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.

Dead maid (5)
"Poor girl got drunk and fell. What a terrible way to go but at least she escaped being punished for stealing."
"Watch your words around the dead," Mark warned the guard who had no regard for where he stood. "You are to keep anyone from keeping this way, not speak of how you think she died."
Mark shook his head as some of the guards were a headache and made him wish he had gone home instead of being in the palace so late. He came to see what kind of accident happened in the palace but was not expecting this.
"The king is here."
Mark stood up to greet Tobias. "King Tobias."
"Mark, it's a little late for you to be here unless you have been staying in the palace. I would like for it to be explained why my wife's maid is lying dead here. Why?" Tobias questioned, not wanting to believe it though the familiar face was there.
