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…

Assumptions

After Leonor fell asleep, she slept like a stone. 

She had been holding onto a lot of tension in her body and didn't realize until it was released that it had depleted her energy. On top of the small amount of food she was able to eat and using her mana while dealing with heavy emotions, once she was able to sleep she was lost to the world. 

She felt that it was late when she woke up and her heart started racing the moment she realized where she was. Her hand went over her chest and her blue eyes darted around the room. 

Where is he? she wondered. 

Would he be upset that she made them leave late because she slept for such a long time? 

Based on the sunlight coming into the large arched window in the center of the wall, she imagined the weather had cleared up and it was good enough to travel.
