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…

"Mages fighting a war that's simply… unheard of." 

"Unorthodox and certainly against the teachings of the church–"

"Please mind the words you say in front of two of the highest ranked mages in Castille," Stephano interrupted, being the one who would have to put his foot down. "And this doesn't include me, my lord. Are you implying that the very mage blood that runs through my veins is in any way against the church?" 

That was enough to shut the old man up for a few moments. He was, without a doubt, a supporter of the former King and would never say anything against at least him. 

The noblemen and the King's most trusted court of advisors were immediately disagreeable about fighting with mages. They were old and traditional and were never for anything that wasn't as it always was.
