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.

"What I said years ago has not changed. I am not bringing someone into our marriage and you cannot do it."
Hazel laughed as it was funny to hear him mention her wanting a man. She was not allowed to have another man in her life. She wasn't granted that same privilege so should she ever be found with another man it would be quite the scandal.
It would be the perfect way to lose her crown but even then, she wouldn't be allowed to leave the palace.
"There is no other man I want in my life. You are already much to put up with," Hazel joked.
Hazel could laugh now but she would later be saddened by having to think that with no news to offer about a child, she would have to face Tobias picking a woman who might be able to provide an heir. And should that woman not have a child, he would need another.
