A powerless woman’s worst nightmare is marrying someone against her will. 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.

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…

A Day as the Duchess

Instead of being able to address the problem head-on, Leonor fell asleep after a while of waiting. It was impossible to tell when the duke returned or what the verdict of his outing was. She was petrified of him knowing the true reason for her behavior that day.

Even though she convinced the others at the orphanage that she stumbled because she was feeling faint, she couldn't tell if they believed her or were taking her word for it because of the hefty title attached to her.

As much as she liked the maids around her who were nice because her husband paid them, those outside the estate's walls were a different story. She didn't want the average person to pacify her because of her title, but that would be her reality as long as she lived. While it wasn't specifically her choice to be a duchess, she knew what to expect. 

The next day, Leonor woke up and went on her day as usual.
