. He looked scared but did not falter and raised his hands to show his surrender.

This must be the famous Jon Snow that he had heard about. Jason heard of this boy's story. Born during the campaign of King Robert's rebellion and Lord Eddard Stark had broken his vow after he married his deceased brother's betrothed when he married her for their army. However, no one knew who Jon Snow's mother was. Some say his mother was Ashara Dayne others say she was someone else. Sadly, the only one who knew about his birth would be Lord Stark, but he wouldn't say to anyone.

He sympathizes with the Snow boy here. After all, a bastard's life was hard enough and cruel as the world can get. Jason got lucky because Lord Lannister needed an heir that he can be proud of and Tyrion wasn't the ideal son that Tywin Lannister had wanted. Jason wished that his uncle Tyrion could be recognized as the next Lord Lannister, but his dwarfism blocks narrow-minded people.

Hopefully, he can give his uncle something in return for helping him feel human.

"My apologies, Lord Snow. You must forgive me that I can be on edge when someone is lurking behind my back." Jason sheath his sword back and looked at him.

"No, my lord. It should be I apologize to you, my lord." Jon flustered in embarrassment or frustration. Jason's right eyebrows are raised and think as he analyzed his physical body. He could tell that Jon Snow's body is build up very well in swordsmanship and maybe he could very well be a knight if given a chance.

Jason figured in his thoughts, 'Perhaps if given a chance he could be my squire. Since his lordship, Tywin Lannister has been demanding or better yet commanded that I must have a squire. If Jon Snow wished for it. I can take him on like a square.'

"Jon Snow, Are you good with a sword?" Jason question as his eyes looked at him.

Jon is surprised, but quickly answered, "I…Ser Rodrik often said that I was born with a sword in my hand, but sadly I can't upstage my brother. That is….!"

He raised his hand to pause his rambling. Snow followed silent order.

'So, he lacks in sense of freedom or better yet, Lady Stark's overbearing nature.'

Jason could understand that Lady mothers don't want their legitimate children to be praised by their illegitimate offspring. It was the same with Cersei Lannister. For you see, she never let any her children near him. Hell, she looked at him as if his mere existence shame her.

Mycerlla and Tommen looked up to him as their older brother, but Joffrey despised him. Jason was always better at him despite his bad reputations, yet the common folk loves him even King Robert admired him more.

"Let talk about your future, shall we?" Jason places his hand on Jon Snow's shoulder as they walk to the green area.

Jason believes Jon Snow's future should be something great as Jason believes that anyone could be more then what people told them to be.

Jon Snow

Jon Snow sat in the bed of his chambers with a shocked face that appeared on him.

He couldn't believe it!

Flashback:

Jon is nervous. No, he is downright afraid. Not of Jason Lannister, but he heard of his stories.

However, he is afraid that he will shame his father's house. By Gods! He prayed for mercy.

"Your name is Jon Snow correct?" Lord Lannister questioned him.

"Yes, my lord."

"I have been thinking about what you are planning for the future that is?"

His future. Well, there is one.

"I am planning to take the Black and guard the wall where I can gain my honor there."

"I see. Then I am afraid that is a waste of talent don't you think?"

Jon nearly snarled, "It is considered an honor to guard the wall."

Jason stops and turns, "I am saying that you will be another lost soul doomed to a wasteland. It is filled with criminals now and days. Even some I had to send them for their crimes in Westlands. I wished to give this opportunity here. If you desire so. I need a squire since there is no one I have to consider good ones."

Jon gaps at Jason and stuttered, "But my Lord, I am nothing more than a bastard! Surely, there some more worthy…"

"You forget, Lord Snow that I too was a bastard. Despite this, they still refuse to acknowledge my legitimized my Lannister name. That is not all. They lack the qualities that you possessed."

Jon did not know what to say. Other than that he was nearly forgotten that Jason Lannister was a Hill before Lannister.

"Just think about it. It's no one's decisions about your future, but your own."

So, they walked back to Winterfell and Jon Stood there before he quickly disappeared to his chambers.

Jon couldn't believe it! Him a squire for Jason Lannister! He doesn't know what to think!

He didn't consider it then no one had considered the small possibilities of being anything.

Ghost came and look up to Jon Snow.

"Ghost do you think maybe I do have a choice?" Jon questioned his direwolf.

Ghost lick his check which he chuckles silently.

He knows his answer.

Now the question is will he truly change his life?

Now here we are. Now reviews are welcome. Stay safe and please do what you can for your life. The song came from LOTR by Pippin song called, "Edge of the night"
