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.

"Should we end the dance with a kiss?" Tobias jokingly asked.
Hazel looked up at Tobias, hoping he could see from her expression alone that she was against it.
"You look like you want to kick me, Hazel. Do it here before my mother so I can be entertained. The selection is getting a little boring. The last group was full of drama, but then, you wouldn't know about that. My mother has kept it quite hushed from the town," said Tobias.
Nothing bad was to escape the palace walls. If it did, the person who allowed it was severely punished and the palace would then search for something to distract the town with. Secretly release some news about someone else in town to point fingers elsewhere.
"I am never going to kick you again. Again, I apologise for my actions. My mother wouldn't be pleased, and it was wrong of me," Hazel said, cringing at the memory of her kicking him.
Hazel lowered her head in shame.
