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…

Adjusting to Feelings

It was another place unfamiliar to Leonor but with one of their guards opening the door for them and her hand on Desmond's arm as he guided her forth, she felt fearless going into any situation. 

Since the dessert was mostly for Leonor and not Desmond, they ordered four different things to taste but all of them were her picks. However, the duke promised he would try a bite of each just because she didn't want to be the only one eating something. 

The last part of their day out was going out of the wall and to a lake nestled at the base of the mountain. It had a walking path around it and an old dock that went out onto the southern edge. Along the entirety of it were trees offering shade. Luckily the path itself wasn't hard to walk on so Leonor could do it easily despite the structured dress she wore. 

One of the guards set out a blanket for them to picnic on so they could eat dessert in total relaxation.
