Chapter 91

I get onto the ship and watch as a group of women wearing the Miko Outfit wave at us. The ritual is done as I can see the sun shine brighter than usual. The others also notice it as they smile at the sun above us.

I can see the others have high morale after the ritual. I must say that this ritual is a good thing. It may cost a lot, but the morale boost it creates compensates enough for it.

I smile and look at Lord Stannis as our ship sets sail to join the others in fighting the Greyjoy.

"How long do you think it will take to join the others?"

I look at Ser Devos, who looks at the sky for a second and says.

"Four days. If there is nothing wrong, we will join the Redwyne Fleet in three days."

"Four days, huh? Three days to join the Redwyne Fleet before we go to Seagard to join the Royal Army. How long will it take for us to arrive at Seagard from Arbor?"

"Three days."

"A whole week, huh?"

Bloody hell. A whole week without doing anything will make me go crazy.

"Hah! By the look of your face, I take it you never go this long on a ship, huh?"

"Yeah. I prefer land travel because it is less boring than sea travel."

"Fair enough. Sea travel can be boring."

"Urgh"

I look at the sea and the city of Dragonstone, which has slowly disappeared from my vision. After thinking for a few seconds, I look at Ser Davos and say.

"Do you want to have a spar?"

While on the sea, I want to test my Falena River Dance in the real sea. While there will be no storm, the sea is still chaotic enough for me to test my fighting style.

"Oh? Are you sure? While I'm not as good as a fighter on land, I'm a master fighter on the sea, you know? No one has beat me on the ship."

"Heh. Let's test it, shall we?"

He laughs, and the two of us get into the middle of the ship, where one of the people who hear us gives us a training sword. I put away my shoes and feel the wood underneath me. I can feel the waves throwing the ship around and shaking the ground.

"Are you ready?"

I start to jump around and say.

"I'm ready."

I can see Ser Davos raise his eyebrow at my dancing move and dash forward. I smile at him and start to engage him in close combat. I block his sword and quickly change the direction of his movement.

I prolonged the fight and only hit him hard enough to cause pain. I grin at him as I continue to control his movement, and the longer we fight, the more frustrated he becomes as he never once lands a hit on me.

After ten minutes of fighting, I decided to end the fight by locking his weapon and twisting my hand to throw his weapon away. I put my sword on his shoulder with a smile on my face.

"And you are dead."

"What the hell is that?!"

"What?"

"That fighting style! It is as if you are dancing. It is like seeing the Water Dance practitioner fight but more fluid and more chaotic. I cannot read your movement because every time I think that I have read about you, your movement changes."

I smile and say.

"That is Falena River Dance. It is a fighting style that is used on the boat. We feel the wave underneath us and use it to our advantage."

Ser Davos looked at me for a few seconds before his eyes lit up.

"I see! That is why every now and then, you get a speed boost. When a wave hits the ship, I use my feet to stop myself from falling over, but you use it to attack."

"Yup."

Ser Davos looks at me for a few seconds and says.

"Can you teach me?"

"Of course! Let's start now."

"Just like that?!"

"Of course. Why should I reject your request? My teacher wants this style to be spread wide, and as its sole user of this fighting style, it is my obligation to spread it."

"I see… Is your teacher…?"

"She is far away now."

"I see. I'm sorry."

"Don't mention it."

Raja is far away from me, but she is not dead. She is still energetic as a child in a sugar rush. If I say that she is an old woman to her face, I will be ten meters under.

"Anyway, let's start our training."

|3rd POV|

The Royal Fleet arrived just as predicted by Ser Davos. Their journey is going smoothly because of the blessing from Susanoo and Amaterasu. There is no storm, and the wind is always in their favor making their journey smooth and without delay.

This speed also makes Lord Redwyne, Paxter Redwyne, look at them in shock as he knows that there is a storm brewing from the west, but here the Royal Fleet arrives faster than he predicted.

He thought that the Royal Fleet would arrive two days later, and that is why he has yet to move his fleet out of the dock.

And Stannis did not like what he saw. When he arrived in Arbor, the land where the Redwyne ruled, he was not impressed at the sight in front of him. When Lord Paxter Redwyne greets Stannis, the Lord of Dragonstone quickly says.

"Why have you not prepared for the attack? Didn't you say that we will immediately regroup with the Royal Army once we arrive?"

Paxter wants to make an excuse, but he knows he does not have anything and decides to tell the truth. He bows a little and says.

"I'm sorry, my lord. Because of the news of the storm coming from the west, I thought that you would come in two days from now. I will prepare the fleet right away so we can depart tomorrow. For now, please let me welcome you to Arbor and make a feast as an apology."

Stannis looks at the Lord of Redwyne and nods.

"Very well. Lead the way."

With the Royal Fleet arriving earlier than in the canon timeline, Jacob unknowingly changes the course of the battle that is soon to come.
