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.

With Annalise and Tobias backing Hazel where needed, the group was able to vote on having a truce between the two lands since no one wanted to fight or send their beloved sons to fight.
It was agreed upon that to be sure Annalise and her people did not go back on the truce, she would have to marry Rafael. Hazel felt bad the couple needed to rush being married to have the truce done but this was the only way some fears would go away.
Hazel stayed with Tobias while the others engaged in another conversation before they would have to part. Hazel could not stop smiling as she was impressed with herself. She hadn't done much compared to Annalise but she was proud of how she allowed her opinions to be heard.
