Fics like To Love and to Cherish

On March 31, 1661, the English King's sister marries the French King's brother. This contract is often seen as one of King Louis XIV's first autonomous acts as King of France, negotiated with Henrietta's mother. Neither groom nor bride chose the match; and although the marriage celebration is sublime, neither is truly happy on this fine March day, and the groom flees his marriage bed to find solace elsewhere. - “So you're married,” the Chevalier says quietly. His breath grazes Philippe's lips, and as much as he loves that voice, he wishes it to be quiet for now. “And to a princess of England. Impressive.” Philippe hears himself snorting, but before he gets in a word, the other continues. “You looked quite happy with her, I wish you two all the best.” His voice is dripping with sarcasm, a grotesque charade of felicitations. “My dear-” Philippe tries to get in, to defuse the situation, but the Chevalier won't let him. His voice grows sharper still.
