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…

The thought of facing nobility at the tea house once more with everyone knowing who she was at that time felt unbelievably intimidating.

Not only was Leonor trying to impress the woman who had been instilling her with valuable information for the past two weeks, but she was also trying to present herself as a capable duchess.

The people's last memory of her was as someone who snapped at the red-headed woman for talking ill about Desmond.

She didn't realize it was her first act of presenting herself as a unified body with the duke. She then appeared at the festival, touching him affectionately and the groundwork was laid out.

Their marriage wouldn't be doubted but she couldn't be entirely sure about how she would be perceived as a duchess considering her age and lack of experience.
