TNGF
SELECTED
Marquis de Louvois

A tall, lean aristocrat in his late 40s with sharp features, piercing blue eyes, and a meticulously groomed mustache. His posture exudes authority, with shoulders squared and chin slightly elevated, embodying the confidence of Louis XIV's court.
Imperial Chancellor
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a stern, angular face, deep-set piercing eyes, and a neatly trimmed gray beard. His posture is rigid, exuding authority and unyielding resolve.
Dutch Notary
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with thinning gray hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His sharp, observant eyes dart between the diplomats, betraying his discomfort despite his professional demeanor. His hands, ink-stained from years of meticulous record-keeping, tremble slightly as he adjusts his spectacles.
French Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 20s with a clean-shaven face and close-cropped dark hair. His piercing blue eyes scan the room with military precision, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles. His posture is impeccable, reflecting years of rigorous training.
Dialog
Marquis de Louvois
Monsieur le Chancelier, surely you recognize that the territories in question have been under French protection for generations. To deny this is to deny the very fabric of history itself.
Imperial Chancellor
Protection, Marquis? Or occupation? The Empire does not forget so easily the transgressions of your king.
Marquis de Louvois
Transgressions, you say? How curious a choice of words, when it was your own predecessors who first sought to undermine the stability of the region.
Imperial Chancellor
Do not presume to lecture me on history, Marquis. The Empire's patience wears thin, and our armies stand ready.
Marquis de Louvois
Ah, but war is such a costly affair, is it not? And for what? A few miles of land that your own maps scarcely acknowledge.
Imperial Chancellor
Every inch of the Empire's soil is sacred, Marquis. Your king would do well to remember that.
Marquis de Louvois
Then let us hope, for all our sakes, that reason prevails over pride.
