Well, that's obvious. If you have power over your people, then it's up to you to make sure you're doing what's best for them. If there's something that threatens both you and your people, you have to give as much as you can to make sure they're being accommodated for. Your power, if you think about it, comes from the consent of the people, so they're your priority. I mean, if you being there and your power over them is what's making the best scenario for them, in your eyes, you should do what you can to keep yourself in that position, as well. But you have to think about what it is that the people are going to need to prosper, even if it means putting yourself at a personal risk! It's the risk that anyone in a position of power over others has, and it's not something that should be taken lightly at all.

Have you ever heard of the story of Damocles?
