The more women Tobias heard were going missing, the more he felt like a failure. "Under my father's ruling, this would have never gone on for so long, but I don't have any proper leads. I am failing. This will only give those opposing me something to say to turn the people against me.'
Hazel walked to the chair Tobias sat on with his head resting on the palm of his hands. She had watched how he tired himself trying to find out what happened to the women.
Tobias had to solve this and still deal with plenty of other problems in the kingdom. They were still close to going to war at the border and to end it before it could get worse, they had to send Rafael to help.
Tobias was tiring himself out, putting the kingdom's well-being before his own. Some days she rarely got to see him because he was trying to come up with ways to keep everyone safe though it was impossible. She could not have him think that he was a failure.
