:50:03
...between your own legions
and the armies of Mithradates.
:50:07
To send His Majesty to fight
may mean his death.
:50:10
An occupational hazard
for those who are king.
:50:13
But then certainly not I, Caesar.
:50:15
I'm no king, nor general.
What do I know of war?
:50:17
A simple scholar.
:50:20
A man of thoughts and words.
:50:22
Too many words. Enough.
:50:25
Let all be done properly as decreed.
:50:50
Flavius.
:50:54
Find Apollodorus.
Return his dagger to him.
:50:57
You might clean it first.
It has Pothinus all over it.
:51:01
Yes, yes, I know I'm tired.
I promise I'll sleep.
:51:07
You have my apologies
for what almost happened to you.
:51:11
Caesar, will you talk with me
for just a minute?
:51:15
Yesterday was full.
Tonight was long.
:51:18
This morning has not been uneventful.
:51:20
Did you know that Apollodorus
would kill Pothinus?
:51:24
He was kind enough to wait until Rome
had passed sentence of death.
:51:28
And my brother...
:51:30
...and Theodotus?
:51:32
They too will be killed, possibly.
:51:34
Probably.
:51:36
Your Majesty, I'm truly weary.
:51:39
You knew all along, didn't you,
that there was no real danger.
:51:43
That Mithradates was on his way
to reinforce you.
:51:46
- Why didn't you tell me?
- You wouldn't believe me.
:51:49
- I really must insist...
- I would've believed you.
:51:52
- You didn't trust me.
- Not for an instant.
:51:56
And yet, in these last few minutes...
:51:58
...you have made me undisputed queen.
