What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy? Chapter 350 A Royal Dance

"Did you know about this, Katsuki?" I asked, referring to the fact that this was a ball for the prince to find a wife.

"Of course, Mistress. I was the one who told you about it."

Oh… Right… I think I vaguely recall Katsuki being there telling about it while Delmare and Odeta were all over in my ball gown…

My bad.

As though reading my mind, Katsuki shook her head, "You do not need to feel bad about it Mistress, you were quite occupied with Odeta and Miss Delmare at that ti. In addition, knowing this fact would not change any plans either."

I suppose that's true too… Especially since this is a 'date' with Mother and she's the one who chose this place.

And just like what she had said to the Duke just now, I doubt she was expecting to be trying to get the prince's attention to be part of his harem.

The fact that she did not say 'wife' told that the prince already had several other partners even before this ball.

I was also in no position to say anything about that since I also have multiple partners of my own.

I won't call it a harem yet since technically you need at least three people to call it one, right? At least that's what I think the rule was?

Oh who cares, I know I'm more interested in the sweets in front of right now! Those other girls can go and try and woo him all they want because I'm definitely not interested in him~

I took up my fork to cut a small bit of the chocolate cake I was planning to eat. Just as I was about to stab my fork into the little treat, a voice spoke up from behind .

"Please excuse the rudeness, milady. Might I know your na?"

Uggghhhh… Why am I not surprised…

I turned around to see the prince himself standing behind with the kind of smile you might expect to see on those pretty boys. I could have sworn there were sparkles around him while he was flashing that smile at too.

Most of the girls that had been trying to get his attention were also gathered behind him, a few of them clearly miffed that he had co to talk to instead of them.

At first I thought it would be fine for to just give him my na but before I could, I felt a soft tug on the back of my dress, prompting to shift my gaze behind .

Katsuki had her head down but I noticed that she was slowly shaking her head.

I interpreted it as a sign that I should not be giving the prince my na and I also realised that if I did, they would probably make the connection that the normal was the actual child of the Nilm family.

But… There's people out there who already knew about Katsuki, right? They also know that she's my personal maid so seeing her here would clue them in about my identity wouldn't they?

Oh what do I know? Maybe she also has so kind of artefact on her that is stopping people from realising who she was. I just need to be careful about myself.

I turned back to the prince and smiled, belatedly realising that he probably can't perceive the smile because of the mask I was wearing anyway.

I curtsied, "Pardon , Prince Lucius, thank you for inviting to your party today. However, I must insist that I not be allowed to reveal my na."

A few of the girls gaped at my discourtesy but the prince did not seem to bothered by it and maintained his smiling visage.

"Even if it was the third prince asking for it?"

I nodded, "My apologies, it's a no even if it's the third prince asking for it."

"Ahaha! That just makes all the more curious, Milady! No matter, I am well aware that it would be rude for to pry a lady's secrets~ But if I were to ask for a dance, surely you would not begrudge of sothing as simple as that?"

Ugh… Now I'm put in a spot…

I believe I can still reject him but that would make him lose face especially after he had chosen to skip over so many other girls to talk to instead. If he's the type to bear grudges, he might co back and cause trouble for …

Oh well… It's just a dance right? It shouldn't be too hard to just waltz with him for a little while and then co back here to enjoy my sweets again.

I stretched out my hand to him, palm facing down, "I would be honoured, Prince Lucius."

His smile widened slightly and he reached forward to take my hand, "It is my pleasure, Milady."

The other girls made barely audible groans of disappointnt with a few of them even outright glaring at like I just kicked their dog or sothing.

Co on… It's not like I intentionally took him away from all of you… It's obvious the prince also likes sweets and he was only interested in because I was here eating sweets. Maybe if you girls also go and start enjoying those delicious treats, he might notice you as well!

I'm kidding of course. I just want them to go eat so sweets instead of glaring at like that.

He brought to the centre of the hall before turning back to put his other hand on my back while stretching out the other hand that was holding onto mine towards the side.

I recognised it as the standard pose of a waltz so I placed my free hand on his shoulder and assud a ready position as well.

The orchestra that was in charge of the music then started to play a slow lody, prompting the prince to begin our dance as he set the pace of our waltz.

Since I had so practice with it during my birthday, I was able to avoid embarrassing myself and keep up with the prince, despite the fact that I was mostly dancing as the leader instead of the follower back then.

It was also only then did I realise that we were the only ones on the dance floor and it took a mont more to realise why. This was the first dance of the ball, which ans the prince has chosen as his first dance partner and everyone's eyes were on .

While spinning around, I saw Mother looking at with an amused smile on her face, clearly enjoying the sight of being roped into this by the prince.

Duke Arlta was also nearby and was looking at with a wry smile, though I wasn't sure why.

"You are a really good dancer, Milady," The prince noted, probably just to have polite conversation while we danced.

"Thank you, Prince Lucius. You are also exceptional yourself."

"I don't suppose Milady would be willing to tell your na now that we are out of earshot from the other ladies?"

Hmm? Did he think that I was only unwilling to give my na because I was afraid the other girls would co and find ?

"Fufu~ I apologise Prince Lucius, but I truly cannot tell you my na."

"That's a sha… You seem like an interesting person so I would not mind getting to know you better."

"Is this so that you can add to your harem, my prince?"

"I will not deny that the thought was there, but I can assure you that I will not force you if you do not wish to. I was rely thinking that I truly would not mind knowing soone as interesting as you are, Milady. I think it would be mutually beneficial for us to get along."

At least he's straight forward in admitting what he really wanted…

I'm not sure how much he knew but he most likely realised I was related to the Nilm family in so way so if he was able to have friendly relations with , that would also equate to having friendly relations with Mother as well.

And if he could sohow charm into his harem, he would even be able to get his hands on the Nilm Family too, which might arguably be a better choice than fighting his siblings for the throne.

I let him spin us around to waltz back to the centre of the hall again before I chuckled, "I am rely just a normal citizen of the kingdom my prince. I am not worthy of your attention like that. If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion, the high class ladies over there might be more suitable than soone like ."

He smiled wryly at , "You certainly have a way with words Milady. I shall keep your suggestion in mind."

Good, he didn't get offended by that.

Now I just need to finish this dance before I can get back to my sweets…
