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…

His Duty

Desmond and King Stephano were the last to leave the meeting room, but after a long silence, Desmond decided to get out of there. 

Since the sun had fully set by that point, he knew he was simply prolonging the inevitable. He needed to figure out how to fit sleeping, preparing for the journey that would happen the next day, and spending as much time as he possibly could with Leonor. 

He didn't know how he was going to break the news to her in the first place.

They were enjoying their newly wed life thoroughly. It felt like nothing could come between them. Yet he knew that, at the back of his head, there was constantly a worry burning about being permanently separated from her if he truly did have to return to Eirenguard. 

The moment he saw her with a red eye, she was going to know that something drastic had happened.
