We're talking about this section:
Alexander: What am I to do now?
Queen Mother: Go on to the bitter end.
Alexander: Will the end be bitter?
Queen Mother: Yes.
Alexander: Why must it be?
Queen Mother: Because you are Alexander. Your devil will conquer you.
She knows what he's like - a driven character, the kind of obsessive personality that has to keep trying to conquer the world, and will "crash and burn" rather than slow down - and that this will definitely happen because that's his unalterable nature.
