Had a hard time choosing which idea using here… But here it is. Also serves as an ideal epilogue to every other snip I wrote for this edition of Lilanette Week.

"Excuse me?!"

Marinette was at the Italian embassy to officially meet her girlfriend's mother. Not Lila's idea, she was scared at the thought of her mother meeting Marinette in private, but the woman had insisted, and Lila and Marinette both knew it was better not contradict her on that. So, there she was, meeting with the unsettling woman that looked very similar to her daughter, even if she wore her much shorter hair in a bun and was apparently making a point of being completely still… And the moment Lila had to leave them alone her mother had flat-out offered money to break-up with her.

"That's the whole reason, isn't it? Agreste was too naive to even notice your advances, so you went after my daughter." she had continued.

"That's not like it!" Marinette replied, suddenly standing and slamming her hands on the table.

Lila's mother tilted her head to the side, apparently surprised, then stated her disbelief: "Can't believe you actually love her… You are most obviously not good for her, yet you love her. More than your family?"

"What?"

"I am a diplomat important enough to affect unimportant people's passports-and I hear your grandmother likes to travel. What could happen to her if her passport was suddenly revoked or flagged as a fake while she's outside the Union, I wonder? Some trouble…"

That had caught Marinette by surprise. The woman had casually passed from offering money to threaten her family to have her break up with Lila… And she couldn't take it. But she had no solution, even as she thought about it. Maybe Lila would have some idea, or Master Fu-

"You pass." Lila's mother suddenly said, finally moving and becoming less unsettling. "I apologize for the threats, but I had to see if I had read you correctly.
"I know my daughter, far better than she thinks, and the sheer effort she must have consciously or unconsciously taken for you to be her girlfriend, what with her temper, that I fear she inherited from myself and she reigns in by clinging to old codes of honors beyond what most people would do, more than a few emotive scars, having been raised in an environment not exactly tolerant of same-sex relationships, HAVING ABSOLUTELY NO TRUST IN HER MOTHER" Lila took her clue to dramatically enter the room "and not intervening so far only because she was trying to understand why I was doing something so brazen… And I needed to know what you were made of. And I saw in your eyes that when I threatened your family you weren't thinking about giving up one of them but on how to deal with the threat. I suppose you can stand at her side."

"But-but-but-"

"That's completely insane, mother." Lila flatly stated.

"Lila, dear, our last name is Rossi Rinaldi Colonna di Sciarra. Our namesake is a man that, over a contention where our family was objectively in the wrong, decided to kill the reigning Pope and did so by conquering his hometown while he was there and barging in his home, and even if stopped by his French accomplices he still did on him such a number he died less than a month later-I have a tradition to uphold."

Lila decided to just drag Marinette away before her mother broke her.

note
As far I'm concerned, Lila's mother is a more emotional Gabriel: extremely overprotective and ready to do some questionable things for her only child. And that's quite the problem when said person is an experienced diplomat, descends from a family that did the above, and has a questionable sense of humor. If nothing else, the fact her mother's a very functional madwoman explains Lila perfectly. One of these days I'll have to come up with a man that can love a woman like that to be Lila's father…
