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 49: Stress

*Kine*

I sighed as I stared at the television. The news showed parts of Taisho city in ruins. My sister's base had gotten destroyed along with two other locales, one being a hospital.

Kisara called me last night to brief me of what happened. It appeared that she would need to keep Saffron's squad around a little longer. Although, given the situation, I had doubts about the 'little' part.

I ran a hand through my hair and closed my eyes.

"Are you okay, sir?" asked the voice of a female officer.

I looked up to see a female soldier, who was slightly shorter than me, standing beside my desk, holding a stack of papers.

I rubbed my forehead. "Just a bit tired, that's all."

"That's understandable." Chalotte smiled, putting down the papers on my desk.

I gave her a weary look. "I assume these are for me to sign."

She smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Indeed."
