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.

Before the women parted with the men, Hazel had to speak with Eleanor. Eleanor was a beautiful young woman whose only fault was that her parents had a business in the red-light district. Though she was taken in by her aunt to get away from what her parents did, Eleanor was yet to succeed in finding a man to marry.
Hazel knew their peers liked to gossip, but they were getting ahead of themselves by thinking Eleanor could not get the attention of men around her. Men with status who could give Eleanor a good life.
Perhaps their peers kept trying to ruin Eleanor's confidence because they knew just how much attention she could get if she went after the men who were looking to wed. With Eleanor's new status as one of the queen's ladies, Eleanor had a good group of men who would want to court her.
For helping her, Hazel would help Eleanor to find a husband if she wanted.
