Looking for a man ~ Louis Condé x reader

Word count: 1,803

Warnings: none

Summary: Queen Mary is playing matchmaker for her friend.

“And what about Lord Condé?”, Mary asked me. I followed her gaze to the young man standing on the other side of the crowded dance floor conversing with Bash. “He is a righteous man after all. Not to mention his nobility and riches”, my queen and friend continued her arguments.

Being the only one of Mary’s ladies who hadn’t married yet, Mary and the other three girls were constantly looking out for a suitable husband for me. But I wasn’t sure whether I was ready yet.

I was yanked out of my thoughts by the Queen of Scots resting her hand on my shoulder obviously awaiting an answer. “I don’t know. I don’t even know him”, I replied. To be honest the young and good looking nobleman had caught my eye multiple times before at other social events or when Mary asked him for help.

“As you said he is an honourable man of nobility. He’s the Prince of Condé and I’m only a lady in waiting. My family isn’t noble nor are they very rich, I am only a girl that is lucky enough to have a queen as her friend, I have nothing to offer him, Why would he want me as his wife?”, I said turning to look at Mary.

“How can you say something like that?!”, my queen replied outraged gently grabbing my shoulders, “Not only are you intelligent and kind, you are one of the most beautiful women at court. Many men would kill to have the attention of such a woman as you.” Her kind words made me smile.

I let my gaze wander over the crowd of extravagantly dressed guests but again my gaze was caught by Lord Condé. “I could talk to him for you”, Mary whispered nudging my side with her elbow after noticing who I was looking at, “after all he is a good friend of mine. He will listen to me.”

At that moment Kenna came over to us smiling brightly. “So, who is the lucky man this time?” “What?”, I asked perplexed. “Oh stop it. I knew seeing you from the other side of the room that Mary had another suitor in mind for you”, Kenna said a twinkle in her eyes, “so, who is he?”

“Lord Condé”, Mary answered her question, “but (Y/n) isn’t sure about him. He would make a wonderful husband, wouldn’t he?” I knew what she was doing. She was hoping that Kenna would support her point so that both of them could make me approach him.

“Yes, he would”, Kenna’s gaze wandered over the people standing around us until it landed on Condé and her husband standing together, “especially as handsome as he is. You can’t deny that!” This made the three of us giggle.

Then I sighed. “Come on, cheer up. There’s no harm in talking”, Kenna smirked a little mischievously at me, “Have a little fun.” And with that she suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the man we had been talking about.

I struggled against her grip but when Kenna had something in mind it was hard to stop her. Turning around I silently asked Mary for help with my eyes but she only shook her head, a smirk of her own creeping onto her lips.

The two of us stopped directly in front of the two men which in turn looked up at us in surprise. Kenna smiled widely at the two young soldiers. “Condé, Bash, how lovely to see you two here at court attending these festivities especially after having worked so hard over the last few days”, Kenna broke the silence, “Lord Condé, I’m not sure whether you have met my dear friend (Y/n).” Condé’s attention moved from my friend to me as I curtsied.

“What a pleasure to meet you”, he said slightly grinning as he bowed. “The pleasure is all mine, my Lord.” “Please, call me Louis.” I smiled at him.

“Bash, would you come with me?”, Kenna asked her husband and with those words the two of them left, leaving Louis and me to be alone.

“Would you care to go for a walk?”, Louis asked while pointing towards the door leading from the full room to the deserted hallways. “I would love to”, I replied following him out of the crowded room.

At first I had problems keeping up with him put soon the two of us fell into step with each other. I couldn’t stop myself from secretly glancing at him. Not only was he incredibly handsome with his chiseled  face and the light facial hair, but he also seemed to be very kind and down to earth unlike most of the other nobles that I’ve met.

The hallways were silent, not a soul was occupying them. The cool night air filled the stone corridors. “I have heard you’ve been spending your time at court helping the King’s deputee”, I started our conversation as we slowly wandered. “Yes, there have been a few disturbances with some of the local peasants that we’re looking into, but so far we haven’t gotten very far”, he replied looking down at me.

“Oh. I hope your stay here has been otherwise successful and pleasant.” “Of course it has. What about you? For how long have you been here in France?” “For almost a year now. I do enjoy it here. Especially being here with Mary and the other three girls, but I do miss Scotland”, I told Louis a smile sneaking onto my face as I was lost in thought of my homeland, “The rolling hills. The cold, harsh yet beautiful wilderness and of course my family.” I sighed in thought of my two younger sisters at home.

“I share your sentiment”, Condé said as we stopped in our tracks, “I too miss Navarre but on the other hand I am relieved to have brought some distance between me and my brother Antoine. I am sure his reputation precedes him.” This made both of us chuckle. Of course I had heard of his brother the King of Navarre, especially of his extravagant and immodest parties. I had overheard some servants whisper about how scandalous they usually ended.

Through one of the open doors we were able to see Mary and Francis dancing together, both of them had huge smiles on their faces. The sight of the two made me smile. “Isn’t it wonderful how happy they seem? Their joy seems to light up the whole kingdom in these times of darkness”, I commented. Louis hummed in agreement.

“To be completely honest, I’m not sure whether I could ever imagine myself as happy as they are”, I admitted a little embarrassed and shyly looked at him. Louis seemed surprised at my confession.

“Is there no one special in your life who holds your heart?”, he inquired as we continued walking. “No, sadly not. What about you have you ever been in love?”, I asked curious whether I even had a chance to win this nobleman’s heart.

