Fight for what you want (1)

"Rather than focus on why I am here, we should turn our attention to our guest, Annalise Woods. It has been too long since we have sat with our neighbours at the border. So many people have been lost over land. I think it is time we try to fix what was done wrong in the past and try to live with each other. Putting our differences aside to live in peace," Hazel said, starting off the meeting.

As Hazel spoke, Tobias took his seat beside Hazel. He had been concerned about her travelling after the recent events in the palace, but since she was hellbent on being more involved in kingdom matters to make her crown feel worth something and take some responsibility off of him, he was not going to stop her. 

Annalise enjoyed seeing how the queen dismissed the men who did not want her to be present. How could they possibly think for one second of not having the queen here? Hazel shared equal power with Tobias in Annalise's eyes. More because of the hold Hazel had on Tobias.
