A few weeks later, there was much for Hazel to focus on in the palace. The man who had taken the women had been captured and now they were in talks of forming a truce to end the long war that had been going on before Hazel was born.
"I can feel your worry and I don't think that should ever be possible. We will be quick to speak about the terms of the truce and then return to the palace," Hazel said to her panicking husband.
Tobias didn't want Hazel to have to make the trip to the court even though it was close by since she was not feeling good the day before. "I could have the day changed or you could leave it to me to stop them from fighting each other."
"We've been through this already and I said no. The court made a fuss the first time Rafael was bringing her to Lockwood so we had to tell Rafael to take her away from us. They will seek any opportunity to dismiss her because not only is she from the border, she is a woman," said Hazel.
