Okay guys, so this isn't really fan fiction, it's more historical fiction because this story is based a true story but I don't know (and cannot find out) what actually happened so probably the entire story will be fiction though the concept is true. Reviews always appreciated!
(Translations will be included at the end of each chapter.)
"Good afternoon, monsieur."
"Si'l vous plaît, call me Duc d'Ayen."
"And you may call me Monsieur Comte."
"d'Accord. The reason I have appealed to you today is because I am hoping to marry off some of my cinq daughters. Marie Adrienne Françoise de Noailles, my second eldest, may be a good wife for your Gilbert du Motier Marquis de Lafayette. Are we agreed?"
"Duc d'Ayen, I am certain Marie Adrienne Françoise de Noailles would be a wonderful wife to Gilbert du Motier Marquis de Lafayette. But they are still very young."
"Ah, you seemed to have read my mind, Monsieur Comte. My wife is opposed to telling them right away as Marie Adrienne is only twelve years of age."
"I propose we have them fall à amour by themselves."
"That is a brilliant idea! Let us arrange for them to "coincidentally" meet many times in the next un ans and have them fall à amour of their own accord. Monsieur Comte, I declare ourselves geniuses of the time. Let us celebrate this arrangement with a toast. À l'amour!"
"À l'amour! Now, I am afraid I have duties to attend to. Until we meet again, Duc d'ayen."
"Au revoir, Monsieur Comte. Until we meet again."
