Princess?

Chapter 48

Camilla's P. O. V.

It's been a month since little John was born. It's been great. Right now, Beatrice and I are out in the town.

She wanted to show me her favorite dress maker. I was excited to go, I could use some new dresses.

After we visit the dress maker, we start walking through town, with lots of royal security, of course.

We're walking when I notice everyone staring at me in disgust and whispering.

I hear people say, "Look at her. She's such a slut. A dumb American slut. I can't believe King Louis settled for her and thought so little of his country to allow her to rule us. And on top of that, she's unfaithful with King Louis' cousin! She should be killed for treason. That bastard child should be killed as well!"

I hear a ton of people yell in agreement. All of the sudden, a hand grabs me and pulls me away from my security. The mob of people crowd around me and hit me and kick me.

I scream and cry until my security team pulls them all away. They quickly carry me, with Beatrice running behind, to the car. Then we speed off back to the castle.

I wake up and look around, I'm in my bed. Sitting at the foot of the bed is Julian. Beatrice, Angela and Louis are standing by him.

I rub my eyes, "How long was I out?"

Julian quickly moves up next to me and kisses me, "Just for an hour. How are you feeling?"

I sigh, "Very sore. "

Louis says, "I'm confused. How do people know of the affair and John not being mine anyway?"

Beatrice clenches her jaw, "It has to be our mother, Louis. Only us and mother know. And mother hates Camilla for cheating. She did this. She's trying to get you killed!"

Louis runs his hand through his hair, "I'm sure it is her. I'll talk to her. In the meantime, Camilla, no more shopping trips in the town. You can send someone to go for you. Just until it's safe again. "

I nod, "Sure. Hey, where's John?"

Julian smiles and grabs my hand in his, "I just put him down for a nap. "

I smile back up at him, "Thank you. "

Angela moves towards the door, "Cmon guys, let's give them some privacy. "

I watch as Beatrice heads out with Angela and Louis, reluctantly, walks out as well, shutting the door behind him.

Julian sets his hand on my cheek, "I would kill all of those people if I knew who did this. "

I bite my lip and feel it super swollen, "Do I look bad?"

He smirks and shakes his head, "No, you're perfect. Perfectly beautiful. "

I laugh, "Even though I know you're lying, I love you. "

Julian gives me a long kiss, "And I love you. "

I sigh, "John can't leave this castle. Not with you, me, Louis, anybody. His life has been threatened. And I'm not going to take that lightly. "

Julian nods, "Absolutely. I agree. That's the best thing for John. And you. No more leaving the castle either. You had guards with you and somehow they still managed to get to you. "

I groan, laying back on the bed, "I had no idea that the whole country of France would hate my guts. "

Julian kisses my forehead, "It'll be alright, okay. Everything will turn out fine, in the long run. How about you get some more rest, huh? You've had an interesting day. I'll look after John if he wakes up. "

I smile, "I love you. "

"I love you too "
