Nice try, Your Majesty. I guess you have nothing to lose by trying, though I doubt if the Romans will be particularly supportive of your scheme!Plan B
Good plan...! If it had been carried out before she got nailed!Plan B
Soon pain and despair will make her delirious... Already she is clinging to an impossible hope...Plan B
The delirium will come beyond pain and despair. Then, the queen will be in her own world, imagining herself in a delirious world with the gods!Soon pain and despair will make her delirious... Already she is clinging to an impossible hope...
but also the crowd of ghosts of the crucified "criminals" around her, cheering for the fate the former queen is experiencing.
I'll stay here, watching you, supporting your fight, even if it's doomed to failure, against this inevitable end accompanied by so much horrible sufferings ...
Karma is a bitchAs the Queen thinks about the many she sentenced to die on the cross, the survivors of her victims savor her moments of agony.
The crucifier is now crucified
No wayDoes she want that to be remembered like that?
Yeah ..that is currently happening in most of the world's dictators and Junta leaders.All monarchs tended to believe they were divinely ordained to their position so naturally every decision she made was just and any action against her is injustice.
For me...reminds me of Burma, Russia, China & North Korea , mordern cruel monarchs.Gee, reminds me of a wanna-be American monarch. . . .
Zeus is so cruel ...The gods of Olympus look on the desperate and pleading Yupar from above:
Zeus speaks:
First she chooses crucifixion without even consulting our oracle or even a single priest from any of us.
She made the wrong choice, she was supposed to be a beacon of hope for the rebellion in 8 years time.
Now she suffers the cross, she finally remembers that we even exist.
Zeus looks around the assembled Olympians.
No one will interfere on her behalf, she choose to rely on her mortal mind.
Now let her deal with the consequences of her choice!
And when she dies? Can I admit her to my realm?
My dear Hades, bring her to me when the time comes, I will judge her myself!
I like that jokeOlympus looked down and said, "Oh my. A dying monarch!" Zeus replied, "Best kind."
Plan B
No Yupar, nobody can ( want ) help you !
The crowd is in respect for the Roman law !
View attachment 1415790 ... and you're not a Queen now !
I forget that reality on the crossNice try, Your Majesty. I guess you have nothing to lose by trying, though I doubt if the Romans will be particularly supportive of your scheme!
Life is strange sometimes....Good plan...! If it had been carried out before she got nailed!
True. The time to rise up and free her was when she was being marched through the streets. Now, the opportunity has passed.Good plan...! If it had been carried out before she got nailed!
The way the people look at her, is rather in shock! I doubt, whether such paralysed folks will dare to assault the Romans!
That's a swift reaction!Today's page
Good point! But, when making this appeal, I assume the queen is already overwhelmed by the pain and despair, narrowing her mind to a tunnel vision on herself!True. The time to rise up and free her was when she was being marched through the streets. Now, the opportunity has passed.
But, did she agree to be crucified rather than have her city destroyed? The people rising up to free her will just give the Romans an excuse do just that, thus making her sacrifice irrelevant.
Ummm....Today's page

I'll shout : "Long live the queen!"Ummm....
Yupar, Your Maj., you know I love you dearly, but I am a professional coward!
I m just human being..in reality of facing pain and death...my courage is gone.True. The time to rise up and free her was when she was being marched through the streets. Now, the opportunity has passed.

You ....come out and save me...Ummm....

What do you mean, centurion, that is an act of rebellion!?
I just put a step forward!You ....come out and save me...
I am calling you all ...by losing all my self control
Why...why dont you dare to save me !
Time for someone to reveal a hypothetical conspiracy involving a stunning woman and her equally stunning sister/mother/cousin in the crowd. I really wish I had been there in that crowd...An optio makes it clear for all :”Anyone who dares to come the queen to rescue, will be crucified, together with his or her nearest female relative! Wife, mother, sister, daughter, in that order! And if there is no female relative, we shall pick a random woman from the crowd! IS THAT CLEAR!?”
Very clear message..those Romans !I just put a step forward!
Two legionaries each hold the point of their pilum under my chin. Their looks make clear, I better should not mess with them. Whatever battle plan I had, it is now stuck! Maneuvering is impossible! With a forced smile, I say : “Hi guys!”
One of them immediately replies : “Listen you idiot! Don’t make a move and keep your mouth shut! Or you will find yourself nailed next to that pathetic queen of yours! That’s the only way of supporting her, we allow!”
(bloody dilemma!).
