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

An ebony-skinned youth reclined by the pool, while a woman with eyes of molten gold, clad in jade-hued garments, offered him grapes. Her fingers, delicate as the petals of a blooming lotus, held the bunch aloft, the succulent orbs glistening in the sun's radiant glow.

The sun-kissed young man was my older brother, Marchioness Eiichiro. The beautiful woman was my future-in-law, Duchess Nefertari.

Nefertari's lips, painted a deep crimson, curved into a gentle smile as she offered the grapes to my brother.

Brother extended a hand, his fingers brushing against Nefertari's as he plucked a grape from the bunch. He popped it into his mouth, the sweet juice exploding on his tongue. He closed his eyes, savoring the taste, a content sigh escaping his lips.

I couldn't help but snicker. Eiichiro liked luxuries, but it was the simple stuff that made him smile.
