I believe it is inspired by France history : the revolution that took place in 1789 caused a big uproar in all European monarchies which felt threatened by the revolutionary mentality that spread in the wake of it, they declared war on France (Prusse did first , former name of Germany) they tried to uproot the cause of the protests, France which was still highly unstable following the revolution and the purges lost the war, while being ravaged by a civil war inside, in the end napoleon took the power after establishing the consuls then the empire in 1801 and began to conquer Europe while promising hope of a new system with revolutionary believes, the population of the countries he invaded even welcomed him with celebrations, in the end he also was blinded by power and never really established the new system which lead to his demise in 1815 against England and the establishment of the 2nd Republic of France, the ideas of a democratic system being deeply implanted in the population mind lead by the declaration of the human and citizen right, voilà hope you liked the bit of history I shared, and to conclude I think the story is really inspired by these event that’s why it feels realistic in a way, recreating the atmosphere of the time with instability, fear of the revolution and the arrogance of the elites, I really like that for once an author took time to build the world they wrote, make a plot really good while placing the romance in the center (romance is always the most important to me) and making it beautiful while also really recreating the mentality of the time regarding marriage sex,… women weren’t clueless deers and men weren’t princes, even Valle seems realistic to me in his obsession (even if it’s huge), voilà love
