In my opinion, flight is not the right course, even if it should bring us to safety. It is impossible for a person, having been born into this world, not to die. But for one who has reigned, it is intolerable to be a fugitive. May I never be deprived of this purple robe, the purple robe signifying royalty, being an empress. And may I never see the day when those who meet me do not call me empress. If you wish to save yourself, so she's talking to Justinian and Justinian's advisors. If you wish to save yourself, my lord, there is no difficulty.
