Chapter 12: Allies in Kuskus and South Window

On the way to Kuskus, Lene was still depressed following Stefan's immediate execution. Seed watches her in disappointment and he looked at the sky view as he thought.

I guess their world is different than mine. Everyone knows that I was truly dead, even they called Culgan as a silver-haired guy from their record books. Maybe I was lucky because I was transported to their world by accident. Perhaps, living in their world would create my own legacy here. As a General myself, this is the first time I became involved into this dumb war and falling in love with a feisty princess. I didn't know of how she can tolerate that stupid Prince on their toxic relationship. As a Flaming General, I've never seen her getting interested at me, being a handsome red-headed guy with a bad temper.

"You look upset, red head..."

"What is it, mockingbird? Is it about Lene?" Seed said in a grunt tone as Sean looked at her and seeing because of her relationship with Stefan.

"Uhm... I don't mean to talk about the princess. It's just that her relationship with the dumb ass Prince."

"That guy again! I already told her that she needs to see the light. That guy is already dead and she still thinks of him after all this!" Seed exclaims angrily as Sean explains to him.

"Still don't get it, red head. The truth is... the two were close before you came in." Sean said while raising his brow. "That's before when that marriage contract signing came through."

"..."

"Stefan is a good man if you don't ask me. The only problem for him when he suffers narcissism. It was a sickness. Spencer which is the King from a different kingdom within the Queendom of Falena, noticed his son's change of personality and he wanted to postponed the marriage contract with Lars. But Stefan didn't stop there until he get what he really wanted. That's why he came to Muse to see her and us." Sean explained as he shrugs at Seed's temper. "Since everyone knows you were dead, you don't even know their relationship between them. I know you don't like the person because of his awful behavior."

"...Oh that's right... me and Culgan were killed from Lord Riou and his Dunan Army in a valor fight just to show our pride to protect our country in Highland. That's why I tried to convince Lene to forget that no good bastard and she refuses. I didn't expect that they were so close." Seed mumbled sadly and Sean tells him.

"You know if you wanna cheer her up, I think if we go to that town you were saying. That would be good."

"I guess we're almost to Kuskus Town right now." Seed replied as he looked to see the town.

Arriving at Kuskus Town, Damian, Lene and Sean were impressed to see the town as they saw a lot of citizens are watching both a male and female dancer dance in a modern way.

"Hey, check this out!" Damian points out about their dance which surprises Sean.

"No kidding... these two are pretty good."

"What's the hold up!? Are we watching the entire show or we move on ahead?!" Seed said annoyingly on both men as one of the dancers points out on Sean to volunteer.

"What do you say we picked a girl in a vest to volunteer?"

With that remark causing Sean to get pissed on the man as Seed laughs when he was mistaken as a woman.

"You think I'm a woman you say, you stupid idiot!? Are you trying to show up my hidden talents?"

"Take it easy, mockingbird. It's pretty funny if you get mistook as a girl because of your hair." Seed tried to calm Sean out until the dancer show up his moves.

"Why don't you impress Lene if you wanna outdance that idiot, red head?" Sean whispers which makes him blushed and knowing that he can't dance as he thought.

This is embarrassing, why do I get involved on these. Oh well... I really like to impress Lene and I wanted to cheer her up.

Seed tries to dance on the dancer which surprises everyone including Lene as the latter did the same when he grinds. Seed goes for a moonwalk while the latter goes the same and both finally yells.

"Dance Break!"

With that, one female dancer and Sean join up to dance with the song "Boom Boom Dollar" much to the laughter of both Lene and Damian as well as the citizens which makes Sean take a move on groove until the male dancer decided to take on the splits. With one female splits succeed in taking the split. Sean takes on a grind and split which makes everyone were getting surprised to their performance. Seed became disappointed knowing that he can't split as Sean informs him that he has to do it which he reluctantly accepts as he tried to split but hurting his balls, much to the laughter of everyone as he angrily reacts.

"Oww! Man that smarts! This is not funny!"

Despite his anger however, Lene was laughing at him in which he succeeds to impress her. Afterwards, the two dancers finally introduced themselves to them.

"We apologizes for making all the screw ups. That red-headed guy knows about the house dance. I'm Terrence and this is Yako."

"Good to see you, we really thought you were a woman, tee hee." Yako giggles at Sean's appearance.

"It's okay... the red head is fine. Damian actually gave him some bags of ice for his crotch..." Sean said pointing out on Seed who is hurt.

"I've never seen you can dance, Seed. That was a wonderful performance..." Lene smiled excitedly which Seed replies while putting some bags of ice on his crotch giving her a peace sign.

"Uhhh, thanks for the compliment. But it hurts my crotch, Owww..."

"Ohhh... so that woman with him was a princess. Wow... that guy is amazing. Just to impress a beautiful lady to show off his dance moves." Terrence smiled and he looked at Sean. "In that case, we'll join your group. Cause me and Yako wanted to show our dance performance to the world."

They soon enter at the Blacksmithy where their weapons are getting sharpen. The blacksmithy is actually a master blacksmith Tensai and the descendant of Tessai who easily describes about Seed's sword.

"This weapon is priceless it was made of diamond or a platinum."

"How come you say that my sword is made of diamonds? It was just like a silver blade to me." Seed said while shrugging over his description as Tensai tells him.

"Your main weapon is a Diamond Sword. If you keep sharpen your sword, It will be upgraded into a Platinum Sword. The final upgrade of your weapon is an Obsidian Sword and it was the most powerful one. It was the first time I forge some of their weapons which is in different variety."

