Princess?

Chapter 71

Camilla's P. O. V.

Looking back on my life now, I've been blessed. I've known love, twice. I've had two beautiful healthy children.

I don't want to be anywhere else but France. When I think about everything this country has brought me, I never want to leave. I love this country. My country.

"What are you doing out here?"

I turn around to see Julian walking toward me. He stops behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and setting his chin on my shoulder.

I sigh, "I love coming out into the garden at night. It's beautiful. Especially when the sky is clear and you can see the stars"

"You look like you were deep in thought"

I nod, "I was thinking about how great my life has been. "

Julian smiles and kisses my neck quickly, "You've made my life great by being here."

I grin, "I love this. Just the peace I feel when we're together. The happiness. The contentment. I don't need anything else other than you and our kids. I'm happy. "

Julian turns me around, holding my hands in his, "I'm beyond happy that we have a family together. And our kids are happy to have such an amazing mother that cares for them so deeply. "

I smile, "You're too good to me. "

Julian kisses me then says, "Cmon, it's chilly out here. Let's go inside. "

I nod and lace my fingers with his as we walk back inside the palace.

We go inside and sneak back into our bedroom, hoping not to run into Charles or his parents. We don't want to be disturbed.

I start walking into the bathroom to get ready for bed but Julian grabs my hand, stopping me.

He pulls me back towards him, grabbing my waist. He presses his lips against my neck. I laugh, "Oh. Now I see why you wanted me to come inside."

Julian laughs, pulling away, "Shh, do you hear that? Silence. No kids. No Charles and his parents. No one. We're all alone. "

I smile and wrap my arms around his neck, moving even closer to him. Julian presses his lips against mine, slowly.

"I can't believe we're finally together. Openly"

I grin and pull back, "Our wedding is in two months. And we have two beautiful kids. I've never been happier. "

Julian grins and walks me backwards until my back slams against the wall. I shriek in surprise, laughing.

Julian grins and pins my hands above my head, kissing up and down my neck. Eventually I jump up, wrapping my legs around his waist.

He carries me over to the bed, laying me down. He sits up and stops, just looking down at me.

"You're so beautiful. Gosh. What did I do in my past to be so lucky?"

I laugh and grab his neck, pulling his lips back down to mine, murmuring, "You're really lucky tonight. "

I wake up the next morning, feeling light kisses being made on my bare shoulders. I open my eyes and am greeted by Julian's beautiful face.

I laugh, "Good morning"

He kisses me, "Good morning"

All of the sudden, the door busts open. I scream and dive under the covers, covering myself up. I hear Julian say, "What the hell are you doing in here? Get out of our room!"

I hear the door close and Julian pulls the covers away from my head. I sit up, "Who was it?"

He looks angry, "Charles! He just marched into our room!"

I furrow my brows, "Are you serious? Why would he ever think that that's okay?"

Julian shakes his head, getting out of bed and getting clothes on, "I don't know. But I'm about to find out. "

Before he leaves, I lean across the bed, "You're just going to leave me like this?"

He laughs at my pouty face and kisses me, "I'm sorry, darling. I have to confront him. "

I nod, "Fine. I'll get ready then head to breakfast. "

He nods as he starts to leave, "I'll send your stylists in"

He walks out and closes the door behind him. I get out of bed and go get into the shower, getting ready for the day.
