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…

From Healer to Patient

The golden light of morning filtered through tall windows and made severe colors less bold. The dark wood covering Desmond's room became more inviting. Ancient swords and shields, his preferred decorations, reflected light that bounced off walls in all directions. 

Considering Desmond's room was on the opposite end of the estate from Leonor's, the slowly waking duchess realized it wasn't morning light filtering in, but the evening sun as it set over the large mountains that bordered her home.

A whole day. She had been asleep for nearly an entire day. 

Leonor came to, remembering the state she fell asleep in. What was supposed to be a quick nap became the full-fledged sleep of a woman who hadn't eaten and used all of her healing mana in one sitting. 

She thought of the reason her mana was so depleted and instantly sat up, surprised at how comfortable she felt despite sleeping on the floor.
