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…

Homecoming Parade

It was a holiday offered to all subjects of the Castillian Empire. No one was allowed to be penalized for skipping work on the day that the soldiers were set to arrive home. 

Thousands of people took carriages to Coeurvalle for a glimpse of who was returning home. Leonor and Quinn were two of those who hitched a ride in a wagon with 8 others. It was a cramped ride and Leonor ended up sitting on Quinn's knees at one point. 

The older mage wouldn't let Leonor go by herself. Her defensive magic was amazing but she was a young, unmarried daughter of a Count who likely had a lot of worth if she were to be kidnapped. He was unaware of how strained her relationship with the Count was.
