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…

Her Worries

"Why would you say no?" Desmond asked.

He was the first to speak up at Leonor's words. 

His tone was confused, but he was trying to be supportive. The way she lit up whenever magic was merely mentioned made him believe what King Stephano was organizing would be a dream for her. 

Since it would likely not happen immediately, he thought she would be able to get a better handle on her duties to Montclair before being able to pursue this endeavor. He couldn't think of a downside at that moment. 

Quinn spoke up shortly after Desmond, feeling he knew of Leonor's life with magic better than anyone. 

"As one of the top mages of your graduating class, it would be a waste of your talents to remain stagnant and never put them to good use," the silver-haired mage explained. "Your abilities will lose their strength and your mana pool will decrease if it goes unused. The strength of your mana is what makes you an adept defensive magic user."
