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.

Hazel exited the room, feeling better than she thought she would before she had entered. She didn't stay long since there wasn't much she wanted to say to Julia. Before she thought there would be a lot of questions she needed Julia to answer, but after entering the room and seeing Julia, she changed her mind.
"Did you get everything off your chest?" Tobias asked.
While Julia was restrained so she could not harm Hazel, he came around because it might take a toll on Hazel to be here.
"There isn't a lot that I said to her. I think it is best that I leave my last time seeing her to be this way. You weren't kidding about the hands. I think she is deserving of that as her punishment. Have her sent back to be somewhere alone in the dungeon. She has a lot of regretting to do," Hazel said, holding onto Tobias's arm so they could walk together.
