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.

"What am I to do now?" Hazel wondered then placed the last grape in her mouth.
She had eaten what was left in the basket from their earlier picnic and drank all the juice. It wasn't that she was hungry or thirsty, but she was bored and in need of something to do. After putting down the book, she started to pick at the food and ended up eating it all before she realised.
It was over three hours since Tobias left her alone and each passing minute went by slower than normal.
Hazel sat by a window, watching the guards walk by in the distance or the stable boys lead the horses around for a walk. There was much to see as she sat alone, but she still wished for Tobias to return.
Not just to end her boredom but because she imagined that Tobias was fuming at the moment. She had encouraged him to go give his condolences, but she didn't think it would take this long. It would have been best if she went with him.
