Suffer alone (2)

Hazel found this to be one of the strangest things the queen had ever said. Do not fall in love with the man she was going to marry. In what world did this make any sense? Why would she not fall for Tobias right now?

"Forgive me as I fail to understand why I would not fall for the man I am getting married to. I already have feelings for him and that is not going to stop any time soon," Hazel confessed.

It wasn't love, but she felt something for him. It was growing slowly with all their interactions during the selection. It was not to stop now as she was going to love her husband.

"Don't get so worked up just yet. I am speaking from experience and offering you some advice. I loved my husband from the very beginning and because of that, there were many times when I was frustrated when I could not see him. We marry the king alone, but they are somewhat married to the kingdom and the kingdom comes before us," Tabitha explained.
