Chapter 426: The Speech

"οὐδεὶς γὰρ οὕτω ἀνόητος ἐστὶ ὅστις πόλεμον πρὸ εἰρήνης αἱρέεται· ἐν μὲν γὰρ τῇ οἱ παῖδες τοὺς πατέρας θάπτουσι, ἐν δὲ τῷ οἱ πατέρες τοὺς παῖδας."

"No man is so foolish as to desire war more than peace: for in peace sons bury their fathers, but in war fathers bury their sons."

-        The Persian Wars, Herodotus, translated by A. D. Godley

"Turn around, head towards the Hippodrome."

"But madam, there are way too many people out there, as the guard appointed by the Caesar himself it is my duty to stop you from getting yourself in to danger, in case any thing…"

"Listen to me, I am your direct superior."

"…Yes madam."
