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.

Dead maid (6)
"I don't believe that Lynn left me to go have a drink. It isn't like her. She was so eager to stay here so what would have made her drink something? I just can't bring myself to stop thinking that someone hurt her and I couldn't protect her," Hazel said, still filled with guilt.
After crying over Lynn's death, Hazel calmed down and rested her head on Tobias's lap. She was no longer tired enough to want to sleep as her mind was filled with thoughts about who would have hurt Lynn.
It was hard to come to terms with the fact that Lynn was dead. As Tobias said, he would not joke about something like this to her and it was best for her sanity that she did not go to see how Lynn was found. It might haunt her for the rest of her life.
"She's my maid but what has she done to anyone? What had I done to anyone for them to target her?" Hazel wondered.
