Camilla's P. O. V.

"Julian, this is beautiful. "

I grab his face and kiss him. Julian grins, "Now we're officially engaged."

I laugh and hold my hand out, the sun catching in the ring. "It's gorgeous"

Right now, Julian and I are laying outside under a tree. It's a beautiful day and we just wanted some alone time. My mom and Julian's mom are watching the kids so we can have some time.

I met Julian's parents the day before Louis' funeral. They've been so great. Apparently Julian talked about me a lot, so they felt like they already knew me. They knew how much Julian loved me, so they accepted me right away. They've been great with the kids too.

Julian sighs, "I can't believe it's been 2 months since you made the announcement. "

I nod as he keeps talking, "I've never been happier"

I grin at him, "Me neither. Listen, I'm going to visit Louis' grave and take him some flowers. John told me he wrote a letter for Uncle Louis and I promised I would take it to him. "

Julian stands up, pulling me up with him, "Shall I go with you?"

I shake my head, "I would rather go by myself, if you don't mind. "

Julian nods, "Of course. Let's go inside and get your things then you can go"

Julian and I walk inside. I go into the room where my mom and Julian's mom are with the kids.

I grin and bend down as John runs to me, hugging me. I smile and kiss his forehead, "John, can I have the letter you wrote for Uncle Louis?"

John nods and runs over to his desk then brings it back to me. I smile and ruffle his hair, "Thanks baby. I'll make sure he gets it. "

"Thanks mommy"

I look at the mom's, "I hope you don't mind just watching him for a little bit longer. Julian is here but I don't know where he went. I'm going to visit Louis' grave. "

My mom nods, "Absolutely. You go on," She walks over to me and hugs me, "Take as long as you want, okay? I know it's hard for you. "

I give my mom a look for saying that in front of Julian's mom. Julian's mom, Kenna, says, "Please, don't be embarrassed. I completely understand that you were married to him. You loved him. So don't worry about me. My husband and I completely understand. "

I smile and hug her, kissing her cheek, "Thank you. I'll see you guys later, okay?"

They nod and go back to playing with the kids. I grab the flowers and go out to the car, which is waiting for me. I'm driven to the cemetery.

I look at my security, "Stay here"

Then I walk over to Louis' grave by myself. I sit down next to his headstone and set the flowers down, "Hi Louis. John wrote you this letter. He told me I wasn't allowed to read it. So I'm just going to leave this here for you. We're all good. Julian and I are together. John and Charlotte are doing great. The coronation is in 2 months. Julian will be coronated and I will be coronated again as queen. I'll try my best to rule as you would. I know Julian will look out for France."

I start to cry as I say, "I miss you. I know that I spent most of our marriage being unfaithful. And i truly am so sorry. I would do anything to have you back here. I love you. "

I hear a branch snap behind me so I quickly turn around. And see Prince Charles of Scotland standing behind me.

He smiles at me, "Hi"

I quickly wipe my tears and stand up, "What are you doing here?"

He stops in front of me, "Someone at the castle told me I could find you here."

I nod, "Give me 1 more second, okay "

He nods and backs away, waiting by my car. I bend down at the headstone and kiss it, "I love you, Louis. I'll be back soon."

Then I stand up and walk back to the car, "What are you doing here?"

Charles sighs and slides in the car with me, "My parents are here. I came along. I needed to see you. "

I furrows my brows, "Why are your parents here?"

"They wanted to meet the new King. "

He stops talking and picks up my hand, fingering the engagement ring. I look at him, "You left."

He sets my hand down and grabs my
face, trying to kiss me. I turn my head so his lips touch my cheek, "I'm sorry, Charles. But I'm engaged to marry a man I've loved for a long time. And we can finally be open and public with our relationship. I'm not going to screw it up. Do I have feelings for you? Yes. But I love Julian. We are meant to be together. And I'm not going to screw it up. "

Charles nods, "Of course. I'm sad to hear it. But I understand. "

I nod as we pull up to the castle, "Good. I will see you inside. Dinner should be soon. "

He nods as the driver opens the door for me. I quickly get out and walk inside the castle, going to my room.

Julian is standing in there, getting dressed. When I walk in, he is completely naked. I laugh and quickly close the door.

He starts laughing, "You nearly gave me a heart attack. It's a good thing you've seen me naked before. "

I roll my eyes and drop my dress on the ground, walking over to the closet to change into a better dress for dinner.

I hear Julian say, "Now we're both naked and I don't know if I can control myself. "

I laugh again, "So sorry"

I put my dress on and look to see Julian also fully dressed. He walks over to me and grabs my waist, pressing his forehead against mine.

"How was your time at the cemetery?"

I give him a small smile, "It was good. Did you know that Prince Charles is here, with his family?"

Julian furrows his brows, "No. Why are they here?"

"They're here to meet you "the new King of France" was his exact words. "

"When did you see him?"

I roll my eyes, "He had the nerve to show up at the cemetery! I couldn't believe he would do that."

Julian looks at me, angry, "You're kidding. That's unacceptable. "

I nod but grab his hands in mine, "It is. But now, we need to get to dinner. Cmon darling. "

Julian quickly kisses me as we walk into the dining room, hand in hand.
