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.

When Tobias started to make his way to Grant, what he did not expect to see when he got close was Kenneth leading a large group of men that way. Tobias hadn't sent word to Kenneth yet so what had occurred for Kenneth to do this without telling him?
Tobias rode toward Kenneth who also rode his way so they could speak. Now was the time to learn if Kenneth was still on his side.
"You are not dressed for war," Kenneth noted. Why wasn't the king clad in armour to protect himself? What were the men around him doing by letting the king be this way?
"War wasn't on my plans today but it has come to this. Your father employed a maid to put something in Hazel's tea to stop her from becoming a child. You know his fate," said Tobias, paying close attention to Kenneth's reaction.
