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 watched army soldiers moved around the marine newly rebuilt marine base.

My interaction with Gillard flashed in my head. Maybe he was right to be worried. This show of force was large. Although, the idea was that it had to be large in order to dissuade other countries thinking of attacking Kuroriku at this time.

Our country's forces still had recruitment issues caused by overstretching. We couldn't afford a war at this moment. My only hope was that there wouldn't be an attack from the west. As that's where most of these extra forces came from. Although, if we did end up getting attacked from that side, hopefully the desert and the tough terrain there could delay a land attack long enough for us to react.

Being between all three of the other Four Great Powers was both a curse and a blessing. More so the former. Our history of war with Taahid made it so that even our weaker neighbors hated us.
