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?

Protective Instinct

Maximus handed Alexandra the plate of food and she accepted it with a smile. She's been smiling at him and eating as she must. She has recovered completely and is filled with mana. The commingling process won't do her any good and he's stopped doing that.

That, and her blank eyes.

He shouldn't be feeling this way, but whenever he looks at her eyes, he feels like he is staring inside the void. He doesn't even get the urge to touch her, much less kiss her. She is the woman he loves to bits and even when she was skeletal,  he had this immense urge to submerge himself inside her, but now, he just feels distant.

He could understand that she is sick and he cannot treat her like this. It would hurt her if she knows that he is avoiding her. He still loves her,  but he cannot help but feel the need to keep away from her; as if someone is stopping him, whispering to him. He swore he heard someone say 'Don't smile for her'. And oddly, he wanted to listen to this whisper.
