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

The laughter echoed again, pulling me away from the empty courtyard. I followed it, the sound growing louder as I made my way towards the playground.

This was where we used to spend our recess, running around, playing games, and just being kids. It was a place of joy and innocence. But now, it seemed distorted, tainted by Demosnia's influence.

I found Milo there, running around the playground, his laughter filling the air. He was jumping over swings, climbing up the slide, his movements carefree and full of life.

"Milo!" I called out, my heart aching with hope and fear.

He turned around, his eyes sparkling with joy. "Saf!" he exclaimed, running towards me. "Come play with me! It's so cold, but running around keeps me warm!"

I couldn't help but laugh. "Come on, let's go home. It's a lot warmer than here."

"Home? Yay! I want hot choco!" he jumped off the slide and ran off.
