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 40: On the Defensive

*Kisara*

After returning from Raiyama, I dropped off little Naotaro at my aunt's place like usual before heading to the base to meet up with Uneri and the Raiyaman mercenaries his father had hired to aid us.

"Bad news," Uneri said as I stepped into my office.

I crossed my arms over my chest and sighed. We really weren't short on bad news as of late, we were? I could hardly sleep last night because of the threat Eiichiro's supporter made. Thankfully, our trip back had gone well. Well, until now.

"Captain Saffron and the others already departed to the base," Uneri said, sighing.

"Captain Saffron went ahead of us?" I yelled, slamming my hands on the desk. "What is that guy thinking? Hmph, he probably wasn't, that's what!"

"Calm down, Major," Uneri said, reverting back to his professional self. "Captain Saffron is a smart man. I'm sure there's a reason he did what he did."
