When those who are supposed to protect her betray her in the vilest of ways, Leonor is forced to marry a Duke known for his cold nature and repulsive appearance. After a miserable childhood, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that her future was never truly in her hands in the first place. Duke Desmond de Montclair was nobody before the war. He garnered the King’s favor by doing the impossible in battle. Unfortunately, any achievement is eclipsed by his appearance and unbearable personality. In a kingdom that idolizes beauty, there is no room for someone like him. At first, Leonor finds life with the Duke to be what she’s used to - walking on eggshells and never speaking what’s truly in her heart. Eventually, things slowly start to change as the Duke learns about the horrors she faced while living with her family. His power becomes the key to her revenge. However, in a moment where she feels cornered, Leonor confesses to the Duke that she’s in love with someone else. The progress she has made with the Duke comes crashing down around her. Will her magic abilities be enough to convince the Duke not to throw her out? If she can make herself useful to him, perhaps she can gain his sympathy somehow…

Disowned for being a human, Vivian was taken in as a maid at the age of seven by the Carmichael household. Serving one of the most respected and elite pureblood families in Bonelake, there were rules. Rules that must be followed by all servants and maids. Like everyone else, Vivian was repeatedly reminded not to disobey the rules. But before she could learn to blend into the background like the other servants, the Duke's young son calls to her, “Bambi.” And all hell breaks loose. ----- "What? Never seen a bruise before?" Leonard scoffed at the girl. "Does it hurt?" Vivian asked, gently kneeling beside him and examining the several bruises covering his face. "Not that much." Remembering what her mother used to do when she got a bruise, Vivian brought her sleeve to her mouth and blew warm air on it before placing it on the boy's cheek, taking him by surprise. Leonard swatted her hand away, a hint of pink appearing on his cheeks embarrassed, "W-what are you doing?" "Mama told me this will make the pain go away," the girl held her hand close to her chest as she shared her past memory. "I’m not a child!” Leonard huffed at her. “I don’t think you’re a child,” she stared at him with a crystal-clear gaze. Taken aback, Leonard locked eyes with her for two seconds before shaking his head. “Don’t worry about it. They’ll heal in a day or two anyways," he reassured her before getting up and taking a seat at the table where his books were placed. "Odd girl," he muttered to himself as he pulled the top book from the stack and lost himself in it.

Año 1766. Desheredada por su propia familia por razones particulares, fue acogida por una criada a la edad de siete años para trabajar en la casa de los Carmichael. Los Carmichael eran una de las familias más respetables de sangre pura de Bonelake y, como en cualquier otra familia, tenían sus reglas. Reglas que debían ser seguidas por los sirvientes y criadas. Como a todos, se les enseñó a que no desobedeciera las reglas. Pero, antes de que aprendiera a caminar discretamente en las sombras como todos los demás, el hijo pequeño del duque la llama “Bambi” y todo se desencadena.

Tahun 1766 Tidak diakui oleh keluarganya karena alasan mereka sendiri, dia dibawa untuk bekerja di keluarga Carmichael pada umur tujuh tahun oleh seorang pelayan. Keluarga Carmichael adalah salah satu keluarga berdarah murni yang terhormat di Bonelake dan seperti keluarga yang lainnya, ada aturan-aturan dalam keluarga. Aturan-aturan yang harus dipatuhi oleh para pelayan dan pembantu. Seperti yang lainnya, dia diingatkan untuk tidak melanggar aturan-aturan tersebut. Namun, sebelum dia bisa berjalan di bawah bayang-bayang tanpa berbisik seperti yang lainnya, anak muda dari Bangsawan tinggi memanggilnya ‘Bambi’ dan semuanya menjadi kacau.

Verstoßen, weil sie ein Mensch war, wurde Vivian im Alter von sieben Jahren als Dienstmädchen im Haushalt der Carmichaels aufgenommen. Im Dienst einer der angesehensten und elitärsten reinblütigen Familien in Bonelake gab es Regeln. Regeln, die von allen Dienern und Dienstmädchen befolgt werden mussten. Wie alle anderen wurde auch Vivian wiederholt daran erinnert, die Regeln nicht zu missachten. Aber bevor sie lernen konnte, wie die anderen Diener im Hintergrund zu verschwinden, ruft der junge Sohn des Herzogs ihr zu, "Bambi." Und die Hölle bricht los. ----- "Was? Noch nie einen blauen Fleck gesehen?" Leonard spottete über das Mädchen. "Tut es weh?" fragte Vivian, kniete sich sanft neben ihn und untersuchte die mehreren blauen Flecken in seinem Gesicht. "Nicht so sehr." Vivian erinnerte sich daran, was ihre Mutter früher tat, wenn sie einen blauen Fleck hatte. Sie führte ihren Ärmel zum Mund und blies warme Luft darauf, bevor sie ihn überraschend auf die Wange des Jungen legte. Leonard schlug ihre Hand weg, während seine Wangen vor Verlegenheit leicht rosa wurden, "W-was machst du da?" "Mama hat mir gesagt, dass das die Schmerzen vertreibt," das Mädchen hielt ihre Hand an ihre Brust, während sie ihre Erinnerung teilte. "Ich bin kein Kind!" schnaubte Leonard sie an. "Ich halte dich nicht für ein Kind," sie starrte ihn mit kristallklarem Blick an. Überrascht traf Leonard ihren Blick für zwei Sekunden, bevor er den Kopf schüttelte. "Mach dir keine Sorgen. Sie werden sowieso in ein oder zwei Tagen verheilen," beruhigte er sie, bevor er aufstand und sich an den Tisch setzte, wo seine Bücher lagen. "Seltsames Mädchen," murmelte er vor sich hin, während er das oberste Buch vom Stapel nahm und sich darin verlor.

Deserdada por ser humana, Vivian foi acolhida como empregada doméstica aos sete anos pela família Carmichael. Servindo uma das famílias puras mais respeitadas e elitistas de Bonelake, havia regras. Regras que todos os criados e empregadas deviam seguir. Como todos os outros, Vivian foi lembrada repetidamente de não desobedecer as regras. Mas antes que pudesse aprender a se misturar aos outros criados, o jovem filho do Duque a chama, "Bambi." E então, todo o inferno se solta. ----- "O quê? Nunca viu uma machucadura antes?" Leonard zombou da garota. "Dói?" Vivian perguntou, ajoelhando-se gentilmente ao lado dele e examinando os vários hematomas que cobriam seu rosto. "Não tanto assim." Lembrando-se do que sua mãe costumava fazer quando ela se machucava, Vivian trouxe sua manga à boca e soprou ar quente nela antes de colocá-la na bochecha do menino, surpreendendo-o. Leonard afastou a mão dela, um toque de rosa aparecendo em suas bochechas envergonhado, "O-o que você está fazendo?" "Mamãe me disse que isso fará a dor passar," a garota segurou a mão perto do peito enquanto compartilhava sua memória passada. "Eu não sou uma criança!" Leonard bufou para ela. "Eu não acho que você seja uma criança," ela olhou para ele com um olhar cristalino. Surpreso, Leonard prendeu os olhos nos dela por dois segundos antes de balançar a cabeça. "Não se preocupe. Eles vão sarar em um ou dois dias de qualquer maneira," ele a tranquilizou antes de se levantar e se sentar à mesa onde seus livros estavam colocados. "Garota estranha," ele murmurou para si mesmo enquanto puxava o livro de cima da pilha e se perdia nele.
