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…

What the King Wants

Ever since Leonor could take care of herself as a mage, she hated when people pitied her. 

A few times when she was betrothed to Desmond, she witnessed people's pity when they thought she was marrying a monster. Another time was when she was first Desmond's bride and everyone in the church followed her with eyes full of emotion. 

She hated it then and she hated it in that moment when everyone in the King's Study around her was eyeing her with forlorn looks. 

The way she responded to her family was one thing she could not hide. They sent a stake into her that was so hard to remove. A minor interaction would stay with her for ages after. 

She felt powerless when it came to von Burien.
