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.

"I'm sorry," Tobias apologised to Hazel.
Hazel looked away from the book she was reading to Tobias lying on her lap. "It is fine. You were yawning all through dinner so I knew that you would be tired when you came. You can sleep a little more. I want to read a little longer before I go to bed."
Tobias resisted the need to go to sleep. "Now is the time for us to talk, I mustn't sleep yet."
"That is kind of you but I see that you are tired and I prefer that you rest. We can speak early in the morning after you get some rest. I fear you might forget anything said now because you are tired. I was told you were in the court today," said Hazel.
"I was and it was annoying like always. To celebrate my reign, there might be a festival held. It was long overdue for the people of this town to celebrate. We must get the word out to other towns for anyone who wants to come to Lockwood to start preparing," Tobias replied, informing Hazel of court matters.
