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…

Mage in Plain Sight

Leonor was met with watery brown eyes staring up at her and the small boy's chin quivered as a quiet cry escaped his lips. 

"I've fallen and hurt my knee," he whined. "The others are too fast for me. I can't keep up with them."

The others he was referring to were the children at the edge of the circular town center playing with a leather ball that they kicked back and forth.

To the maid and Gideon's surprise, Leonor said, "Would that be alright if I lift you and take you back with the others? It isn't safe to sit down on a busy street. Someone much heavier than I am may trip over you next time." 

The boy seemed uncertain at first but nodded slowly.

Leonor found an issue with him trusting a stranger, but she decided it was a future issue she would bring up once the child was safe and where his parents likely left him.
