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…

Mana Test

It wasn't always as easy as being the first to find her familiar. 

Leonor found herself at the top, yet at other times she struggled to keep up. Her time at the Academy was never linear but she loved it all the same. 

The psychological aspect of magic was something she hadn't considered. Getting over her second-guessing, paranoid nature was harder than she ever thought was possible. At times, it was as if she hadn't left her father's manor. The way she timidly approached things with a weary heart would make someone think the abusive man was looming over her shoulder constantly.

There were times she couldn't access her mana because she was overthinking, but she was learning to trust herself. One of her advisors who knew her family history framed it as trusting her mother's instinct that she instilled within her. It made it a lot easier for Leonor when she thought of her mom speaking with her through mana.
