Princess?

Chapter 30

Camilla's P. O. V.

I straighten my dress and run my hands through my hair before I knock on the door.

The door opens, revealing Julian. Julian's eyes roam over me, "Wow. "

I laugh and blush, "Thank you. Now, shall we head down?"

He nods, offering me his arm. I take it as we walk into the ballroom.

A beautiful song starts and Julian grins, "Join me for a dance?"

I nod as we walk on to the dance floor. We start dancing as many couples around us start dancing as well

I look around, "So, do you see any woman here to your liking?"

"I do"

When I meet his gaze, his eyes are piercing hard into mine. And I know what he's implying.

I can't help the blush that forms across my face. I smile up at him, "Julian.."

He laughs, "I know, I know. You're engaged to be married. "

I sigh, "To the future King of France."

Julian lifts his hand, brushing it against my cheek, "I can tell you want me too"

I pull away, "You need to be careful. You shouldn't touch me or talk so freely. Especially with so many people around. Thank you for the dance, but I believe you have a woman to search for."

As I start to walk away, I feel his fingers graze against my hand as he says, "Camilla, wait-"

I keep walking, searching for Louis. When I can't find him, I stop, searching for Julian again.

I feel bad for treating him the way I did. When I finally find him, I see him with a woman. Not just any woman. My best friend, Angela.

It hurts me to see him with another. Especially my best friend. And I know it's stupid because I just met him today. But I don't feel like I've had this intense connection with anyone else before.

I walk over to them, "Julian, care to finish that dance?"

Julian looks at Angela next to him then back at me, "Actually, I'm going to dance with this beautiful woman. Angela, this is Camilla. The future Queen of France. "

I grit my teeth, "I know who she is, Julian. She's my best friend from America. "

I quickly turn around and walk away, feeling tears prickle the back of my eyes. Why am I getting this upset?

I compose myself and stop, looking for Louis again. I don't find him but I let out a squeal as a hand grabs me and pulls me out on the dance floor.
