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 Overwhelming Day

Just as the marchioness told Leonor, they were off to the town center where an apothecary boasted a large building in a prime location making it a great place for noble ladies to go to whenever they needed something to do. 

There were already a few ladies inside when Leonor and Letizia walked through the door. Being the highest woman in Oues, many acknowledged Letizia. 

 The marchioness took the opportunity to place a hand on the duchess' arm. 

"Duchess Leonor de montclair," Letizia announced. "Please welcome her with open arms. They're going to have a wonderful time enhancing this beautiful head of hair." 

Many were shocked which was quickly wiped away by politeness and quiet greetings so they wouldn't seem overly eager to get to know the duchess. It could easily be seen as conniving or social climbing if they went out of their ways to make their presences known to her.
