My Disfigured Duke Husband Helps Me Plot My Revenge

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…

Despite the uncomfortable situation Stephano and Quinn found themselves in after they departed from one another the day before, Stephano still had business to attend to and required a word with his mage. 

While Quinn wasn't necessary in the meetings about Eirenguard quite yet, his purpose would soon present itself. 

Stephano wore a garnet-colored, fur-lined cloak over his usual black clothing adorned with gold buttons and edging that were befitting of the King. Even though he preferred dark colors, his helpers did the best they could to brighten his image with adornments and layers that were a bit lighter. 

However, they couldn't change the generally irritated expression on his face. That was what kept most people hesitant around him. Even those who wanted to kiss up to him did so hesitantly. 

People cleared paths for him no matter where he went.
