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…

Offer of a Lifetime

It was fortunate for Leonor that Quinn wasn't an early riser. 

Even though he excused himself early the night before, he likely stayed up well into the evening. His night owl tendencies made him often miss breakfast. 

Leonor ate breakfast and then sipped tea for quite a while before the silver-haired mage made his presence known in the dining hall where the maid directed him to go. 

As always, he wore light brown robes that revealed nothing of the money he amassed as a professor in the Academy or working directly under King Stephano. He was true to his mage roots through and through. 

"Good morning, Quinn," Leonor greeted her friend. "Would you like me to fetch you something to eat?" 

There was already a spot for tea placed out for a second party, so he decided to sit across from Leonor.

"Tea will be enough," he said. "I would rather get on with what I came here for. Did you have time to read the letter from His Majesty?"
