“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.

"Nervous?"
"No. Annoyed by constantly being asked how I feel. I am marrying the woman I chose from the selection. How else would I feel other than happy?" Tobias asked.
Jeffrey shrugged his shoulders as weddings were filled with many mixed emotions even when you were in love with the person. "I was nervous the day I was going to marry your mother and I loved her then. You start thinking about the future and what you're getting yourself into. It's normal if you are a bit nervous or anxious."
"I am not. I am thinking of the present before diving so far into the future. How could I have time to think about the future when I have to be looking around to make sure no one ruins the day for Hazel? Speaking of that, where is your wife?" Tobias asked as he had not seen his mother since her last visit.
