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

Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.
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.
Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.

Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.
What's (not “whats”) the rule?
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.
You'll usually find your answer there.
There's no rule.

Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.
