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.

Unwarranted jealousy (3)
'What is with these two?' Hazel wondered.
The day wasn't going as she planned and it was starting to bother her even more. It was odd that it seemed there was a bit of animosity coming from Linda when she was normally more welcoming unless she knew the person to be someone they shouldn't have around.
Hazel looked to the duchess who didn't look like she could hurt a fly. Alessandra seemed like she was shy but after a bit of talking, they would get to see a whole new side to her. There was something wrong with Linda these days and Hazel had to get to the bottom of it.
Once again when Hazel offered Alessandra a drink, Linda commented once more that she should let Alessandra pick what she wanted herself.
Hazel frowned as not only was Linda ruining the mood, but she had noticed how uncomfortable Alessandra was. She promised to take care of Alessandra with Edgar away so she couldn't let Linda continue as she was now.
