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.

Julia travelled out of the palace after dinner to personally deliver what she thought was good news to Grant.
Grant poured himself a glass of wine as he listened to Julia. "The king can't be joining her so she must be going to see her family. Let another maid go with her as there is something I want you to do. What I gave you hasn't brought any good news so I am changing to something else."
"Unless. Unless you were lying to me about having her drink what I handed you? How am I not to believe that you have come to like the queen more and you've-"
"I did not! Sorry," Julia apologised, lowering her head because of the mistake.
It wasn't long before she was drenched by what Grant had in his glass.
