Survive As The Brute's Wife

**COMPLETED**"I am not worthless. I deserve to live. I will survive!" In a world where women are treated as mere ornaments and pawns, she woke up in the body of an abused Lady, with no memory of who she is. In a land that forbids magic, she finds out that she is someone with magical powers. The kind that is a threat to the Brute Emperor who is conquering all lands. And as her memory returns, she figures out that she is the once-great knight who suffered Damnatio memoriae after betraying the King she swore an oath to serve. A woman as a Knight? Ah, she had to pretend to be a man to be a Knight! Why did she go that far to be a Knight? She didn't remember. And why did she betray her king? She didn’t remember. And now, the one she shares the body with- Lady Felixa got married(?) to the direct descendant of the King she betrayed. Refusing him is not an option. She learns that the story of the Knight who betrayed the King had versions. In one version, the Knight was the Hero. There are still people who believe that the Hero will be born again to save them from the Brute. If she is the Knight, is she the Hero people are waiting for? But wouldn't that put her in odds with the Brute who is now her husband? Along with the magical power she has, she has to hide her identity as the fallen Knight from her husband – The Brute, while trying to act as the submissive Lady Felixa whose body she is occupying. To survive! But why is the Brute looking at her weirdly? He even acts weird making her feel weird. And what’s with him showering her with gifts one day and trying to get her practice swordsmanship with him the other? What secret does he hold? And who is this other Knight from her memory?

Giving What They Want

Alexandra turned and walked inside as she didn't want to watch Maximus' back anymore. He followed her pretty much immediately.

"You should get used to this, Lexa. Soon it's going to be you-" he touched her cheek with the back of his hand and she slapped his hand away.

"I do not want this, Max… You are not doing this for me!" she said. 

She couldn't understand how he could not listen to her words when she is making it obvious. She is using simple words and she is sure he is hearing her. 

Yeah, he is hearing but not listening.

"I can see you're hurt to be here, Lexa. But this is necessary. We can find what we lost only where we lost it. So-" he paused as he heard footsteps approaching.

Alexandra stared at him, not understanding what he is saying. She did understand his words. But what does he mean by 'what we lost'? 

[We lost our time together. We lost our love. Don't we have it now? What more should we find?]
