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…

An Attempt at Casual Conversation

The moment Leonor and Quinn were out of the throne room and elsewhere, Stephano's face hardened when it was only him, the duke, and a few guards left. His mood to joke was fleeting. 

"Shall we go into my study?" King Stephano asked although he wasn't really asking. His tone and expression communicated as much. "I would feel more at ease in a smaller space." 

Desmond nodded. 

"Of course, Your Majesty," Desmond said. 

As they went down a long hallway boasting fine art and pristinely taken care of space, crystal windows, lit-up chandeliers, and intricate rugs, it would seem that King Stephano was flexing the wealth of the Royal Family. 

However, Desmond knew that wasn't the case. After living in the palace for months, he knew that every inch of the space was well taken care of. There was staff for every task that needed to be done and help was constantly around the corner.
