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…

Love of Magic

While it would be best for Quinn to give a better show of his mana abilities while in front of students considering he was the left hand of the King, Leonor hated being fooled in such a way. 

Considering she hadn't properly sparred since Stephano left Montclair, she hadn't been as aware of her surroundings as she should have been.

Quinn certainly knew how to read her. Even if he was moping before, she should have known he was sharp enough to push it to the side. 

There was a massive difference between someone who lived their every second as a mage and someone who only used her mage abilities every so often. It was a wonder she wasn't worse off but her ability to have Eve awake and moving around even when she was asleep was what helped her still exercise her mana pool enough that it hadn't grown much smaller.
