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?

She smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Uneri. You've always been there for me, through thick and thin. I just... I had a lot on my mind."

I reached out and gently squeezed her hand. "You know you can tell me anything, right? We're partners, after all."

She nodded, her gaze fixed on the rippling water. "I know, and I appreciate that. It's just... I've been thinking about our job, about the challenges we've faced and those still to come. It's a lot to take in sometimes, you know?"
