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.

"My apologies," Gunner responded, covering his mouth to hide another coming yawn.
"You brought me here to deal with this mess so late so you can't be tired now. Be quick to look over the supplies we are sending," Tobias said, handing a paper over to Gunner to be read. "How long will this war at the border go on for? We're sending too many of our supplies and nothing is being done about the war."
"I should kill the men in court-"
"You can't!" Gunner yelled, afraid he would have to hear more complaints about the king. "You already killed one and they are still looking for him."
"That was his fault," Tobias replied, not regretting the murder he committed. "He shouldn't have been snooping around."
