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.

Birthday ball (1)
"You shall be the most beautiful woman attending the ball tonight, Queen Hazel. You always look so lovely in yellow."
"Thank you, Daisy. It is your handy work that makes me look this beautiful. My family is to attend the ball tonight so please be on the lookout for them and bring them to me right away. I am in desperate need of one of my father's hugs," Hazel said as she smoothed down the front of her dress.
"I shall have one of the servants outside inform your family that they are to go straight to the throne, but I shall also stay near the doors to escort them. Many of the guests are arriving and I have heard that they have come with a lot of gifts. Shall I have what can fit sent to your room?" Daisy asked.
Hazel knew that the only gift Tobias would like to open tonight would be when taking off her dress, but she would love to see what the people had gifted their king. It was always interesting each year.
