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…

The Dam Breaks

The late afternoon was the perfect place for someone to spar in the mage's practice area. Most students had gone off to their apartments within the city or into the library of the mage's quarter to study the concepts they had learned and practiced during the day. 

Only the best of the best mages from Magia were allowed to practice and learn in the palace so they were all known to take their work very seriously.

This gave Quinn and Stephano the perfect opportunity to head outside and begin their spar. It had been quite a while since they approached one another in such a way so they both found themselves eager to see how the other had changed in their tactics–perhaps not changing at all was a possibility as well. 

The proposition of a spar was premature. The temperature was dropping and both Quinn and Stephano were prone to the cold if they weren't firing their mana.
