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…

Desmond felt guilty that he was relying on Leonor so much to take his stress away.

When he wasn't focused on the strenuous task of convincing all the highest ranked in Castille that they shouldn't blindly murder the rest of the Eirenguardians, he was thinking of her.

She felt like the only highlight of his day as he listened to people callously talk about people who shared the same blood as him being worthy of murder if they made the first blow. As if their responses to the brutality of their people weren't a fair result of Castille's war crimes.

He could tell King Stephano knew exactly how he was feeling and the monarch tried to be objective despite it being uncharacteristic that the King of Castille cared about the lives of those from an entirely different kingdom and certainly not loyal to him.
