:27:06
There's never been time mother,
:27:08
since I was a child, I have been groomed to be ever the best.
:27:14
Aaw my poor child, like Achilles,
:27:18
cursed by your greatness.
:27:26
Take my strength.
:27:33
You must never confuse your feelings with your duties, Alexander.
:27:40
A king must make public gestures for the common people.
:27:45
I know, but you will be 19 this summer,
:27:48
and the girls already say you dont like them,
:27:50
You like Hephaistion more,
:27:53
I understand it is natural for a young man,
:27:56
But if you go to Asia with out leaving your successor you risk all.
:28:01
Hephaistion loves me,
:28:05
..as I am, not who.
:28:09
Loves? Loves?
:28:15
In the name of Dionysus,
:28:19
...understand how Philip thinks. For your own sake.
:28:24
Your life hangs in the balance,
:28:28
..his spies are inside your closest...
:28:31
Stop!
:28:34
I am his only worthy son, you crazed woman,
:28:41
he would never hurt me,
:28:44
Even if Eurydice had a boy, he'd be 20
before he would let him rule.
:28:49
Yes, and you would be 40,
:28:52
old and wise, like Parmenion, and Philip's young son would be 20,
:28:58
Like you, now. But raised by him.
