And here we go. That's kinda what I was waiting for. No weird looks, I meant both Maries starting to influence each other, inspire each other. So far only Marie Antoinette is inspired (and well, in love), but that's a good development for her. And as much as she's commiting an SA, let us not look at this from 21st century's perspective.
Now I wonder how it changes Louis-August though. It's not without reason that Marie Antoinette does this to him in the same chapter we're being reminded of Charles-Henri's rapist. On one hand, they're different from each other and seemingly go in the opposite directions, but on the other, they're really similar.
Now, Louis-August will probably be a parallel to Charles-Henri, but - as parallels often do - he might be the opposite. Instead of making him develop and kinda slip out of his chains, it might tie him down even more.
