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.

Saving friendships (1)
Far away from where Grant was killed, a friendship was hanging by a single thread. Hazel was still unaware of what came after Tobias and Edgar turned their armies to go to Grant. She only learned of Grant's involvement and then the updates stopped coming.
What was Tobias thinking right now? Was he coming to see her?
Hazel also thought about all the Hensons. Who could they trust right now? What if there were to be a war as Kenneth joined his father?
Hazel was not the only one worried as Linda who arrived at the estate was worried about whether Hazel would want to speak to her.
Linda truly did not know of her grandfather's plans and only now understood the tension among her family. She would never hurt Hazel or want to take her spot as queen. From day one, she had been happy for Hazel and on the topic of children, she had spent many days crying with Hazel and going to the church to ask for a miracle for her friend.
