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…

Unlikely Travelers

One would be able to hear a pin drop in the meeting room as Desmond made such a request to the King.

Normally he didn't bare his head for prying eyes and, as expected, the noblemen who were already on eggshells having to work with him stared at him in shock. As much as they tried to divert their eyes, Desmond already had categorized in his thoughts who looked at him and in which way. 

Stephano was the one most shocked by his determination. The only other person in the room to know the secret was Quinn but it was because he had to explain that to him when he told him about about Leonor and Desmond's history. 

For him to willingly reveal himself in front of the most influential nobles in the kingdom was honorable but it was risky. 

Knowing that it was a measure of a last ditch effort, he felt honored that Desmond would put himself at risk for it.
