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…

Hiding an Escapee

Leonor and Desmond's responses happened simultaneously. 

The duchess gasped and covered her mouth with her hands while Desmond uttered a "what the hell…" that surprised Leonor enough for her to glance at him despite her shock. 

"What on Earth are you doing here, your majesty?" Leonor asked in disbelief. 

She grabbed her skirts so they wouldn't be caught under her feet and walked forward urgently. When she was one step above him, she properly curtsied for him. Desmond quickly followed his wife down the stairs to the unruly monarch but gave a slight bow. 

The duke was less than pleased with the king's response to his wife. 

"Don't act as if we didn't trade letters for years on end, Leonor," he said, dropping all pretenses that he might use her title or act unfamiliar with her. 

The last time they saw one another was when he showed her around Magia. Then he said he wouldn't see her again for a long time.
