The King's Unbreakable Wife
“I cannot come to you with my problems when you have the weight of the kingdom on your shoulders. I would rather suffer in silence so I do not bother the king-” “Your husband,” Tobias corrected Hazel, placing his hands on her shoulders to comfort her as her eyes filled with tears. It pained him that he had not noticed how much the palace had been slowly breaking her. “I am your husband first. Do not hide your sadness from me,” he said, wiping away a single tear that slipped away with his thumb. … Hazel Wallace never thought she would make it far when she was picked to enter the selection for the next queen. In a surprise turn of events, she finds herself tangled up with the future king, Tobias Castro. Hazel once thought she would be strong enough to survive living in the palace walls. As queen and with Tobias by her side, she had nothing to fear. That was until the crown was placed on her head. Soon she realised the dangers in the palace and how not even the queen was safe from scheming men and women. Each day she spent in the palace, Hazel felt like a piece of her was slowly breaking away. Eventually, Hazel wanted nothing more than to run out of the palace, but after betrayals from people she thought she could trust, Hazel sought to become the person she was before entering the palace and get revenge on those who sought to take away her crown.

Decision (4)
Silence fell upon the room after Hazel shared her plans. She expected Tobias to be angry and say something right away out of anger, but he didn't. This made her even more concerned but she had to continue. Hazel had already convinced herself this was what she needed to do so she could not turn back now.
Picking a woman of her choice might be the best way to make this all work. "When we return I will select a woman to-"
"One month," Tobias spoke up. He needed a bit more time before agreeing to something like this. "Wait one more month to see if we can have a child and if we don't, I will let the selection start."
It pained Tobias to let these words leave his mouth. He never planned to take another woman to his side. The option of stepping down as king was better than putting his wife through that.
Unfortunately, Hazel had her mind made up and asking for a month was the only thing he could ask for to put this off a little longer.
