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 morning sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm golden light into the room. Saffron was already up, his movements quiet as he moved around the room, gathering his belongings. If I didn't open my eyes, I might not have known he was still in the room.

"Good morning," I murmured, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"Morning, Rose," he replied, his voice soft. "I thought I'd let you sleep in a bit."

I shook my head, pushing the covers aside and sitting up. "I want to see you off."

A faint, but tender, smile tugged at his lips. "Alright."

After we freshened up, we moved to the kitchen where Saffron insisted on preparing breakfast. He made us some scrambled eggs and toast, a simple but comforting meal.

We sat at the table, eating in silence. Every now and then, our eyes would meet across the table, an unspoken understanding passing between us.
