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.

The next queen (3)
Hazel and Linda exited the room and joined the other ladies walking with their maids toward the ballroom.
Leaving early to arrive at the ball, they would get the chance to speak with their families if they were to also arrive early. The queen had already permitted them to do so as the rule to not speak with relatives was now over.
Nothing could be done to change the outcome of today right now.
Hazel looked around as she walked, trying to find her mother or father. There was much she had to tell them about her time in the palace and she wanted to stop any worrying they had about how she was fairing here.
As they entered the ballroom, the other young ladies spotted their families and walked away from the group to greet them.
"Oh, my family is there. Do you want to join me while you wait for your family to arrive?" Linda asked as they could all stand together when the Wallace's came.
