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 Intimidating Palace

Considering there were no plans to go to the capital together anytime soon, it had almost slipped Leonor's mind that Montclair had a house on the outskirts of the central capital towards the brick wall that surrounded the largest part of the township. 

As Desmond exchanged a few words with his men before he could get into the carriage and they could make their way to the heart of Coeurvalle, she realized that's where they would be staying.

While Desmond and Leonor went to the palace, his men and the maids would bring their things to the villa. For much of the day, they would ensure everything had been prepared for the ducal couple accordingly. 

While the house was never empty, it was full of staff that didn't attend to the couple day to day and there were likely a few things they needed to be instructed on so that the couple would be as comfortable as if they were home.
