Becomes Her First Dance Partner

“Munch munch… gulp. I’ll dance with you, Haru-san, if it’s with you.” (Liliana)

“!?” (Raphael/Cardis)

Why do you always put me in such a difficult situation at times like this…?

Look, because of your careless words, it looks like I’m going to make enemies not only of Cardis and Raphael, the capture targets, but also of my wife, Xandra.

“Please think carefully. Even if His Highness the Prince invites me to dance, there’s no way I could be his partner since I’ve never danced before.” (Liliana)

“Well, I am technically the Third Prince…” (Harold)

“Then, it’s down to either Haru-san or Lloyd. But since I turned down the invitations from His Highness Cardis and His Highness Raphael, the only suitable partner left is Haru-san. How’s that? Perfect reasoning, right?” (Liliana)

That reasoning has nothing but things to criticize. Could you please stop completely ignoring my position?

“…Liliana-san. Do you understand what you’re saying?” (Alexandra)

“Hiiiii!?” (Liliana)

From behind, Xandra, with her faintly dark smile and red eyes, tapped Liliana’s shoulder, causing Liliana to scream so loudly it echoed through the hall.

I mean, she should have known this would happen from the start.

“Ah, I’m terribly sorry! I got carried away because of my own selfishness and asked Haru-san for help! I didn’t mean to interfere with either of you! Not at all!” (Liliana)

Liliana immediately dropped to her knees on the floor in a perfect kowtow.

In this party, I ended up witnessing two kowtows.

“…Haa, I guess it can’t be helped. Listen, Liliana-san, this is the only time… understood?” (Alexandra)

“!?!” (Liliana)

“But there won’t be another time.” (Alexandra)

“Yes! Thank you! Thank you so much!” (Liliana)

What’s gotten into her? Xandra actually allowed Liliana to have the first dance with me…?

“This is the composure of a true wife… don’t you think?” (Monica)

“Whoa!?” (Harold)

Suddenly, Monica appeared behind me and whispered in my ear.

“But, is it really okay with ‘Dragon’s Favor’ activated?” (Harold)

“Yes, although it’s activated, recently, she’s been in this state more often, so I think she’s gained some control over her reason.” (Monica)

“I see…” (Harold)

Considering the future, it’s certainly a good thing that she can control ‘Dragon’s Favor’, but if it causes her to lose control and go wild, it’d be a disaster.

“S-So, Haru-san! I’ve received Xandra-san’s permission! Please dance with me!” (Liliana)

“Eh, ehhh…?” (Harold)

When I glanced at Xandra, she was trembling, her shoulders shaking, but she nodded.

It really seems she’s okay with it. At this point, my own won’t matter anymore, and I am just swept along, ending up dancing with Liliana. So, here we are.

“Ah!? I-I’m sorry!” (Liliana)

“N-No, it’s fine…” (Harold)

I led Liliana to the center of the hall, and we danced the first dance, but I had been stepped on five times already, and my feet were starting to feel numb.

Also, she seems to be buffing herself to dance better, doesn’t she? I mean, it’s probably that, but every step she takes has a ridiculous amount of force behind it. This is definitely the right choice to have me as her partner.

“R-Really, I could have danced with someone else, but since I’ve never danced before, only Haru-san would forgive me for doing this…” (Liliana)

“Ahaha…” (Harold)

I could only give a wry smile at Liliana, who was blushing and looking down.

So, she must have judged that with me, it’s okay if she messes up and even hurts me, huh? Sadly, that’s the right conclusion.

“But” (Liliana)

“Liliana?” (Harold)

“My first dance partner ever is Haru-san… I’m so happy…” (Liliana)

…Saying that with that expression, isn’t that unfair? I’m a sad prince who doesn’t even appear in ‘Galhaz’, I wasn’t even a mob character. I think she should show that face to one of the other capture targets. More than that, I already have a wife.

After that, I endured the pain of being stepped on by Liliana and finally, the song ended.

I did my best, my poor feet.

“Haru-san, thank you!” (Liliana)

“No, no, thank you too.” (Harold)

I returned her curtsy with a bow.

In the end, it seems like she had fun, so I’m relieved.

I took Liliana’s hand and returned to everyone else.

“…” (Cardis/Raphael/Others)

Cardis and Raphael looked pale. Actually, when I looked closely, all the sons of the capture targets had the same expression.

It’s probably because they saw my feet being stabbed repeatedly by her heels. As a result, Liliana probably won’t be invited to dance anymore…

“Ah!? Xandra!?” (Harold)

“…Next, it’s my turn.” (Alexandra)

Xandra, with her red eyes, embraced me tightly, and I was forcefully led to the center.

Of course, after that, I endured the pain in my feet and enjoyed the dance with Xandra. By the way, her eyes were still red.
