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…

The following day, Desmond insisted Leonor have a slow morning since he and his men were going to scope out Montville so they could make some more permanent decisions about the upcoming winter. He left her a carriage and a couple of guards if she and Beth wanted to wander into the town.

Regardless, they would reconvene after lunch and give the news they were there to deliver to Gerard. Leonor wanted to see how he would take the news after all. 

After a light breakfast of sweetened porridge and tea, Leonor slowly got ready with the help of Beth and emerged a new woman with a corseted waist and a beautiful canary golden color. It was the first time she had worn that dress and it felt suitable for what they would get up to that day. 

Not only was it fashionable but it was also incredibly warm. The high neck and thick sleeves made the breeze that whipped through the mountains feel less intense.
