QueenFrieza

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…

Even though it was the weekend, Leonor decided not to go back to Burien as she often did in the winter. The roads were dangerous and requesting a carriage was expensive - her father was sure to bring up this fact each time she came home. Yet he complained when she didn't return home enough, saying that she wasn't taking her role as heiress seriously.

There was truly no winning with such a man.

Deciding to hold onto her peace for a while longer, she blamed her staying there on studying even though she was waiting for Eve to return. Sending a message to Burien Manor was so much easier than having to go there and face her family herself.

It had been over 24 hours since the familiar left for the capital to find more information on the state of King Stephano III. He finally had a coronation and had started to rebuild his trusted council but movement was slow because many were wary of him. She knew that he was mistrustful of others as well.
