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…

Take Her Mind Off of It

Leonor had enjoyed their long break from travel, but by the time they left, she was more than ready to get back on the trail. 

With blankets around her, windows covered with curtains, and hot stones underneath the seat to keep her and the duke warm, she was back to silently observing the processes around her and accepting the path that she had no control over. 

The years at the academy and the beginning of her marriage, she was entirely resistant to having others choose her path or control her travel, but now that she was settled in her relationship, she found it easy to go with the flow. She trusted Desmond to lead her to safety no matter what. It was such a relief to not be on guard all the time. 

They started traveling early because the trail ahead was easy but it was long. They wouldn't reach Villalac until very late in the evening.
