Kapitel 165: Too good (4)

Hazel flipped another page of the book she was reading. Though some might find it boring she enjoyed reading the book with Tobias fast asleep on her lap. He slept as though he had not gotten proper rest for days and now she needed answers to what he was doing leading up to the wedding.

Tobias was not yet king and already he appeared drained. She hoped that the work he had to do would decrease so Tobias would not tire himself out so often. 

Hazel played with his hair, something he said calmed him. When she moved her hand earlier, Tobias had put it right back. Even when he was tired Tobias still found a moment to be like a child. 

'Tobias, you must eat something. You shouldn't be tired and hungry," Hazel said. 

There were fruit, sandwiches, and a variety of pastries for him to enjoy. Even a bit of meat was present.

"Feed me," Tobias answered. He was too comfortable to move just to eat. "Please."
