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.

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…

The Path Ahead

Stephano eyed Leonor for a moment after she asked such a question. 

Did Valerio die? 

The words rolled around in the king's head. 

He was dying to tell her the truth. It felt like she was asking permission to continue with the care that had formed for the duke. To the king, it was obvious that there was something between them. He hoped it was the truth. 

Yet he couldn't tell her Valerio died because he hadn't. Even if Desmond claimed that he had, it wasn't the truth. 

Stephano believed Desmond was the same person even if he changed. Changing was part of life. The king had changed the most out of anyone. 

At once he was a spoiled and prideful child but after he saw his mother die unfairly, he became someone willing to chop off his own father's head to take the throne. He changed and he wouldn't hide it from anyone.
