Of course she will.

She may live as long as she wants married with some foreign lord, far from France. It'll be just you and I, two chaps getting along.

[⚜️ Roi François Ier ⚜️ @RoiFrancoisI]

So will my mother.

[⚜️ Roi François Ier ⚜️ @RoiFrancoisI]

“Ouch! What did you do that for?!”

He shook his head. “Waiting for someone as perfect as you.”

And a bigger dowry. And well lots of reasons.

"We let the old bat believe you are named after her, but we know the truth." Louis said with a complicit wink.

[𝓛𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔𝒆. @LeurMignonette]

pocketing said coins, flashing her grandfather a wide grin. “ and named after you— two in one. ”

[𝕽𝐨𝐢 𝕷𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬 𝐗𝐈𝐈 @peredupeuple]

"Shameless. The apple didn't fall far from the thot tree."

[⚜️ Roi François Ier ⚜️ @RoiFrancoisI]

"Oh!" He brightened. "I am glad that word already reached you about my request to have an increase in my allowance."

[𝕽𝐨𝐢 𝕷𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬 𝐗𝐈𝐈 @peredupeuple]

Gives her cheek a gentle pinch.

"Belle comme sa grand-mère." Hands Louise some gold coins.

"Marry them already! What are you waiting?"

[⚜️ Roi François Ier ⚜️ @RoiFrancoisI]

[𝕽𝐨𝐢 𝕷𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬 𝐗𝐈𝐈 @peredupeuple]

Some illuminures of #AnneDeBretagne, twice queen of France. [1477-1525]. Her birthday is coming up... Also is it me or red was her favourite colour?

[𝕽𝐨𝐢 𝕷𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬 𝐗𝐈𝐈 @peredupeuple]

Not my best side but Anne looks as beautiful as ever.

[Jehanne d’Évreux, Royne d’Angleterre @joanofnavarre]

@MinervaDeFrance "Isn't that generous of him?" Louis grumbled but his grin didn't falter for his granddaughter. "Tell me, what do you enjoy reading?"

[𝕽𝐨𝐢 𝕷𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬 𝐗𝐈𝐈 @peredupeuple]

The queen and I shan't be disturbed.

Bonne nuit.

[𝕽𝐨𝐢 𝕷𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬 𝐗𝐈𝐈 @peredupeuple]

Louis pressed a kiss atop her head. "Such sweet disposition. You don't get that from any of your grandmothers." He grinned and playfully chucked her chin. "How is your father treating you?"

[𝓜arguerite 𝓓e 𝓕rance @MinervaDeFrance]

She's beaming and squeezing back.

"Those words make me happier than any other, grand-pére!" she laughed. "I am delighted to see you too."

Kicking butt and taking names.

Literally.

[𝕽𝐨𝐢 𝕷𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬 𝐗𝐈𝐈 @peredupeuple]

"Bon." He grins and picks her up. "Now, where were we? Ah, yes..." Whisks her away.
