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…

Irreversible Mistake

Eve would not come to her. 

No matter how much Leonor called, her familiar wouldn't appear. 

Logically it made sense. 

The cat was likely the reason Leonor wasn't in much worse shape. Their duty as familiars was to lend their mana in case of emergency. Considering they were made entirely of mana, they would disappear until their master became stable enough to expend mana. 

Unable to reason, at that moment, Leonor cried until the sun was in the sky. She held the locket in her hands and curled up in a ball next to the door of her room. 

A maid came to her first and she forbade her from entering. 

A short while later, it was Desmond who tried to see her but she said she was feeling unwell and didn't want to see anyone. 

When a shred of sanity returned to the girl, she dragged herself to the door and locked it. Hopefully, everyone took a hint and left her alone. 

She was panicking.
