Princess?

Chapter 38

Camilla's P. O. V.

"Camilla, I came as soon as I heard someone has broken in. I'm so glad they didn't make it inside your room. "

Louis tries to grab me but I step back, backing away from his touch. Louis furrows his brows, "What's wrong?"

I look away from him as I say, "They did make it into my room. And they did much more than that. "

Louis is quite for a minute before he says, "No. No. They didn't. "

I nod as tears stream down my face, "They did! Louis, I'm spoiled for you. "

Louis gives me a small smile, "You could never be spoiled for me. I love you. I must go inform the guards of this pressing matter. We need to find those men. "

I shake my head, "No! No one must know. Find them. But don't tell people I was raped. "

Louis nods and goes to kiss my forehead but I duck my head so I miss his touch.

I look up at him, "I'm sorry. But a man's touch, even a man's breath, reminds me of it. "

Louis nods, "Alright. That's okay. It'll take some time. I'm going to inform my deputy and we'll look for those men. We'll find them, Camilla, I promise. "

Louis quickly walks out of the room to go inform the guards that they need to find these people.

"Prince Julian for you, Your Majesty. "

I nod, "Thank you. "

Julian walks in, shutting the door behind him. He sighs, "I'm so sorry I wasn't there with you last night. I felt it would be too obvious. "

I turn my back to him as I walk towards my bed to sit down, "I understand. "

"At least they didn't make it to you. "

I don't respond, I just sit down and stare at the ground. I feel the bed dip down as Julian sits down next to me.

He quietly says, "They didn't make it to you, did they?"

I nod as tears start to form again, "They did. "

Julian stares at me in shock then I see the look of realization of what happened cross his face. He quickly grabs my hands in his, "Oh Camilla. I am so sorry. I would kill those bastards if I knew who they were. "

I'm surprised when he grabs my hands. I don't feel pain or fear. I feel comfort and love. Julian can touch me but I won't let my husband touch me. Great.

I sigh, "Louis is looking for them. "

Julian pulls me in to a hug, kissing my forehead, "Gosh I love you. "

I can't help but smile as I bawl my eyes out, "I love you too. "

"What are you going to do if you're pregnant. "

I look at Julian in shock, "Oh my gosh. I didn't even think of that. "

Julian strokes my cheek, "If that were to happen, Louis would claim your child as his own. He would stay by your side. "

I nod, "I know he would. I just feel terrible for how I've treated him. When he would do anything for me. "

Julian runs his hand through his hair, "You think we should take a step back from each other."

I bite my lip and look up at him, "As much as I want to do the right thing, I can't. I can't let you go. "

Julian grins, "Good. I don't want you to."

I laugh, "Alright. Then it's settled. Beatrice's wedding is tomorrow, you're coming right?"

Julian nods, "Of course. She is my cousin. "

I nod, "Of course. I forget that you're Louis' cousin. "

Julian sighs, "I hate that I'll have to watch you with Louis all evening tomorrow. "

I sigh, "I know. I'm sorry. But you will be with Angela. Whether or not I know it's fake, I won't like seeing you guys pretend. Especially since Louis will push you to marry her. "

Julian nods, "I know. We'll get through it together, okay?"

I smile as he kisses my forehead, "Okay. Well, you better go. It's late and Louis is coming soon. "

Julian furrows his brows, "Why?"

I bite my lip and look at my hands, "His mother is pressuring us for an heir. We have to start trying. "

I look up at him to see him clenching his jaw. I grab his hand, "Please try and understand. I'm married to a prince. We're going to become king and queen in just a few days. I have obligations that I need to fulfill. No matter my feelings. "

Julian stands up, "Fine"

Then he storms out, shutting my door rather hard. I sigh and run my hand through my hair as Louis walks in.

"Did I just see Julian leaving your room?"

I nod, "Yes, he was asking me if there was anything he should know about him and Angela. "

Louis nods, "Ah, yes. I think they make a good couple. That would make you happy, right? She would stay here at Court I'm sure. "

I fake a smile and nod, "Of course. That would be great. "

Louis grins, grabbing me and kissing me, "I love you so much. "

I wrap my arms around his neck as he kisses my jaw, "And I love you. "

It's true, I do still love him. I just love Julian more.
