Princess?

Chapter 31

Camilla's P. O. V.

This man that I've never seen before starts dancing with me in a way that would never be acceptable in France. Especially when I'm the future queen of France.

When the dance ends, I look and see Julian walking over, looking angry.

Julian walks up to me and pulls me away from the man. He looks at the man, "What do you think you're doing? Dancing with the woman engaged to our future King. And dancing with her in this manner!"

The man bows his head, "My apologies. But she's just so beautiful. I couldn't resist. "

I look up at Julian as he clenches his jaw, "I suggest you leave, now. "

The man grabs my hand and kisses the back of it before walking off. Julian grabs my face between his hands, "Are you alright?"

I nod, taking a deep breath, "Yes, I am. Thank you. You should return to Angela. I'm sure she'll want that dance still. "

Julian laughs, "Camilla, is that jealousy I detect in your voice?"

I stare at the ground for a second, thinking over how I should answer. I look up at him and boldly say, "Yes. It is. I've known you for 1 day but the intense connection and passion I feel towards you is something I've truly never felt before. "

I sigh, "I've admitted my feelings for you. That in itself was very wrong. Let's just forget this conversation ever happened. "

I try to walk away but he grabs my arm, "Camilla, you know I can't forget that. You know how I feel too. "

I square my shoulders and say, "This is wrong. And you know it is. "

Julian shakes his head, "In my heart, I know it's not wrong. And you know it too. You just don't want to admit it. Think about it and let me know what you decide. "

Julian walks away, leaving me speechless. Angela walks up to me, "He has feelings for you. "

I look at her, "Feelings that can cause his death. "

Angela grabs my hands, "I can see how unhappy you've been lately with Louis. He's always away working. You need to take a step back and think of what's going to make you happy. And if he will, go for it. I know you've committed to Louis and it's impossible to break off the engagement. So marry him and find love with Julian. You just need to be careful and discreet. Julian and I could pretend to be together, to take any suspicions away. "

"You would do that for me?"

Angela laughs, "Of course!"

I hug her, "Thank you so much, Ange. "
