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…

Feeling Nostalgic

The breezeway surrounded by gardens was undoubtedly beautiful, but Leonor wanted to get inside as quickly as possible. Quinn was about as warm as she was and getting closer to him was like cuddling up to a brick wall in winter. The only time he was warm was when he was using his offensive magic 

As they opened the door that led to the mage area, Leonor was practically slapped in the face with warmth and she heaved a sigh of relief. 

"It's just as warm as the buildings in Magia," she said. "How I miss buildings being heated with magic rather than fire." 

Considering all of the interesting magical devices and experiments that went on at the Magic Academy, there were technologies only seen in that region of the entire globe. There were conveniences everywhere as well as occasional mishaps that made things a bit harder.