"Well a self-proclaimed General from a royal kingdom just got a very expensive weapon." Sean commented making Seed raising his brow.

"Hey! My sword is very precious to me, mockingbird! I really earn that from my peasant days until they recruited me in the Highland Army. I know the royal Highland Kingdom were rich when they took me in the militia."

"I would glad to join up to your cause, young lady." Tensai decides to join up to their group which Lene agrees in a nod.

They now travel to south leads to South Window City and they finally arrive at the town, being greeted by Zelstan's assistant, Kai Yamamoto.

"Welcome, your highness to South Window and I'm General Kai Yamamoto. Nice to meet you..."

Seed recognizes the man wearing glasses who bore a resemblance to the General Freed Yamamoto who assisted with Granmeyer as he thought.

This guy is pretty familiar to me, he looks like the same guy who assisted Granmeyer. But since Solon executes him I feel bored after we had dealt with the old coward.

"Good to see you, is the mayor of South Window was here?" Lene asked as Kai answers.

"Yes... he was alongside General Risho and General Melvin Barnes from Two River. Please, I'll show you the office."

When they arrive at the office, Zelstan was surprise to see Lene's presence especially General Risho.

"It was the princess from Silveria Kingdom. I'm honor to see you again..."

"How come the leaders from Two River City doing here too?" Lene was surprised from their presence and this is how Zelstan explains everything.

"You mean Two River was already been overrun by the Silverian Army. Why is that?" Sean reacted about their current situation as Zelstan tells them.

"It was done by the person named Darius."

"That bastard who tries to retake at the Kobold community while the Wingers have no chance to run. Lakewest Town was already been overrun when we tried to escape by boat."

"Maybe we should clean up the town, both of you." Seed finally responds regarding about dealing against the Silverian Army.

"We'll take care of things, both of you. You can count on us." Lene said nicely to both.

"We were grateful for you, your highness." Zelstan said as Risho decides to join their entourage.

"I decided to come along with the princess. This time she returns our favor for aiding against the Silverian Army. Because the real mayor of Two River was my father and I wanted to check on him."

At the tavern side, they discuss in how to deal against the soldiers from the Silverian Army. Both Damian and Sean looked to see how Seed was trying to think of a strategy.

"That red headed dude had some spunk on him. He really say that we're gonna sweep down the house."

"Relax, Damian... he was so tense. I think he knows something when we came to South Window City and..." Sean said as Seed tried to keep him quiet.

"Can't you shut up, mockingbird. I'm trying to think in how to attack them. I'm not a military strategist, okay..."

At my time, I know I was having fun when Solon had already executed the old coward who gave up without a fight. Now that I need to deal that giant vermin who called me a jackass and sending another one of his rats in the cage to infiltrate the town.

Seed looked at Lene who watches along with Sean and Damian and seeing that she can shoot explosive tasers much to her surprise.

"Uhm, Seed... why do you keep looking at me like this? Is there a problem?"

"You're the only feisty princess who can shoot explosive tasers from your tonfas." Seed said as he finalized the strategy that Lene can shoot tasers from her tonfas.

"So what's our role then, red head. You handpicked Lene just because she can shoot explosives from her double-sided tonfas. Arrogance always led us in defeat?" Sean said while raising his brow as Seed stands up and facing both of them.

"We're the offensive types, mockingbird. That's why she's gonna give us the signal once she outsmart the enemy by shooting these explosive tasers. I kinda like if I casts Explosion with my Fire Rune if she shoots these explosive tasers to make a full powered version of it."

"Ohhh... In that case, we're gonna swoop those guys once she outsmarts on one of them." Damian said as Renzo arrives to see them.

"Don't forget that this man can also throw his sword to make explosions."

Seed soon rethinks about Sean since he actually saw him how he threw one of his swords from his Tokkosho creating an explosion which he changes strategy.

"Okay... Lene can shoot explosive tasers while the mockingbird can throw his sword. Sounds like a nice strategy because that would make an ambush. Well, let's get back to Kuskus because that Risho guy is waiting for us there."

Before going to Kuskus, a man recognizes Sean from taking research about the Sindar Ruins as he looked to see him.

"Hmph... Quite impressive... My name is Killian. It looks like you were sided with the princess. Perhaps, joining you will be perfect."

Sean smirks when Killian decided to join to their cause and leaves back to Higheast City. Damian was surprised to see him leave. Back at the docks in Kuskus Town, the soldiers are ready on board as the group finally enters the boat.

"I just hope you can be protected and guarded, your highness. It looks like you're able to fight the army." Risho said nicely to the princess which she nods in agreement.

The boat soon moves at the west that leads through Lakewest Town once they arrive. A soldier from the Silverian Army was guarded the entire docks. Lene gets off the boat to confront it.

"What brings you here, your highness?"

Lene happily grins to see the soldier as her right hand is able to spin her double-sided tonfas until she blasts the soldier with her explosive tasers in a close range. The soldiers are gathered to see one soldier was down and they readied their swords. To their shock, one of Sean's swords from his Tokkosho was thrown as they blew them away in explosion as most of the New State Army including the newly reformed Higheast Army being sent by Renzo for them to attack the Silverian Army. Sean gets his sword and reforms back into a Tokkosho to set the attack alongside Lene and Damian. Seed looked to watch the entire scene as he gets his sword from his sheath and he whistles that his strategy had worked.

"Now that's too sweet!"

With that, Seed followed them to battle the soldiers at the Silverian Army in order to retake Lakewest Town.
