บท 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 me about it while Delmare and Odeta were all over me 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 time. 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 me to be trying to get the prince's attention to be part of his harem.

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