And, I mean, it doesn't have to be just 18th century characters, either!

(also, waiting for Yuletide!)

Re: 1730 Decision-making Characters: Chauvelin

I am 100% here for Fleury and Chauvelin being secret good cop/bad cop tricksters, and I only wish they'd stayed that way instead of all the conspiring and exiling :( (At least I still have Charles XII and Görtz!)

(also, this part is sort of unintentionally hilarious to me because the only Chauvelin I know about is the one from Scarlet Pimpernel)

This was my reaction word for word! I was so onboard with their partnership, and so disappointed they had a falling out. And yes to Charles XII and Görtz, problematic faves!

I do not know The Scarlet Pimpernel and am not familiar with that Chauvelin.
