Rosa Ruthard, daughter of Lord Ruthard, is one of the many characters whom Henry can romance in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. However, while some romances begin and end before players even realize it, the journey toward romancing Lady Rosa is a long one, spanning multiple main quests and a side task.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - How To Romance Characters
This romance guide for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will explain how romance works, and provide tips for Henry's love pursuits.
It is quite a while after first meeting Rosa that Henry will have the opportunity to make a move, and this will only be possible after making multiple correct decisions and fetching a book for her in previous quests. This guide will walk players through the steps on how to romance Rosa in KCD2.
Rosa is fiery, independent, and scholarly-minded. Bear this in mind when talking to her for the best reputation outcomes.
Meeting Rosa & Finding Her Book - Taking French Leave
After briefly meeting Rosa Ruthard during the Via Argentum quest at Ruthard Manor in Kuttenberg, Henry will be able to talk to her alone at the start of the Taking French Leave quest.
While asking her for directions on how to sneak into Maleshov castle, she will mention her favorite book, which she left behind. To have a chance at romancing Rosa, players must:
- Say "I'll bring the book, fear not."
If Henry has a high Scholarship level, he can first ask, "What is that book?" to further impress her, but it's not vital. Either way, this will unlock the side task, Rosa's Book.
Where To Find Rosa's Book In Maleshov Castle
After players have entered Maleshov castle as part of Taking French Leave, they can find Rosa's book in the main tower, where Hans Capon, the main objective, is also found.
- Once inside the tower, wait till the guards finish speaking with the lady.
- Then head upstairs and open the door on the left.
- Stealth behind Lady Ofka and knock her out.
-
The book,
A Book of Humourous Anecdotes, is found by the window.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - How To Romance Klara
Klara is one of the romanceable characters in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and here's how to win her affection.
Take The Book Back To Rosa
After picking up the red book, Henry will gain the objective to return the book to Rosa. After finishing Taking French Leave, go to Rosa at the Ruthard Palace as soon as possible.
Do not advance the main story before giving Rosa her book.
Before talking to her, however, read the book first for the best possible outcome. Also, try to arrive in nice clothes, perhaps with perfume to buff Henry's Charisma.
- Say that you read the book.
- At the skill check, choose which option your Henry is best at.
- Say, "I would like that" when Rosa asks you about writing a book.
- Accept her invitation to go upstairs and finish the book together.
When writing the book, choose the following options:
- A woman.
- She should be clever.
- Only fools say that.
- Good intent.
After finishing the book and reading it, the following dialogue options are best:
- If only there were more such books.
- It's pretty, really.
- I'd like to get to know you better sometime.
Having a high Scholarship level will always help when talking to Rosa, as she's intelligent and loves books.

If Henry fails the skill check and peace cannot be found, make sure to stick up for Rosa.

- I'll try to rescue Rosa.
- Yes, I'll do it.
Naturally, players will then have to go into the tower and save Rosa. This will involve fighting multiple enemies at once.
