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.
Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.
There's no rule.
Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.
Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.

Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.
