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 Beginning

Leonor was in the capital for another week as winter started coming to an end. While there were still technically weeks left until spring arrived and blooms appeared, she was amazed at how mild it was in comparison to Montclair. The one winter she experienced there was hard to get used to. It made a lasting impression, however, and she based all other regions of Castille on the place she called home. 

She sighed as she looked around at the Queen's Palace. Rather, that palace was the place she was calling home.

Her work was done by receiving messenger hawks and sending Eve with responses. There was little oversight needed and Gideon maintained the estate to the best of his abilities. Since Montclair was practically dormant in the winter, her job was easy. She felt spoiled to benefit from the wealth but not have to do much for it.
