Listen. I know it’s early on, but I’m already ready for a kiss. 😆 …I can be patient. Slowburns for the win! 🙌
As Duke Desmond stepped out of the carriage, Leonor's breath hitched in her throat. She couldn't even see his face from the shadow of his hood but she thought he had looked directly at her even after she had backed away from the window.

Green flags, you say…. 😏
Green and silver flags were seen first. Then soldiers on horses started the entourage. Two carriages were in the middle, one with the duke and the other ready to take the dowry she came with. Even though her father didn't care for her, it would reflect him more than her.

Dreams can come true, dear. 🧡
If someone like her was allowed to dream, she hoped that living with the Duke would be better than living with her father. She wished for a world where she knew comfort and security. She thought the academy was her way to achieve that, but it was taken away.

You’re so kind, Lin. I was thinking off a Cliff 🤣
"Even on your wedding day, you prove to be ungrateful," the Count scolded her. "You should be honored that a Duke even bothered looking in your direction in the first place."

"You haven't done much of anything if we're splitting hairs," Leonor said. "I recall being sent to the academy first because my mana established and yours never did."

Well. She’s so “fragile”… she has to distract from her other missing attributes. 🙄
The younger lady walked into a room wearing a dark red dress more adorned with lace and jewels than the bride's which went against Castillian wedding customs. Even more shocking, the tight bodice she wore revealed a great deal of her chest to the world. Leonor never understood how she was comfortable in revealing clothing such as that.

And what exactly does that mean?! Too fragile to work? Too fragile for responsibility? Too fragile emotionally? Too fragile intellectually? To fragile to for any physical relationship? …Sounds “too fragile” actually to be wanted (oops, did I not delete that and send it anyway why yes I did 👀)
"I promised to do whatever I saw fit," he spat. "Anna is far too fragile to be married if that's what you're implying."

Like his dreams ☺️
The streets were bustling and slow-moving, aggravating Trace's anxiety to be free of the crushing crowds of the metropolis. He yearned to be away from it all, by himself in the open, sprawling countryside of home.

Ah! Dearest author, allow me to share a tip that took me far too long to figure out… When using italics in WN, you have to be sure to italicize the following punctuation to avoid the random space that gets inserted. In this case, you would italicize the entirety of: secrets?” Or if there’s a comma, period, whatever… if it’s touching the italicized word, italicize it, too. Don’t worry, it doesn’t make the question mark or quotes look funny. It just eliminates the extra space.
"You… don't care?" Conlan tilted his head. "It makes no difference to you if everyone knows your secret?"

An actively searching eye, I hope 👀
He could at least keep an eye out for them on his way out of the city, couldn't he?

Harpy! 🤣
"You philandering toad!" The wife was screeching. Trace concentrated on this breakfast, trying to tune the woman out.

Hates to interfere, but clearly lacks restraint— Nobody asked you 😛
"I'm not sure you want them," Another customer butted in. "I hate to interfere, but I thought you ought to know I recognize their father's name. The executed and disgraced fake Count. The royal proclamation of his desertion and treachery is in the city square."

Wow… someone feels insecure in her relationship 👀
"My husband told me he hired two young girls to run the kitchen while I was sick. Come to find ye ain't little girls at all. Full grown is what ye are, and you don't belong here sniffin' around my man!" The woman declared before a nasty cough wracked her body.
