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 Freedom of Privacy

A momentary childish feeling of giggling as she ran hand in hand with someone she had a crush on. 

Leonor never got to experience something so pure as a child but, as she sped through long hallways with the love of her life in tow, she felt that bubbling feeling. It only escaped in the form of light laughs.

Finally, they were free to roam through a place that wasn't someone else's. Even though it certainly wasn't theirs, there was more freedom knowing a noble wouldn't be around a curve or they had to keep up a proper facade that became exhausting after only a couple of hours of use. 

Leonor was proud of Desmond's behavior in front of well-trained nobles despite having grown up in much of the opposite environment. He must have worked hard to perfect his mannerisms and way of speaking in the time they were apart. It certainly had to do with his growing up but he worked hard to make himself a duke, nonetheless.
