"May St. James of Compostela bless you." "You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen." "Thank you." "My child, this belonged to your grandmother." "From now on it is yours." "Oh father, it's beautiful." "Do you think I will create a stir at the court of Spain?" "." "A stir?" ", they'll be overwhelmed they are certainly not expecting that such a beauty could come from the colonies." "But remember my child, the most important thing is that you are happy..." "I will be happy Magdalena, but just think, Madrid, the Court of Spain with a handsome husband by my side." "All my dreams will have come true." "Hurry up now the bride and groom leave immediately after the ceremony." "Your lordship you must excuse me, I was going through the dowry list of our distinguished Señorita Estrella and..." "Please don't bother us now with these details I am not interested." "But your lordship, since you will be administrating all my daughter's properties..." "Fernández is my administrator, you may discuss it with him." "Fernández by the way, won't you prepare a letter for his majesty?" ", I'll sign it later his majesty will surely not deny a title of nobility to the father of my bride." "Oh, how can I thank you." "Oh it's not necessary, and call me Enrique." "Why...how did this happen?" "." "Well it was an unfortunate encounter... with buccaneers." "Excuse me once more, I just found these credit bonds." "Oh yes, those are credit bonds from the bank of San Domingo of Zaragoza, I thought while in Spain you..." "Well I'm sorry but I only want to point out that it's difficult for us to go to Zaragoza." "All our holdings are in Madrid." "However the bonds should be safer...should you be attacked by pirates." "Since we ran them off the island of Tortuga, the pirates are finished in any case my presence will keep them at a distance..." "I left them souvenirs much worse than this." "If this is so I will have no difficulty changing those bonds in to good sound money." "Pardon me, would you please follow?" "." "Stay where you are!" "." "Take him away!" "." "This is worth..." "I'll take that." "200 escudos." "The value of this is 400 escudos." "How much do we have?" "." "About 50,000 escudos not counting the men's share." "Not bad." "Not good, we need more than that to fit out a fleet and retake Tortuga." "The risk was at a minimum." "Nearly ending up with a wife, don't you consider that a risk?" ", and for what?" "." "50,000 escudos, my father used to take ten times that with only one raid everything's changed." "Will we ever see the good days again?" "." "We're working to regain them." "Shall I choose another name?" "." "I'm tired of courting, I want to fight." "Then again, we've run out of brides haven't we?" "." "There remains Conchita del Mar, in Santa Cruz." "She's as ugly as a witch!" "." "But she's covered with gold, 100,000 in dowry and another in jewelry." "No, I much prefer the risk of boarding a Spanish galleon." "A Spanish galleon with this small crew?" "." "With Conchita's money we can fit out a new ship, and enlist a fine strong crew." "But, how can one be in love with her?" "." "You must sacrifice a little, you must if you want our flag to wave again on the island of Tortuga as it did in your father's days." "Or are you not capable?" "." "Very well...have them set our course to Santa Cruz." "I already have." "What?" "." "El Gringo and Sánchez have proceeded us there to start their work." "So you took care of everything." "Yes." "They'll be at Perico's tavern, by this time they must have spread the news throughout the town that his illustrious Lordship, Don Almedo de Alcázar, Duke of Navarre Grandee of Spain, intimate friend of his most gracious majesty..." "You drunken boar!" ", speak up will you!" ", what do you want here!" ", why are you snooping around!" "?" "." "Let me take care of him Perico, this will even make the devil speak!" "." "No...only wine will get the truth out of him." "Look, we're honest men, we don't want to harm you but we are curious to know why a nobleman from the governor's courts such as you comes to this out of the way tavern." "I told you, I like your wine." "Well, have some more then." "There's no charge, it's on the house!" "." "Do you know what we call people like you where I come from?" "... ...spies!" "." "Oh no, I'm not one of those, you're wrong." "What are you doing here?" ", talk!" "." "I'm waiting...for someone...a woman." "Who is the woman?" "." "She's making a long journey." "For you?" "." "No...she's one who interests she interests someone