“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.

Jeffrey was to the front to greet Tobias and Nathan. He hugged Tobias and asked, "What trouble have you caused now?"
"Why does it have to be me? You pissed off a man by asking for his daughter to be tested. You should be glad we didn't find the doctor," said Tobias.
The doctor wasn't in his usual spot so they returned to the ball to watch over Hazel in case someone here would try to take her back out of the ballroom to get tested.
"No more games today," Jeffrey said as the proposal was more than enough. "Be on your best behaviour now so I don't try to kill you infront of these people.
"You can't kill-"
"I brought you into this world, Tobias. Don't test me on if I can be the one to take you out of it," Jeffrey quickly spoke and then let go of Tobias.
Tobias still wanted to see his father try. It had been a long time since they had a match against each other because they were both busy. His father was in for a surprise.
