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…

Breakfast

Leonor woke up the next morning feeling invigorated, knowing she could exercise her mana properly for the first time in a year. 

The early spring was cool and she got into riding clothing. 

The last time she had worn pants was the few irresponsible times she practiced mana in her father's lands and depleted herself completely. She would stay out practicing so her father wouldn't bother her. She knew it wasn't good to tire herself out but it was the only way to feel freedom again.

That is, until she was married off to the duke. She thought she wouldn't be afforded freedom, but that wasn't the case.

Not knowing what occurred the night before, once Leonor was ready with her hair braided back for the day, she walked down the hallway, wondering if she should bother Stephano. She decided against it, deciding he probably pushed himself too hard by riding after an entire week of travel.
