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 continued dragging Sissy away from the scene. I had finally stood up for myself, for both of us, I wasn't about to go back to that world.

"We can't help her, Sissy," I said, my voice devoid of emotion. "She never cared about us. We have to take care of ourselves now."

Sissy's eyes welled up with tears as she looked back at our motionless mother. "But... she's our mom. We can't just leave her like that!"

I stopped in my tracks, my grip on Sissy's hand tightening. "She never acted like a mother to us, Sissy. She hurt us, abused us. That woman only saw us as pawns to keep our drunkard father around, and when that no longer worked, she used us to steal stuff. We deserve better than this."

Sissy's tears fell freely now, her small frame trembling with a mix of fear and confusion. "But... what do we do now, Gil? Where do we go?"
