The Wild Rose Embraces the Frost Manga
野茨は霜を抱
Liberte, the late emperor’s beloved daughter, is cast out of the palace and sent north to marry the Grand Duke of Nord. Though many expected her to inherit the throne, her younger brother becomes emperor after their father’s death, under the influence of a scheming minister. On the journey, Liberte fends off attackers seeking her bridal dowry and reaches Nord safely. The northern region is known for rumors of endless wars against monsters and land frozen by dragons, but Nord proves different from the tales—and undeniably magical. There, Liberte meets Yulaha, the kind and sincere Grand Duke. He offers to delay the marriage if she does not wish to go through with it, but wary Liberte keeps her distance. As he treats her with steady respect, she faces a past she had long forgotten: she and Yulaha met as children.
