I enjoy historical fantasy with a touch of political intrigue and your tale captures both very well. The way Luchia patiently orchestrated the duke's downfall after years of humiliation and injustice is satisfying. That contrast between the duke's arrogance and Luchia's quiet composure! Real power is never loud. I have a soft spot for stories with strong female leads, so this was an enjoyable read. Beautifully written! Do take care and have a great day. 🌹