“Well...”, Louis began, looking away from me while scratching the nape of his neck, “I have found love before but it didn’t work out.” There was a hint of sadness in his voice and I wondered whether this woman still held his heart.

“I envy you, I’ve never been truly in love and now that all the others spend their time with their significant others or in Lola’s case with her son, I just feel a little left out and lonely”, I confessed. My eyes began to water slightly and my heart clenched in remembrance of the painfully lonely times.

“You know, if you ever are lonely again you can come to me”, he offered me and I thanked him with a grateful smile.

Just then we strolled past an opening leading out onto one of the many balconies. Louis stopped in his tracks making me halt with him. A soft smile spread onto his face as he offered me his hand. “Would you do me the pleasure of joining me outside?” “How could I say no”, I replied.

Louis gently took my hand in his as he lead me out onto the small balcony. Standing at the railing I observed the world outside of the castle. In the distance I could see the lights of the village. I wondered what it would be like to live the life of a commoner, whether life would be simpler.

In the cool night air I could feel the warmth radiating off of Louis who was standing rather close to me. Unlike with other men I didn’t mind and rather welcomed it in hopes that it meant he might possibly have feelings for me.

I looked up at the dark night sky littered with bright stars like diamonds on a black silk gown. “Aren’t the stars beautiful?”, I exclaimed while admiring nature’s beauty.

Behind me Louis came closer, eliminating the distance between us as he laid his warm hands on my waist. This made my breath hitch. Was this really happening?  Was he as attracted to me as I was to him? My heartbeat sped up.

Then he leaned forward and whispered in my ear: “Not as beautiful as you are.” The way his breath grazed over my neck made my skin turn into goosebumps. The closeness of his lips to my face made me blush furiously. Never in my life had a man been this close to me.

At this small, intimate confession butterflies filled the pit of my stomach. I carefully turned around to look up at him. His sultry brown eyes had darkened further in desire causing my knees to wobble under my weight so I quickly grabbed onto the stabilizing railing behind me. Would’ve anyone else than Lord Condé looked at me like that I would’ve made a run for it.

One of his hands got a hold of my waist again and pulled me close to him. His other hand caressed my cheek. I leaned into his touch. My hands were resting on his broad chest. I could feel his breath on my face as he leaned down, our lips only a few inches apart.

Suddenly someone cleared their throat noisily causing us to jump apart from each other in surprise. As I looked over Louis’ shoulder I saw Bash standing in the door frame. “Condé, there has been news of the riders down in the village”, Bash informed the nobleman who in turn looked up at him, “We have to get going now.” Louis nodded in understanding before he turned back to me. “I will be back as soon as I can”, he told me while gently running his fingers across my cheek.

And off he went the man that I was slowly but surely falling in love with.

WHAT I CURRENTLY WRITE AND DON’T WRITE

PAYMENT - COMMENTS EQUALS NEW CONTENT (PLEASE READ)

(Characters and fandoms for which requests are open are below the cut so if you don’t want to read the guidelines, you can just scroll down there. However, I do recommend you to at least skim through the “I don’t write”-section to make it easier for both of us!)

(IF YOU WANT TO REQUEST ME TO GIVE YOU A SHIP, SEE THIS SEPARATE POST)

MY ONLY RULE:

If you make a request, anonymous or not, you have to leave a comment on your fic. (Read more about why here.) Even better would be if you reblogged it to help get my work out to more readers!, but I will settle with a comment if you, for some reason, don’t want to reblog. 

This means there should always be a minimum of one comment under every requested fic I post - if I see that this isn’t being followed, I’m going to stop writing requests. Simple as that.

With that said, don’t bother requesting if you’re not ready to make this exchange because that’s just unpaid work. 

I DON’T WRITE:

Smut.

Songfics.

Headcanons.

Specified and inappropriate/illegal age gaps. Example, an underage student and an adult teacher.

Specified body types.

Body image issues & ED’s.

Male reader.

POC reader.

Specified physical features. (Hair colors, eye colors, etc.)

I try to stay as neutral to physical appearance as I possibly can so that everyone gets an equal chance at emerging themselves into the role, no matter the reader’s ethnicity, height, build, and so on.

Writing plus size!reader and writing about eating disorders and body immage issues is too triggering for me as I, myself, struggle with body dysmorphia on a daily basis.

TO THINK ABOUT WHEN REQUESTING:

Don’t be too vague with your request. For example, a request asking for a fic where “the reader is a character x’s sister”, or "the reader is shy” or”sassy”, is not enough for me to go on. I need a scenario, a plot, an action, an endgame, or a dialogue prompt.

Contrary to the previous point; don’t make requests with too much detail or too long of a timeline, either. I don’t have the energy nor time to write requests that are spread out over eternity and that would end up being as long as a novel.

When requesting prompts from my prompt-lists, ALWAYS include the number and name of the list, not just the quote. The lists you can request for are the following:

Fluff Angst Smut Kiss Hug Common tropes

Don’t get pissy if you request something and I kindly tell you that I don’t write that kind of thing, whatever it may be. I’ve had to deal with this a lot lately and it’s really annoying. All writers have their own, individual preferences, and that’s their right.

Keep in mind all that is written above, and feel free to send several requests if you want to guarantee that you get at least one of them done - some things are easier to write than others and I always appreciate having requests to pick from depending on my mood and current motivation.

Requests are currently open for the following fandoms and characters. Please send in requests!
