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…

The Matches Begin

The following days of the festival went more smoothly than the first, in Leonor's opinion. She didn't drink herself silly or say anything to get her in trouble. She even secured a new coral beaded necklace with a beautiful gemstone at the center of it.

Desmond insisted she buy more, but she didn't want to be seen as someone taking advantage of her new husband's deep pockets. 

While she was looking forward to wearing her new necklace, she couldn't quite part with the locket even though it was far more shabby than something a duchess ought to wear. It comforted her to have hope as much as it felt ridiculous waiting for so long. 

The day after she drunkenly needed the duke's help, she panicked when she realized she hadn't healed the flower. However, seeing that it was intact when she opened the locket in private, she was relieved and instilled healing magic into the small bloom a few times throughout the day to make up for her mistake.
