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.

"The two of you can relax in my presence. I won't eat you alive," Tabitha said, to get Hazel and Jasmine to not be so stiff. "The two of you did well today with dancing. Hazel, you looked like you could tutor young girls if you had to work, but Jasmine, there was a moment when you stumbled."
Jasmine blushed, embarrassed by the queen calling out her mistake. She was normally more perfect when it came to dancing. She had practised more before coming to the palace because her mother suspected this was something they would have to do.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure dancing with my son for the first time made you nervous. Once should be enough for you to get used to his presence and not stumble again. Your fathers have been coming into the palace more now that you are here and it has only been two days," said Tabitha.
