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…

Unlike the trip to Montville, Oues was much further away because it was the closest city in Montclair to the capital region of the Castillian Kingdom. The ducal party would travel for three days after leaving Baron Gerard and his people behind. They would camp for two nights while the last would be spent in an inn so the couple could get refreshed before facing the Martin family.

Marquis Herbert Martin presided over the eastern region of Montclair. For generations, the Martins took advantage of the fertile region and made a business out of the wines produced in this area.

Unlike Gerard, Herbert was known for his shallow nature. There were rumors of shady business practices but it was hidden well enough for King Stephano III to leave the merchant family alone. Without solid evidence, the King didn't have a leg to stand on. He ruled and made decisions based on evidence rather than feelings, which was how the previous king ran his business.
