"Well, the best part of the story is that the pirates who kidnapped the Julius Caesar thought he was a commoner. They thought they were his equal. And because of this misconception, they asked for the same ransom of Julius Caesar that they would've asked for any Joe Schmo Roman. And this meant that Caesar was obligated to demand a raise in his ransom so that it would be commensurate with his position. And what does that tell us? Well. (Whispers in Ariel's ear) It tells us that royalty, even when at the mercy of peasants, is still royalty, isn't it? Doesn't it? (In normal voice) Now, what about that story, kids?"
