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. 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…

Jealousy

Just like brothers, it wasn't the first time Desmond and Stephano got into a physical argument, but it was the first time it had to do with a woman. 

When the door was shut and it was only the king and duke, Stephano immediately became defensive enough that his familiar started to growl next to the door to his room. 

"Calm down, girl," Stephano said evenly, though he didn't break eye contact with Desmond. "It isn't as if he would be moronic enough to hurt the king of this nation." 

The certainty of Stephano's words caused Desmond to step back, immediately regretting what he had done.

Each moment longer the king and duchess took on their walk, the more his jealousy ate at him until he could no longer contain it. He slipped into Stephano's room, expecting to have a calm conversation with him, but hearing the two of them wish one another goodnight made Desmond snap.
