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.

"Have another," Edgar said, pushing a cup full of rum toward Tobias. "Is this what I am in for?" Edgar questioned, trying to drown out the sound of Hazel screaming in pain.
His wife Alessandra would give birth to their first child any day now so Edgar got a glimpse of his future.
Tobias took the cup from Edgar and drowned the rum. He needed something to keep him relaxed since they wouldn't allow him inside the room to see Hazel. He was told that he would get in the way or make Hazel stressed out.
Though he was the king and they should listen to him, the servants tending to Hazel refused to let him inside. Tobias gave up trying to push his way in so he wouldn't worry Hazel. She had enough to worry about now.
The rum was to keep him relaxed so he wouldn't change his mind and enter the room when he heard her screaming. What fool came up with the idea that a husband was not to be at his wife's side during this time?
