Princess?

Chapter 65

Camilla's P. O. V.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I've called this press conference to announce who I have chosen as my future husband. I have chosen to marry Prince Julian, Louis' cousin, who is to be France's next King. Thank you. "

Immediately the press starts hounding me with questions, asking me if I had an affair. I just step away from the podium and walk back inside the castle.

The guards shut the doors, making sure the press stays out. Julian is standing just inside the castle, waiting for me.

He smiles as I walk inside, pulling me into his arms. He kisses my head and whispers, "I love you. "

My head is in the crook of his neck and I look down the hallway, seeing Charles standing there. Then he walks into his room.

I pull away from Julian, "I'm tired. You don't care if I go lay down, do you?"

He shakes his head, "Not at all. I'm going into town for a little while. I'll be back in a few hours. "

I nod and kiss him, "See you later. "

I stand in the hallway waiting for Julian to leave. Once he leaves, I quickly walk down the long hallway and open Charles' door, walking in and shutting it behind me.

He looks up at me in shock, "What are you doing?"

I shake my head, "Charles, he left me no other choice but to make the announcement. "

He nods, "I know that. "

I lean against his door, "I don't want you to go. "

Charles stands up, "I have to go. I'm not necessarily giving up on you. But I have to return to my country. My mother, she's getting antsy, she wants me married. "

I nod, feeling tears gather in my eyes, "I understand. "

Charles grabs my hands in his, "Camilla, you must know, that I don't want to be with anyone but you. "

I pull away from him, "But you're leaving me anyway. "

Charles grabs me again and kisses me, "Goodbye, my love. "

I pull away and run out of his room, going to mine. I change into a nightdress and lay down in bed. I'm laying there for a few minutes when my door opens.

I sit up and see John standing in the doorway, "Mommy"

I smile, "Come here, baby. "

I scoot over and John climbs in to bed with me. He turns over so our faces are nearly touching.

His hand wipes away a tear, "Mommy, why are you crying"

I take his hand and kiss it, "I miss your Uncle Louis. That's all"

John gives me a kiss, "Go to sleep, mommy. It'll all feel better when you wake up. "

I laugh, "Okay baby"
