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…

"Progress will not happen overnight," King Stephano insisted from where he sat on his throne.

In front of the King stood Duke and Duchess de Montclair after one of the meetings with the knights from Eirenguard.

The terms Eirenguard asked for were well within the King's control and he didn't believe the couple needed to stay in the capital any longer. Their priority should be the duchy which had been without its leaders since autumn. It was now spring.

He also didn't want to push them into remembering that they had a few adjustments coming their way in the upcoming year. Most of their staff didn't know about them being with child.

It was better to focus on that than war talks in the capital. Eirenguard had calmed down due to what had been accomplished in the south. They were a lot more willing to bend now that their secret mana weapon was depleted and they were well-informed about how two Castillians had been vital in what helped take down the dragon.
