Olympe de Lignières is everything the court admires and mistrusts in equal measure. Celebrated across France for her beauty, immortalised in paintings that adorn the walls of noble houses, she has been raised not merely to be admired but to think intelligently. As the daughter of a powerful patron of the arts, Olympe is drawn to the hidden logic behind great creations like a certain king. As Olympe is drawn deeper into court life, her quiet intelligence begins to shape more than the education of the young Dauphin. Her ideas ripple outward but with the King's attention comes risk, and with influence comes scrutiny. Versailles fanfiction OC x Louis XIV
