"With every crown comes the Guillotine. Without the guillotine you can not wear the crown. And it was my fate. But, why does one have to put somebody under the guillotine? Because of their strength. They want to destroy their strength. And inspit of guillotine they still haven't kilked me yet. They haven't killed my spirit yet. No matter where I go I Will always wear a crown." While I'm not afraid of being under guillotine,"
