Cleopatra
Last Pharaoh of Egypt
“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Wrong question. Safety is not a strategy, it is merely a slower defeat. But neither do you gamble the treasury on charm alone. Make your idea indispensable to someone who already holds the gold, as I offered Rome grain it could get nowhere else. Stage one perfect entrance, secure a partner's need, and let their resources carry your risk.
A queen bets with other people's legions.
