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.

"You need to start being more involved in the court. They are the ones who will be targeting Hazel and from what I heard, some cases will need your attention. Those against you becoming king are banning together and since it is hard to reach you, they will go after Hazel," Kenneth said.
"I can give you some guards that are quite loyal to me and the royals to watch over Hazel, and if you would allow it, I would like to put some men that work with me to be in the court as spies. You need to pay careful attention to Hazel. Strange things are starting to happen in this town to young ladies," Kenneth said, taking a quick look around the room. "I do not trust Franklin."
Kenneth had watched them stop to speak to Franklin. He had also seen the man starting to come around his father. Kenneth was planning to speak to Grant about avoiding men like Franklin and whatever they wanted.