high up." "Who?" "." "The governor." "Is that the truth?" "." "Perico the guards!" "." "Hide him, quickly!" "... ...put him in the barrel!" "." "Sweet dreams." "Open up!" "." "Yes!" ", yes!" ", yes!" "." "Who is it?" "... ...the tavern's closed!" "." "Open up or we'll break down the door!" "." "This is no hour for carousing!" ", get to bed!" "." "Open in the name of the governor!" "." "Alright, one moment...one moment!" "." "Where is he?" "." "Who?" "." "The nobleman who came in here." "Where is he?" "." "Here?" ", there's no nobleman here." "Ah, officer, would you care for a glass of wine?" "." "Quiet you!" "...search everywhere." "This is a respectable tavern!" "...tranquil, all decent clientele...there must be some mistake." "I thought you were closed." "Oh, just my friends officer, having a friendly little game." "It's new wine, it's fermenting." "Quiet!" "." "The wine fermenting hey?" "...you, break it open!" "." "What's going on here?" "...it's impossible to sleep." "Can you imagine these drunks!" ", they're even sleeping in barrels now!" "." "You're under arrest!" "." "Me?" "..." "I haven't done anything, just because you find a poor drunk here you want to arrest me?" "... ...what for?" "." "Take this man!" "." "Hey you...bring me another bottle of wine." "Hold your ground men!" ", we're here!" "." "Come on!" ", who's next?" "!" "." "Teach them a lesson!" ", that's good Perico!" "." "Let's get out of here!" ", follow me!" "." "Get out!" ", and hurry up!" "... ...Sánchez, give them a hand!" "... ...let there be none left!" "... ...well, will he survive?" "." "Oh, he'll live!" "." "Be careful there!" ", what do you think I am?" ", a horse?" "." "Shut up!" ", you're always grumbling, what's a little crack in the head?" "." "Look at her!" ", she's a pretty girl!" "." "What's she doing in a place like this?" "." "Sit down or I'll give you another crack in the head!" "." "Surrender Perico!" "." "Please come in señorita, I can assure you're quite safe." "Are you a pirate?" "." "A pirate?" "." "That's what those soldiers said." "Do you really believe that twenty of the king's soldiers would flee before one pirate?" "doesn't it seem more logical that twenty pirates disguised as soldiers fled before a nobleman in the service of his king?" "." "Don Almedo de Alcázar, a representative of his gracious majesty who places his most humble services at your feet." "My name is Soledad Quintero." "Soledad, what a delightful name, you're not Spanish are you?" "." "I'm the daughter of a colonist from the interior." "There is not a princess in the world who would not envy your...your eyes..." "Paquita, please help this charming young lady." "Do you have a room for the night?" "." "For you señorita we have the most beautiful room in the inn, and for him..." "Tarsarios need no room, Tarsarios sleep outside door of señorita." "As you wish." "He's faithful." "Captain!" ", all is well, they ran like rabbits..." "I mean to say...that everything's in order your grace." "Very good Fernández!" ", innkeeper drinks for everybody!" "." "Why do your men call you captain?" "." "Oh well, it's an old naval custom, once I commanded one of the king's galleons and these men were members of my crew." "The duke won't be forgotten by those buccaneers!" "..." "Oh señorita, the duke is quite a blade!" ", with a sword that is." "Behave yourself!" "." "Look at him, unlike himself, she has him dazzled." "We must tell him she interests the governor." "It wouldn't make a difference, for him the harder the conquest, the more effort he puts." "Please, what must I do to convince you that you should dine with me, slay a dragon, conquer an empire?" "." "But you didn't even know me half an hour ago." "A single moment can change a life." "Señorita your room is ready." "Well then?" "." "I shall be down in time for dinner." "Paquita, señorita Quintero shall dine with me." "All this house has to offer is at your disposal your grace." "Pedro, let's get out of here." "That girl interests the governor." "Really, what a curious coincidence, she also interests me." "Too many days without news, we were promised to know something by today, but it's night and still no message we can't wait forever." "We must be patient Rosita, you know this matter is much too important...we may have to postpone our wedding." "Oh, no." "This dissatisfies me too, it is a grand sacirifice." "But we have already sent out all the invitations." "I am trying to bring this affair to a satisfactory conclusion, for your sake Rosita, so that you can live as a