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.

Tobias smiled, enjoying Hazel's compliments. He didn't fully believe that it was all that she wanted to say. She had to be nice while the queen was seated before her. "Mother, as fun as this is to sit before you, I think that it is time you leave us for me to speak with Hazel. The days are going by quickly and it is hard for me to speak with her when you are present."
Tabitha thought differently to Tobias."You're spending so much time with Hazel that we can only think she will be the future queen. It seems your mind is already made up. I know that you need time alone, but I think you've had enough time."
"I won't keep the two of you long. Just know that an hour from now another young woman will come to sit here with you. And another," Tabitha said, informing him of this being the next event.
"I thought they were to go around exploring the palace and be tested? Tobias asked. Why did this other task have to be thrown in for the day?
