Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

Right now, I am going to the Emperor's birthday with my clan.

I'm sure, all the powerful individuals will be present there.

Maybe I can find the person I'm looking for there and end this misery of mine.

Half the time is already over and I couldn't even find this person.

In the remaining five years, On top of finding them, I have to somehow even make them help me.

What if they don't believe me? Or if they refuse to believe me?

I don't want to die just at the age of 25.

While I was thinking this, I heard a voice from behind.

"What are you doing here? I was looking all over the ship for you."

It was a female voice that was mature and calm. It even contained some traces of pride and arrogance.

I recognized her voice and turned to answer: "What do you need me for, Your Highness?"

I was respectful, lifting my blue silk gown as I greeted her.

She simply nodded and spoke with her nose high: "When we reach the location for the emperor's birthday, I want you to accompany me by walking to my side."

I, not having the courage to refuse, nodded in agreement and spoke: "It'll be my pleasure, Royal Highness"

"Good." Satisfied by my answer, she informed: "When we are about to reach the location, come and find me. Don't be late!"

"Of course, Your Royal Highness," I spoke, forcing a smile on my face.

As she left, I let out a sigh of relief.

That was the Third princess of the Empire, Fang Ruoyan.

She wants to demonstrate her influence and power by making the princess of the Xue clan walk beside her like a maid.

It doesn't matter since she had been chosen by the clan to be supported in the fight for succession.

If she looks good in front of everyone, that will only benefit the clan.

It was previously a matter of conflict about who our clan would choose to support, but seeing her experience and talent, she was selected as the right candidate, removing the fifth prince from the fight.

Though he is talented, he was born much later and she was way ahead of him.

The fifth prince, indignant by this decision of the clan, decided to go into seclusion, focusing on cultivation instead of attending the emperor's birthday.

He didn't want to witness the announcement about how the third princess was chosen instead of himself.

It would just make him embarrassed and looked down upon.

He could contend for the succession even without the clan, but, then he'd have to make his own faction and attract powers who are willing to side with him.

Right now, the best option for him is to increase his cultivation and show his talent in front of the clan, that he can catch up and surpass the third princess in the future.

Maybe then the clan will change its decision, however, for this event, the third princess was the main star.

She is just so arrogant! I complained unhappily.

I didn't want to act as a stepping stone for her to shine.

I understand why you are doing this...

You just want to show that one of the ten beauties of the capital is only able to act as your maid.

I was a bit indignant about her attitude.

Just because I am beautiful and am part of the ten beauties of the capital, she wants to use my fame to increase hers.

In the Ten Beauties, the princesses of the empire were not included since ranking their beauty was a crime, however, that didn't stop people from spreading rumors that I was more than her.

I don't know where she heard it from, but since then, she has been bullying me like this as if trying to show that she was above me.

Well, I can understand her jealousy since I'm the top beauty even among the ten beauties,

Though I was humble, it was a fact that my beauty had been otherworldly since birth.

It wasn't like the third princess was less beautiful, but once a doubt takes place in someone's mind, who can convince them?

Soon, the ship began to descend and I understood that the location of the event was close.

I rushed to be at the princess' side.

I didn't want to give her a reason to scold me.

I was just 20 and she was 181 years old.

See the difference, how can I stand a chance against her?

The ship kept on descending and I ultimately found the princess standing on the front platform that was supposed to take them to the ground.

I ran to her side and she simply noticed me and nodded in satisfaction.

Slowly, the cheering and murmurs of the crowd began reaching the ship, becoming louder as the ship descended further.

After it was just a few meters above ground, the ship stopped descending.

The platform on which the princess and I were standing along with the other members of the clan began to float in the air.

The platform slowly flew away from the ship and slowly landed on the ground, allowing everyone to move out.

My grandmother, the ice-empress, flew in the sky along with the elders of our clan as they went and entered the gallery, bearing our clan's flag.

Since I was just at the Body transformation realm, I couldn't even fly.

The third princess was a king realm cultivator and she could fly to accompany the grandmother, however, she decided to enter through the entrance on foot to showcase herself in front of everyone gathered.

Innumerable people from all over the empire were gathered in this once-in-a-century event.

Once they return, they will spread the news about her influence and elegance all over the empire, giving a boost to her in the eyes of the public.

Also, it would give the other sects and various powers to get a look at her.

She wanted to familiarize herself.

I simply walked beside her, following her lead without any complaints.

However, I couldn't help but hear the murmurs of discussion among the crowd.

"Hey, isn't that lady Xue Nanxi, the princess of the Xue clan?"

"Why is she walking beside the third princess?"

"Has the Xue clan already chosen the third princess to support?"

"Yeah, that must be the case since I don't see the fifth prince"

"But aren't the two of them heavenly? I didn't expect them to be so beautiful"

"True, they both are top beauties of the empire."