queen..." "Clifford you're drunk!" "." "I cannot entrust none of you." "They must have drugged my wine, that tavern is a nest of pirates." "That is not the information I requested from you." "Had the girl arrived?" "." "She was outside when we left." "As you've heard, I wasn't mistaken..." "We must leave for the inn immediately." "And now disappear!" "." "Pedro quick, the governor and his men are on their way here at least thirty and well armed." "Here, quick run." "And you?" "." "Don't worry, I always manage..." "Paquita!" "... ...we have a visit!" "." "It'll be best to open the door." "Open up!" "." "Just a moment!" "." "I order you to open!" "." "The innkeeper and his accomplice." "Leave them for now." "Princess Soledad, lady of Darién." "Alfonso di Montélimar, governor of Santa Cruz welcomes you on your return from Spain." "Why, how do you know my identity?" "." "Your late lamented grandfather was my dear friend and a most important friend for Spain, pardon me therefore if I permit myself a gentle reproach..." "It was not wise of you to this place because of it's isolated and discrete location." "It is not worthy of your position and in addition, it is very difficult to remain incognito." "Do not forget, you are the heiress to an immense fortune inherited from your late grandfather." "I know." "You're very rich now, and it is my duty to protect you until you arrive in Darién, and so princess I beg you to accept my hospitality and protection." "Thank you, but I must leave for Darién tomorrow, men of my tribe are expecting me to escort me to the village." "Believe me I make this offer as a most sincerest friend, you will never reach the border safely alone." "Tomorrow to celebrate his majesty's birthday I am holding a party." "Leave some for me." "You shall be my guest of honour, later when you wish to leave I shall escort you to the Darién border personally." "And now my dear Clifford, you can settle your accounts with the innkeeper." "Thank you sir arrest him!" "... ...take him away!" "." "What I would like to point out is that I don't care about the dowry, but I do care about my daughter's happiness your excellency." "Unfortunately, your case is not the first report of such an occurence." "Really?" "." "What I find strange is that they always kidnap the bridegroom!" ", I can understand about the dowry, but what on earth do they want with the bridegroom?" "..." "Tell me, can you describe Don Enrique de Almaviva?" "." "Distinguishable." "Tall, dark, elegant, and for some strange reason he had to sail immediately for Spain." "Yes." "Did you notice anything particular about him?" "." "No, just a scar." "On his right hand, between the thumb and the index finger." "How do you know this?" "." "Well it may just be a coincidence, these pirates all seem to resemble eachother." "Whatever are you thinking of dear?" "..." "Oh don't be alarmed, Rosita has a very vivid imagination, I trust you will stay for the feast." "Oh thank you my lord, but I'd rather return to my daughter, she's alone, she might do something foolish." "Yes, I understand." "Lady Rosita, your humble servant do what you can please." "Rest assured I shall let him look for his own missing bridegroom." "As far as I am concerned the pirates can conquer the whole colony, we shall be far away, very very rich, and very happy." "Look at me Rosita, are you content?" "." "I understand that halfbreed of yours is rather pretty." "You're not jealous are you?" "." "After all we postponed our wedding, because of this trip you're taking with her." "But I must go with her..." "She's the only one who can guide me to the treasure, and that shall be my wedding gift to you." "Forgive me, you are right." "But I certainly hope this will not change our plans." "I have heard that in this garden there's a spot where one may admire a wonderful panorama, could you lead me there?" "." "Certainly your grace." "I am a painter." "This way please." "Feast in honour of princess, you must return." "Oh Tarsarios it's so beautiful here...you know, I always feel like a stranger among them..." "I would rather be with our own people." "Father had been great man, good friend for Indian but he white man, want daughter be white too." "We go back now." "Oh let's go on walking." "Here you are your grace." "Ah, it's beautiful." "She's coming." "Ah, at school in Spain we seldom went for walks." "Good evening princess." "Are you a ghost?" "...you seem to disappear and reappear without warning." "On the contrary, I'm mere flesh and blood with a heart that's