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 79: Under The Starlight (18+)

*Saffron*

I stared at the desert sky. The sun was beginning to set over the horizon. It would be night soon.

My eyes shifted to the desert dunes. Thus far, I'd seen no sign of the dragon. The desert winds helped bury any tracks it or they might've left behind.

I pressed my hands against the ground. A strange sensation tickled my palms. The nature of sand made my seismic sense fuzzy.

I sighed. There were many things I hated about this land. The sand was the worst part of it.

The flutter of wings drew my eyes skyward again.

Kisara waved. "Any success, Captain?"

I shook my head. "No."

"Same here."

"What about the others?"

She frowned. "Most of us haven't seen any signs of the dragon."

I looked down. "I see."

"Are you sure staying back was the right decision?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Right now, Taisho base needs to focus on reconstruction and ensuring the defense of the region."
