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.

Questioning (1)
"I haven't seen or heard much from your mother these days. Is she ill?"
"No. My mother is often home taking care of it while we are away. There is much to do when you have an army of men not too far away from where you live and she is always travelling to see relatives. I will inform her to send a letter to you. She meant no harm," Linda answered.
Linda looked to Hazel who was quiet since she arrived only giving short responses when her name was brought up. Linda felt like she was stealing Hazel's time with Tabitha and if not for wanting to make sure Hazel was happy instead of being gloomy, she would have come up with an excuse to leave.
"So Hazel, how are the preparations for Helena's wedding going? I never thought she would be excited to move to the countryside but she has proven me wrong," said Linda.
