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.

Tabitha smiled through her anger with the court permitting Grant to bring Linda to visit Hazel when it was her to be asked. These days the court was a little too interested in Grant. Tabitha wanted him close by for his family to protect Tobias, but the court might have other plans.
"I am the one to let Hazel have guests so you will need to request with me next time. Since you are here, I will allow Linda to meet with Hazel. You are in luck as Helena is meeting with her now. Linda," Tabitha said, touching Linda's hand. "I would appreciate it if you could cheer Hazel up. Her spirits have been down."
"My maid will escort you there and then bring you back to Grant when an hour goes by. I'm afraid that you cannot stay long as Hazel must get back to her tutor. Take Linda to Hazel," Tabitha ordered Jane.
"See you soon," Linda told Grant, kissing him on his cheek and then following the maid.
