Y/n danced in the square and tapped her tambourine a hand grabbed her shoulder and she turned around

"Minister Folly! You scared me" she smiled bitterly at the priest who looked..very sweaty

"Yes yes.. I was Uh.. giving you this" he shakily handed her a paper

"Winters ball..?" She raised a eyebrow and pushed the paper into his chest

"I don't do anything fancy. I'm a street dancer not a ball dancer" she tapped her tambourine and walked back into the square

-time-

Lafayette tapped his hand anxiously against the carriage door inhaling sharply when y/n opened the door

"Y-y/n..I would like you to accompany us- I mean me! to the winter ball.." he stuttered nervously

'Us? Hm..'
"I would love to Laf..but I'm not dancing"

"That's such a same...you are so gorgeous when you dance.." Laf frowned and looked up at her

"If I gave into everyone's puppy dog look Laf I would be six feet under in a marriage being tied down raising stupid newborn heirs and cleaning kitchens." She said noticing his puppy dog eyes

He raised a eyebrow at her

"Just..come in.." She went in and moved to one end of the carriage while laf said hunched in the other

"I came from a very wealthy family.."

~Flashback~

"A marriage..?" Y/n stopped dancing and looked at her father

"Yes! You'll be married to a Duke! His name is Henry Mcsalv"
Her father grinned and presented him to his daughter, he was pudgy and nothing was wrong with that she had a issue with the fact that he wore a powdered wig, he was old and had a perverted look on is face

"Father I don't wish to get married.." she said but it only echoed at she was torn from the ballroom and thrown into a wedding gown she walked emotionless down the aisle until the the weight of what she was doing hit her

'You are getting married out of money'
'He'll force himself on you'
'This is because you are a woman'
'Doesn't your opinion matter?'
'You'll be stuck in one place for the rest of your life'

Out of all the voices that one echoed the loudest she didn't want to be blended into the housewife life she wanted to be someone worth reading about in the future after all
History had its eyes on her, she ripped off the lower part of her dress showing her mid-thighs

"I refuse to play a woman's part in history! I will be my own woman I'll drink I will dance and I will live my own life! Away from ovens and kitchens and stupid greasy old men!" She threw the fabric at Mcslav

"Fine! Run out just like your mother did! You probably have a separate lover like she did!" His voice echoed as y/n ran

'Ma had a separate lover..?'

"Oh y/n.." Lafayette's voice broke though the flashback breaking it to bring her back to the present she was suddenly aware that he was indeed very close to her now

"I'm sorry that I didn't realize the pressure on women sooner" he said getting gradually closer as he shut his eyes

'He's Trying to kiss you..'
'HES TRYING TO KISS YOU!'

Y/n pushed him out of the carriage into the mud

"You think just because I have a sad backstory that you are able to make moves on me?! I am in no need of a man to support me!" She snapped at him she slammed the carriage door and sat down ignoring the pleads of a Frenchman
