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…

Urgency

The King's familiar, Alara, floated into the sky with her large talons clutching a letter addressed to Desmond Carthach. Her red feathers glistened each time the sun peeked through one of the thick clouds threatening a late winter rainstorm over Coeurvalle.

Stephano sat at his desk just after Leonor left for Burien County with a smug expression on his face. If she thought that he would simply stand idly by while she visited her abusive father, she shouldn't have befriended him in the first place. Now that she was in his web, he was going to use his power for his friends. He didn't care if he was imposing.

It was the only thing he could do at that moment considering the standstill of the possible war. He was feeling restless and Leonor gave him an opportunity to stir things up.
