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.

Though Edgar disliked the people in town, he happened to like his home and was not going anywhere anytime soon.
Tobias rested back on his chair. "You're more boring than I realise. Why wouldn't you want to go on an adventure with me? We both have enough money to go somewhere far away to start over. We can find somewhere no one knows of us and we won't have any responsibility. I-"
"Alfred, escort the prince out," Edgar said, tired of hearing this dream Tobias had.
If Tobias did not want to be king, he should make it known to his parents. Let the responsibility be passed onto his uncle or a distant relative. There was nothing Edgar could do for Tobias right now and running away was not going to solve anything.
