Lord Palmerston
primary
A distinguished middle-aged gentleman in his late 60s, with a strong, upright posture and a commanding presence.

Prussian Delegate

Austrian Envoy

Dialog

Lord Palmerston Gentlemen, let us not forget that the integrity of Denmark is a matter of European equilibrium. Would Prussia truly risk unsettling the balance we have so carefully maintained?
Prussian Delegate By the order of His Majesty, Prussia cannot overlook the rights of German-speaking subjects in Schleswig-Holstein. This is not merely a Danish affair, Lord Palmerston.
French Diplomat Might I suggest, messieurs, that we consider a solution which respects both Danish sovereignty and the... legitimate concerns of our Prussian friends?
Lord Palmerston A noble suggestion, Monsieur. But let us be clear: any solution must first ensure the stability of the region. The alternative is... undesirable.
Prussian Delegate Stability, Lord Palmerston, is precisely what Prussia seeks. But it cannot be achieved by ignoring the will of the people in Schleswig-Holstein.
French Diplomat Then perhaps a compromise, where Danish sovereignty is acknowledged, but with certain... concessions to local governance?
Lord Palmerston Concessions, Monsieur, are often the prelude to further demands. We must tread carefully—lest we find ourselves on a path none of us intended.
