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…

Bump in the Road

Too much wine and sore feet turned into bath oils and nearly falling asleep in warm water. 

On their final night before going to Oues, they stopped in a nearby town called Villabois where they would use the inn to get themselves together to see Marquess Herbert and his family. 

A large room had been prepared for the duke and duchess. Just as they thought they could settle in for the day, the reeve found Desmond and his wife found Leonor. 

Rather than relaxing as expected, the two of them were separated and brought throughout the small town. 

The duke's purpose for being there truly was to inspect winterization and see what could be done if preparations were lacking, but he still became disappointed after being separated from Leonor. However, he wouldn't show it considering he was upholding his duties. Those were the responsibilities he was burdened with when he accepted the title to gain more power and be someone who could protect Leonor.
