Marie Adrienne François de Noailles loved to torment a farm boy called Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Montier de Lafayette, though she never called him that. She only called him Farm Boy. He was a kind soul, always doing whatever she asked. The only thing he ever said when he was told to do something was "As you wish."

But what Adrienne didn't know, was that Gilbert's 'As you wish's really meant, "I love you". And she soon realized, she loved him too.

("Grandpa, you said this wasn't a kissing story!" Angel whined.
Joel chuckled. "There are some kisses, Buttercup. Not many.")

One day, the two confessed their undying love for each other. But Gilbert didn't have enough money to marry Adrienne. So he left to find a job. He promised Adrienne that he would always come back to her. And with that, he left his love.

He was gone for only a short while before news came that Gilbert's ship had been attacked by the Dread Pirate Roberts. Everyone knew that he never took captives, so when Adrienne found out, she knew her love was gone for good.

She became a hollow shell of her former self. She swore she would never love again. Nothing made her happy anymore, except riding her horse, Buttercup.

("Grandpa, is that where my nickname came from?" Angel asked, a bit angry.
Joel shook his head. "No, young one," he said gently.)

Five years after Gilbert's death, Adrienne was to marry Prince Thomas Jefferson. She didn't love him, her heart was still Gilbert's, but she was forced. So they lived happily ever after. Or at least, it seemed they would.
