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…

Transformation

Leonor preferred to have a slow morning before seeing the nobles. That way, body and mind would be primed and proper to face their judgmental gazes.

Since they had been traveling all day, Leonor stopped the travel party an hour before they were set to arrive. 

At first, she lied that she had to use the bathroom but Beth quickly came to her lady's side and found the real reason for her stress. She was worried about how she looked after what was likely their longest day of travel. It was far enough not to need to camp somewhere but too far to expend supplies and not push through to their final destination. 

She didn´t prefer to be seen as high maintenance, but it was a risk she would have to take to feel she presented herself accurately to someone so close to Alma, her mentor.
