Shawmila Island DISCONTINUED

Treated Like a Queen

Alternate world where both Shawn and Camila are royalty.

Shawn POV

I sheathed my sword and then rested it on the stand. Training was finally over. As a prince, I had to learn how to fight with a sword, and get this- on a horse. A live-freaking-moving horse! I don't understand how my father does that.

I've been training for about two years, and soon, I will be king myself. Unfortunately, in order to be king, I've got to be married or engaged. But my father told me that I can postpone the coronation day if I have to, just to find the right girl for me. Let me rephrase that, the right princess for me.

I put all of the marriage ideas off to the side, because today is my fathers birthday. There is to be a great ball for him, and all the kings, queens, princes and princesses around our kingdom are attending. My father also said it was a good time to meet all of my possible wives, but I think that tonight should really be just about him.

As I walked back into the palace, I saw my little sister, Aaliyah, with another boy. His name was Cristian, and his father was our army commander. As I passed them, I saw many workers huddling around setting up for the party. I think the greeting and arrivals start at 2:00 pm, and right now it is noon. I decided to start getting ready. I showered and then put on my clothes, reserved just for this. Because this was a very formal event, I had to have my hair professionalism done. It makes it look greasy, so I usually undo it.

By this time, it was already 1:45 pm so I decided to head to the front gates. The rest of my family were already there. Which meant the guest were coming soon, on boats, because our palace is an island known for our great navy army. The order of guest arrival was random, until the last three. They were organized by friendship. The one royal family that our kingdom likes most goes last, so they get the most recognition. Last I checked, the last family was supposed to be the Griers, but things might've changed. Nash Grier, the king-to-be, is a good friend of mine.

As the trumpets blared, the first vessel arrived. As the family emerged, we all greeted them and then they walked to the side, to stand and wait to greet the next guest. All of the ships are decorated to represent the one thing their kingdom is known for. After about 40 ships have come and gone, the last three were about to arrive. First, there was the Brookes. The family consisted of the kings daughter, Ally, and his stepdaughters Normani and Dinah Jane. They all emerged out of their brown, hand carved wooden boat. The ship had animals carved into it with many sails. The Brookes are known for their sacred forests and animals.

Next, a large black boat with ash and fire arrived. There was torches blazing high and glittery gems shining in the sun. The Griers had come. They were known for their mining and beautiful gems. I saw Nash come out in an all black suit with a ash gray tie and a small silver crown. I smiled at him and he saw me and smirked.

Finally, the trumpets blared for the last time. A large silver singing ship approached. The sails were white with silver streaks, and had the international symbol of wisdom on it. Everyone stood, and awaited. It was the Cabello Family, known for their grace and wisdom on a battle field.

My kingdom was allies and friends with them. First, King Alejandro and Queen Sinuhe stepped out. Then the queen-to-be, Lauren, approached. Finally, I saw Lauren's sister, Camila walk out.

For some reason, I froze. My hands began to shake and my stock got a weird feeling. I walked up, and approached the family, as did the rest of us. I went straight to the king, and then the queen. After greeting them, I walked to the girls. They looked at each other, shrugged, and then came up to me. Lauren gave me a hug, and I hugged her back in a greeting way. It was unusual, because that wasn't the traditional way to greet.

Anyways, after Lauren, Camila came up to me and hugged me. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek. She smiled, blushed, and went on to be with her family.

"Thank you, everyone, for attending my birthday ball! Please, have fun, and enjoy your stay here." My father announced. Everyone cheered and then slowly dispersed into their own conversations. The party had begun.

After many dances and conversations, I knew I had to get away. I speedily walked out of be ballroom and went on the balcony. I saw a figure and I was going to say hello, when I realized it was Camila.

So naturally, I scared her.

"Ahhhh! Shawn, what the hell?!"

Not to mention, Camila and I are really good friends, but I've never seen her as my wife. Well, until now. I think I finally realized her beauty and grace. So I told her,"You look beautiful Camila." She blushed,"Thanks. I really don't like this dress though."

I looked at it, and I could see why. She looked amazingly beautiful, but to her, it was very extravagant.

(Dress)

I laughed, and said, "you know you could change into something more comfy." She laughed.

>•<

I spent the rest of the night with Camila. She was so fun to be around. I think I'm in love with her. After knowing her for 14 years, I finally realized how great she actually is. So when she laid on my bed and snuggled into my chest while watching a movie, everything felt perfect.

The next day

Trumpets blared once again signaling that it was time for breakfast. All of the guests stayed over for the night. As the guests filled in the spots in the dining hall, I went to find Camila, who had left my room last night at midnight.

I walked into the large dining hall, looking for a certain face. As I scanned all the faces, I didn't see Camila's.

Now I was worried. Almost everyone had arrived besides her. Even her parents were sitting down at the table.

I felt arms wrap around me and I panicked. Turning around, I saw Camila's face smiling softly and chuckling at my antics. "Morning Sir. Mendes." She and I laughed, before I smiled and said,"Don't call me that. It makes me feel old." She smiled at me.

After we all ate breakfast, our guests started to leave. As people were boarding their own ships, Camila walked up to me and hugged me. She said,"Thanks, Shawn,for last night. I had a lot of fun."

"Anytime, Camila."

She smiled and then said,"Are you ready to become king soon? Coronation is just a year away."

I replied,"I think I'm ready. All I need now is a wife." I looked at Camila and suggestively wiggled my eyebrows. She laughed and then said,"I'm glad I'm not  firstborn. I wouldn't be able to handle all of that. And I am definitely not cut out to be a queen. A princess is good enough."

I smiled at her face," Camila, you may be just a princess, but I'm going to treat you like a queen."

Sorry it took longer to update. But hey, spring break though....*wiggles eyebrows**
