QueenFrieza

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…

My Disfigured Duke Husband Helps Me Plot My Revenge

The once warm winter became a bit colder.

Silence had taken over the duke and duchess. The only noise was fires crackling away in the fireplaces throughout the estate.

For two days after she confessed to Desmond what was in her heart, Leonor avoided him. She didn't know how to face his disappointment.

It was before dinner but everything was shrouded in darkness.

The sun set so much earlier behind the large mountain during that season. It suited Leonor's dark mood as guilt ate at her each second.

She went to the library to find a book to cheer her up. She couldn't look at romance any longer but perhaps an adventure would do her well. Maybe there was a story about magic since she hadn't been able to practice in a while. At most, she had been playing with Eve but not using her shields meant she was less precise than when she was studying.
