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…

Begin Again

At that moment, Leonor realized his majesty not only put the idea in Duke Desmond's head but he would have also had to approve the marriage. After the king returned with the duke after the war, it was a clear sign of his support of him. 

The duchess had to resist running from the study and writing a letter to the king herself. She had a few words about how he could approve such a marriage. He was supposed to be her friend.

Was his plan to let her divorce if Valerio returned? Did he know more about Valerio's whereabouts than she did? After all, he went directly to the front lines and witnessed it all for himself.

Desmond's words only brought up another angle that still didn't add up in her head. 

"You want to get to know me, but you won't see me," she observed. "Now if you could excuse me." 

Her voice was unenthused.
