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

"Anis?" I said, staring back at the girl.

Reginald snickered. "Yes, a child who looks like her father but who inherited her mother's powers. Although, one could also say she resembles her maternal grandfather."

I glanced at him. "Her mother?" My eyes widened. "You mean this girl is Rose's daughter?"

He nodded. "Although, her existence is like the flicker of a flame. It can be puffed out at any moment."

I recalled some of the conversations I had with him when I was a kid. "You said there are multiple paths in life, yes?"

He nodded. "Oh, good. You remember. Indeed. There are some possible futures where this child lives a life as short as a firefly."

To think that Rose would have a kid. Although, that didn't mean she was pregnant right now. Her health wasn't the best, so having a kid would be tough on her.

I looked up and noticed him smiling.
