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.

The more women Tobias heard were going missing, the more he felt like a failure. "Under my father's ruling, this would have never gone on for so long, but I don't have any proper leads. I am failing. This will only give those opposing me something to say to turn the people against me.'
Hazel walked to the chair Tobias sat on with his head resting on the palm of his hands. She had watched how he tired himself trying to find out what happened to the women.
Tobias had to solve this and still deal with plenty of other problems in the kingdom. They were still close to going to war at the border and to end it before it could get worse, they had to send Rafael to help.
Tobias was tiring himself out, putting the kingdom's well-being before his own. Some days she rarely got to see him because he was trying to come up with ways to keep everyone safe though it was impossible. She could not have him think that he was a failure.
