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.

"Speak," Tabitha ordered the maid she had instructed to follow Helena.
"The two went off to speak on the balcony and closed the door so nothing was heard, but the maids spoke of the two seemingly arguing and crying. Helena stormed out and went right to her carriage while Hazel stood out on the balcony crying. She is now back to her lessons."
"Good job. Instruct the maids to come to me should the girl look to be in distress. We cannot tell what she would do next in her current state. See to it that the tutor reports whatever she did wrong during the lessons," said Tabitha.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
It was evident to Tabitha that Hazel was putting on an act. The way she spoke this morning came off as a joke now so she had no reason to be upset over it. Still, she had to properly deal with Hazel speaking to her with such disrespect.
