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.

Surprise (1)
A knock on the door woke Hazel from the deep sleep she fell into on the balcony. The book slipped from her hands, startling her even more as she forgot where she was momentarily.
Her dinner had arrived not long after the guard left and after eating, she fell asleep before she could get by the first page of the book.
"How was I that tired?" She mumbled, pressing her hands to her face.
Surprisingly, sleeping in the chair was comfortable thanks to the warm blanket. Hazel picked up the book to place it on the table and unwrapped the blanket so she could stand.
Thinking the person outside was a maid who came to collect what was left of her dinner, Hazel lifted the tray to take it inside so no one would have to see the flowers she was given.
