Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

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?

Chapter 333: Crimson Wings

Saffron

[Earlier, in Taisho]

I got up first thing in the morning and showered. As I walked out of the bathroom of the inn I was staying at, my eyes went to the cell phone. Rohan had lent it to me. Thought I could use it more than he could.

Rose popped into my head, but she might've still been sleeping. Or maybe she was busy helping Ma make bread. It was best not to distract her.

Grabbing the clothes I had prepared for myself from the bed, I quickly got dressed.

I checked the time; it was still early, but it was best to get started now. Not like I could sleep. I decided to give Rose a call later, once her day had started. For now, I had a mission to focus on.

I grabbed my jacket and slipped the experimental new cellphone inside. The weight of the fabric felt familiar and comforting, a reminder of the duty that lay ahead. I made my way downstairs, greeted by the quiet hum of the inn as it slowly woke up.
