At the untimely death of his father in 1894, Louis ascended the throne of Ludovicia under the regency of his mother, Blanche d'Orléans, who was largely influenced by the example of his father and grandfather in France, trying to bring high french interference in state affairs of the realm, without ever fully succeeding: on his father's initiative Luigi V before his death, in fact, Louis VI was entrusted to the General Ludwig von Hepstain with the intent to route it to a military career. After the death of Louis V, his widow Blanche disposed for her son a change of tutor in the person of his private counselor Jean Louis Chantebreuil who however died the following year. On the advice of the french ambassador in the Kingdom of Ludovicia, the marquis of Lambaise, the queen mother appointed for his son a new tutor in the person of the hungarian immigrant Ferdinand Pásztor.
With his new teacher, Louis studied in particular law and foreign languages as english and german speaking fluently, in addition to italian, spanish and russian. At age 15, with a considerable cultural baggage accumulated, he decided to take along with Pásztor a Grand Tour in Europe, going on a visit to France, England, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary (in particular he visited Vienna, Prague and Budapest) and Sweden, finally returning home after two years, taking the opportunity to be present in some of the major princely courts of the time, where he was received with great honor with the intention of weaving diplomatic relations with his small state. During the period of his absence, he appointed a regency commission that would operate under the guidance of his mother, and that was composed also by prime minister [[]] and archbishop Clement Arnaud Florentin of Estrelle, with the task of carefully relationing to him all government activities.

The agreements were providing to Ludovicia two valuable advantages: first, the official surrender of France to claim the possession of Ludovicia kingdom, then reconfirming officially independence. Second, the state had got a favorite channel for exports with France. Beyond the agreement, the clause of the recognition of the sovereignty of Ludovicia had required a substantial investment of money from the kingdom in favor to France, whom had promised that, thanks to the commercial advantages agreement, Ludovicia could recover needed in a short time. As the agreements proved altogether profiquous and favorable for part of the ludovician trade, actually the sudden release of such a large sum of money from state coffers had thrown the country to the brink of a deep economic crisis that threatened to squandering the wealth of the kingdom.
Since 1895, therefore, the Queen Mother Blanche was dedicated to finding her son recently came to the throne a worthy wife that could make a substantial dowry to save the state cash. The choice fell on Juliette de La Roche, the only daughter and heir of the Marquis Alexandre de La Roche, who had Particular luck becoming the first owner of an electricity dealership (the company ADC), which subsequently Became statal property passing to the crown after the death of the owner.
