You snort. "Worried I was gonna kick your butt?"

"Yes, actually," he says.

"Whoa." You didn't think he'd be that honest with you.
Impressed he admitted to it!

He leans in as if to kiss you, your body tenses up. You're a split-second from kneeing him in the balls before he whispers in your ear. "I wish to learn to mix beauty and strength as you do. If a woman can have both, why not a man?"
Hah. So someone else is thinking of breaking social roles. Really just this exchange warranted us agreeing to dancing

Prince Alteisen lifts you up in a figure-skater spin, causing your dress train to puff out like a parasol.
Considering how poofy her dress is, this must be quite the sight.

The swell of the music and the rush of the wind is awakening something in you. This dance is scratching a pretty princess itch you didn't know you had. Usually you played the prince to other girls (and some guys), but getting spun about by a no-spit prince hits different.

You're still not really sold on the Prince, but you're enjoying this a whole lot. You're feeling more amiable to him despite yourself.

The music dies down and the dance comes to an end. The Prince is blushing lightly and his half-smirk has turned into a genuine smile. He kneels before you and softly kisses the back of your hand. You blush back and ruffle his hair with your free hand.
Heh, for all that we're the princess of fists, there's a time to enjoy being a princess. I can feel omake material swirl at the back of my brain.

Prince Alteisen's eyes go wide with shock once he processes what you've done. "My hair!" He desperately goes to fix it, but you place your hand atop his.

You give him a cheeky smile. "You look better like this, I think."

Undoing your bun, you let your own wild hair fall loose and free. It's long enough now to lightly kiss the floor. Your hair gently envelops the Prince for your next words, whispered into his ear as payback for earlier. "Besides, you wanted to be more like me, right?"
Annnd we turn the corners on him! Very cute. I do also like our hair falling down like a waterfall.

You pull your massive hair back into a high ponytail, cinching it tight with a strand of itself. You meet Lord Alteisen's dour gaze with a small, fierce smile. "Was that a sufficient show of our mettle?"
...Clever trick.

Your eye twitches at this insult to Justine and your femininity, but you curtsy how Chiaki taught you. "Thank you for your appraisal, Lord Alteisen." You take your petticoats and spin, sneakily flipping Lord Alteisen the bird from behind as you turn to Justine.
I like us using courtly manners to conceal us insulting him'

She gives you a small, fierce smile and hugs you. The warmth of a job well done suffuses you.
Making Justine happy is also a nice plus. We managed to play our role, but in our own sense of style.

I like the idea of Grace going the ojou-sama route of, yes being beautiful is wonderful no?

You give him a cheeky smile. "You look better like this, I think."

Since we have this back and form about our hair, I think preening a bit with Grace thinking favorably of her golden locks works.
Happy with either of these.
 
I think Bridgette might be feeling a bit jealous of her brother. Sure, she's got her hands on Grace lots of times, but not like in a waltz. Perhaps we should make her blush by asking to dance. And perhaps she's now planning to beat her brother up. Can't let him win Grace over now, can she?

[X] I'd be happy to help, but you coulda just asked normally y'know?

[x] That's weird. You're weird.

I am not losing punching rights to the only eligible royalty in the story. Bridgette doesn't count, she wants to be punched.

"Don't be a creep and I won't have to turn this to a ballroom blitz," you whisper back.
Oh, it's been getting so hard,
living with Truck-kun's chicanery.
This isekai is so strange,
I'd like to tell you everything I see...

Oh, I see a maid in the back, her palm going *SMACK*
to her face, with a sound like a gun!
And in the dress-armor, the villainess charmer,
stealing hearts on a harem speedrun!

OH, YEAH!

Omake - Scenario Clearing
As you hug Justine, you let yourself enjoy the happy, warm feeling radiating through you. The whole dance with Prince Alteisen was worth it for the fierce pride she now showed.

For the first time, you feel like her daughter.

Eventually someone calls out for the Duchess's attention and you reluctantly pull away as she turns to respond to them. While part of you is annoyed by the interruption, you knw how important it was for the Claudius family to maintain good relations with their vassals.

Glancing around the crowd of nobles and hangers-on, you could see a fair amount of attention and interest directed your way. You stood up with home-grown confidence and all the poise your decorum classes taught you as you reflected on how your encounter with your not-yet fiance had gone.

With a gentle curtsey and more blushing than you expected, you greet some of the well-wishers remarking what an excellent couple you and Prince Alteisen made. You don't see it yourself, but now you can see yourself seeing it later. You know it's funny to say while living in a dating sim, but all that mushy romance stuff wasn't your aim. You just wanted to live the princess ball life.

Back home, you always enjoyed dressing up in fancy gowns and uniform for cosplay; not just because flashy outfits rule, but for the roleplaying, too. It allowed you to act out the larger-than-life noble personas so far removed from your modern life as a blue-collar sporty schoolgirl. Alas, since it was mostly girls in the scene (and you were the most princely looking in it), you never actually got to be across from someone playing your prince charming.

But enough about the past. By not giving into your first impressions about Prince Alteisen, you discovered some interesting things about him. That he was willing to be honest with you and that he desired to channel some of the beauty and strength you had.

The dance with him not only let you learn that, but reminded you just how fun playing the pretty princess could be. And with your uber-fancy gown you certainly looked the part! You'd dressed to impress, by evoking the frilly gowns and poofy skirts with train Duchess Justine usually wore but turning it up to 11 as was your style.

<Fancy> "See what you can obtain with your fashion instead of your fists, dahling?"

Several ladies gush over your dress, asking where you got it. You tell them it was done in-house by your family's tailor, their excited faces fall through the floor appear as they realize they won't be able to order some themselves. You preen a bit, feeling justified in your personal style. The combo of overwhelming floof and boyish charm was unorthodox, but from the oohs and aahs of the crowd, it'd gone down great. Besides, it also produced fun moments. From your fiancee lifting you up and giving you a twirl to spinning your petticoats and flipping off Lord Alteisen while concealing the gesture.

Really his remark about you being unfeminine was the only downside, and after you'd spent so much effort to up your femininity too!

<Sensible> "In my humble opinion, he can sit and spin! *burp*"

It made you want to spite him a bit by doubling down to prove just how feminine a noblewoman you were. You'd be so feminine he couldn't deny it even when you were kicking butt! For starters, you preferred wearing your hair long rather than up in a bun! Styling your hair to form your own braid was a spot of genius on the spot, but wearing it long from the get-go would let you work in pretty bows too. With you able to control your hair, letting it grow out even more would give it even longer reach.

And since really lacy gowns with full skirts were your thing, maybe you'd turn it up a notch to work in another petticoat and a bit more underwiring. Yeah! That'd show him! You'll make him choke on your femininity!

Fuming a bit, you decided it would be better to seek out a distraction so you don't kill your vibe further. Should you go find Chiaki or Bridgette? Justine almost seemed done talking to her noble ally, you could go tail her some more. You also saw Lily writing something down and you kinda wanna know what it is.
