Rosemary was born into royalty, but unlike the princesses in fairy tales, she doesn't enjoy the perks that come with the title. In fact, she's looked down on by those around her for failing to live up to what her society expects of her as one born into the Kuroriku clan's main family, strength, durability, and vigor. Rosemary was born with a frail body and inadequate mana, not like the other members of her family who were all born with hardy bodies and vast potential.

The only ones around who seem to treat her nicely are her brother and his girlfriend, Artemia. Despite their moral support, Rose still desires to escape her unloving father and those around her who made her life a living hell. One day, the chance finally presents itself in the form of a tall, dark, and handsome upstart knight with a cold stare. Will she accept even though it might mean entering a loveless marriage. But, what if love were to bloom in the most unlikely of places? Or is that only a thing that happens in fairy tales?

Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

I got into bed and set my head down on my pillow once we got back from Momotaro. It wasn't a long trip, but I still found myself exhausted. Maybe it was because of my mana training prior to the trip.

Kine's words echoed in my head. Was my mana usage really that unusual? What could the reason for that be? Mom taught both brother and me. And Ore continued to teach me. Granted, he wasn't exactly the best teacher. He would go 'You gotta feel it in your gut and go wamoo!'.

I snickered just recalling it. Even now, I wasn't exactly sure what 'wamoo' meant.

I sighed. My health issues were the likeliest culprit. Thinking back to it, my way of using mana likely was how child me compensated for the lack of energy. But I couldn't let it get in my way all of the time. Pushing myself was not a great idea either. What was the right balance for me?
