Answer:
O Boadicea tells the Roman leader that she will speak with her sword.
Explanation:
Boadicea was a "Warrior Queen", a leader and Queen of the Iceni people. She was one of the famous warrior queens, a fierce leader in the history of Britain who helped defend the nation against the greedy hands of the Romans.
In "An Island Story: A History of England for Boys and Girls" by Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall, the story of Queen Boadicea is detailed. After the death of her husband, General Caractacus, his wife Boadicea was left to ensure a safe life for her and her two daughters. But amidst the greedy Romans' plans to attack and conquer their lands, and the treatment they had endured on their hands, Queen Boadicea led her people against the Roman conquerors. Her open declaration that<em> "It is better to die with honor than to live in slavery [...] I am a woman, but I would rather die than yield"</em> incited her people to revolt against their conquerors. And when the Roman ambassador came with a green branch, a peace deal, she remarked <em>"My sword alone shall speak to the Romans"</em>. She also bravely stated <em>"You shall have peace, peace, but no submission. A British heart will choose death rather than lose liberty. There can be peace only if you promise to leave the country."</em> Not only her words, but her act of inspiring and leading the men to revolt to the extent that the Romans offered a peace deal makes her a warrior and a fierce one at that.
