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…

The King Wants Fun

"He's the only thing that can break your focus," Stephano observed as he stretched out his wrists. 

The king and duchess had been practicing magic with one another for a couple of weeks and Stephano realized a particular pattern. 

While Desmond didn't come every day considering he usually had work to attend to, the days he did come, Leonor's focus broke or Eve appeared. It showed the king she wasn't focusing her mana and made her far more impervious to attacks. 

Even though Leonor was an above-average mage, Stephano had royal mana and could overpower her instantly if he didn't have the control to notice the points when she was distracted. 

Considering the reason for her distractedness was standing on the wall of the outpost, Leonor's eyes widened at Stephano. 

"If you're kind enough you won't say anything further," she said under her breath. 

The magic she was most skilled in took a lot of bracing her core so she stretched out her back.
