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…

Unexpected Visitor

An inexperienced mage like Leonor was unaware that constantly depleting her mana was equally bad as allowing a deep cut to bleed without trying to stop it. 

When she woke up the next morning, something heavy fell onto her chest and someone was yelling at her. Her eyes felt blurry and it felt like she was submerged in water. 

After a few blinks, the sunlight filtering into the room through sheer curtains entered her eyes, and she realized it was daytime. It was not only daytime, but it had to have been in the afternoon based on where the sun was in the sky. 

Francia was standing over her with a worried expression on her face. The Count was next to her.

"You missed your tutor this morning!" the Count snapped. "But you'll be useful in other ways. It seems the Royal Family has decided to summer in Burien for a bit longer. Get into something presentable. Don't make your father look poor for the Crown Prince."
