Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?

What's (not “whats”) the rule?
Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.
There's no rule.
Why do narcissists and especially covert narcissists always play the victim?
Whence the <ea> I cannot say but some other words that were spelled <ai> in French are spelled <ea> in English: aise → ease, graisse → grease, fait → feat.
Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.
Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.

While you may reasonably ask why words are spelled the way they're spelled, it makes no sense to ask why they're pronounced the way they're pronounced.
Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.
