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 80: Afterglow

*Saffron*

I opened my eyes. The hot desert sun hit my naked body. I raised my hand to block it as I sat up. Where was I? This was not the ruins.

My eyes widened. I formed holes in the stone walls and looked around. There was no sign of the dragon. No signs of the ruins either. Just sand in all directions.

I rubbed my head and recalled Rose. Had she been real? I couldn't have slept with a mirage, right? My face heated up as I remembered her lustful eyes. She felt warm, but her sudden appearance made it hard to tell if she was real or not.

I sighed and began to put on my clothes. Regardless if she was real or not, I had allowed my passions to reign over me again. To think I could feel like that toward someone. Back when we were younger, Milo and Uncle Kaji used to joke about me being asexual. Gael likewise would tease me about it. Calling me stuff like 'hermit' and 'monk'.
