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.

When Renee received the letter late in the night that she was to come to the palace in the morning along with her husband, Renee thought something had happened to her daughters. She tossed and turned all night as she thought about what it could be. There were times she had to be talked out of coming to the palace ahead of time to see what was wrong.
Renee never thought she would hear of Helena having to exit the selection. The explanation was that the queen wanted to have only one daughter present, but Renee knew there was something more.
Why wait for Helena to enter the palace to then send her out of the selection? What had happened with her daughters?
"Listen to your mother and tell us from the beginning what happened. If I hear you speak ill of your sister again-"
