Aru’s always the one who makes the references, we all know that. Especially LOTR ones. But why do we forget that Aiden is just as big an LOTR nerd as Aru? Like in almost no fanfics do I see where Aru says a reference and then Aiden plays along and then they're dying of laughter by the end, and everyone else is just staring at them wondering what's going on, like isn't that so cute?

The Persian envoy Mirza Mohammad-Reza Qazvini meets with Napolèon I at the Finckenstein Palace on April 27, 1807, where they sign the Treaty of Finckenstein.

by François Mulard.

The treaty would be signed on May 4, 1807, between France and Persia (Iran) as an alliance against their shared enemies, Russia and British influence in India. France agreed to provide military assistance and support Persia’s claims against Russia, while Persia committed to declaring war on Britain, expelling British citizens, and allowing French forces access through its territory toward India. However, the agreement didn’t last long, as France soon made peace with Russia in the Treaty of Tilsit only two months later. After that, Britain also reached its own agreement with Persia, effectively ending the Franco-Persian alliance.
