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 318: Deadly Cocktail

Roxanne

[Earlier]

I slashed at Cyra, but her tails caught my blades.

She snorted. "Your fighting skills suck. I've seen better swordsmanship from Orlin than you."

Orlin? But I'd heard he was a good swordsman from Artemia. Did she just like jabbing at the royal family? Both verbally and literally.

Cyra's mocking tone clearly attempted to provoke me, to throw me off balance not just in combat but emotionally as well. Her reference to Orlin, known for his swordsmanship, was a calculated insult. But I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of ruffling me up.

"Talk is cheap, Cyra," I shot back, regaining my composure. "Let's see if you can back it up."

I yanked my sword back, freeing it from the iron grip of her tails, and adjusted my grip on their hilts, ready for her next move.
