TNGF
SELECTED
Count Albert Apponyi
primary
A distinguished Hungarian statesman in his early 70s, with a tall, slender frame and a dignified bearing. His sharp, intelligent eyes are framed by wire-rimmed spectacles, and his silver hair is meticulously combed back. His face bears the lines of a lifetime of political maneuvering and oratory.
Allied Representative
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a stern, clean-shaven face, sharp blue eyes, and silver-streaked dark hair combed back meticulously. His posture is rigid, exuding authority and control, with a slightly raised chin that gives him an air of superiority.
Hungarian Delegate
secondary
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a slightly hunched posture from the weight of the moment. His dark hair is streaked with gray, and his hands are visibly trembling.
French Official
background
A middle-aged man of average height with a slim, upright posture, clean-shaven face, and neatly combed dark hair with streaks of grey. His sharp features and attentive eyes give him an air of quiet authority.

Dialog

Count Albert Apponyi With this pen, I sign not merely a treaty, but the dismemberment of a thousand years of Hungarian sovereignty. May the gods bear witness to this injustice.
Allied Representative The terms are clear, Count Apponyi. Your hesitation delays only the inevitable.
Count Albert Apponyi Inevitable? No, sir. This is not inevitability—this is vengeance cloaked in diplomacy.
Allied Representative The war demanded sacrifices from all. Hungary’s reckoning is no different.
Count Albert Apponyi Sacrifices? You speak of land and people as though they were mere chattel. This treaty is a dagger to the heart of Hungary.
Allied Representative Enough. The matter is concluded. The world moves forward, with or without your approval.
Count Albert Apponyi Then let history judge this day, and may it remember the names of those who carved up a nation with such callous indifference.
