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.

Wedding day (3)
Renee reluctantly left the room with Helena. There was nothing she could do at the moment to stop Tabitha from being alone with Hazel as she still had to follow the queen's order in the palace. Her ears would be glued to the door for anything that sounded off.
Tabitha waited for the maid to join in exiting the room to then turn back to Hazel. "Why is there only one maid aiding you? It is an important day where you should have many people helping."
"They helped with putting on the dress and doing my hair. I didn't need them for the more simple task Mary could do. I am ready," said Hazel, peering down at the dress.
Why would she have the queen's followers around longer than she needed them?
Hazel was yet to shake the maids bestowed upon her months ago and only had Mary to trust. Just a few more days and then she would get rid of the maids she had now to put together a group of people she trusted.