beating...much, much too fast tell me señorita, why did you lie to me?" "." "Have I lied?" "." "Why didn't you tell me Soledad Quintero is also the princess of Darién?" "." "Do you usually hide behind doors and eavesdrop?" "." "Behind doors?" ", I'm a gentleman..." "I was on the roof I was watching over you up there being your guardian angel, and believe me you were in need of one." "You are in grave danger." "I?" ", on the contrary." "It would seem as if it is you who needs help." "Possibly, but I have decided to accompany you to the feast." "Would you mind leaving us alone?" "." "As you wish." "I beg you forgiveness for last night, it was not easy to leave you alone with Don Alfonso di Montélimar, but I did it for you to avoid an unpleasant incident in your presence..." "You see the governor's family and mine have hated eachother for years." "And yet you come here under such circumstances?" "." "The governor doesn't know me personally, it's my poor father he hates most of all." "Then why did you flee last night?" "." "I would have had to introduce myself with a false name, that's something an Alcázar would never do." "But how do you plan to avoid what happened yesterday today?" "." "There have been many new developments since yesterday do you think it's possible a man can see the light in your eyes, hear the sound of your voice and forget you so easily?" "... ...and, to know that you were in danger and not come to your aid at whatever the cost?" "." "What danger?" "." "If the governor has offered to escort you to the border it's only because he wants to keep you and your treasure under his control...you will become his prisoner." "Soledad come away with me." "Why should I trust you?" "." "If you could read my heart...you wouldn't have any doubts." "Alright that's enough, he'll stay put for a while." "Come on let's go." "Why did you leave me?" "." "You not tell me to stay." "Soledad, where have you been?" "." "I was worried about you." "Please excuse me, it's been so long since I felt so free." "I must say it certainly agrees with you." "You look simply delightful." "Thank you." "May I have the honour?" ", I hope you will enjoy my reception, among other things I've arranged for a tournament...since I have placed my sword at your disposal it might do well for you to realize it's full value." "Hey men, Spanish wine, the best." "Sent by his excellency." "Give it here." "Hey leave me some." "For you as well." "Thank you." "It's magnificent!" "." "Enjoy it." "Are you ready your excellency?" "." "Yes." "And you your grace?" "." "When you are." "Don Ricardo Cortés, will you request princess Soledad to reward the winner with this?" "." "The man who disarms his adversary is the winner..." "Whenever you are ready gentlemen." "Hurry up." "Does anyone wish to challenge the winner?" "." "I would like to try." "I announce that the winner is his excellency Don Alfonso di Montélimar, governor of Santa Cruz." "One moment!" "." "With whom do I have the honour?" "." "Don Almedo de Alcázar." "Are you by any chance the son of the Duke of Navarre?" "." "In person, just arrived from Spain." "Your father did not advise me of your arrival." "I have come directly to pay my respects." "I am one of your father's sincerest admirers." "And I consider his sons friendship an honour however I shall have to disarm you, I cannot afford to lose face in front of guest of honour A sword for his grace Don Almedo de Alcázar!" "." "At your discretion gentlemen." "Perico." "At last." "It looks like they've treated you well." "Twenty five lashes, them bastards." "Quickly, they'll be changing the guards soon." "Are you alright to walk?" "." "You'll find out if anyone tries to stop me!" "." "For you, as an old friend of my father's I grant another attempt." "You are very confident in yourself Don Almedo de Alcázar." "Pedro here!" "." "I'm the winner, and I have a right to this, princess." "Be careful!" "...escape!" "." "Let's go." "After him, you imbecils!" "..." "I want him dead or alive!" "." "Under a new treaty the Spaniards cannot enter the Darién territory." "The meeting between Soledad and the Indians must take place somewhere here there is no other place, the boat will land on the coast with a few men, from then on it is my affair." "You Fernández will sail the ship into this innlet near Port Suárez." "Be careful, there's a large Spanish garrison in the fort that overlooks the bay." "Yes, I know." "I'll be sending you further instructions from thereon." "Will you employ your usual tactics?" "." "Certainly, they're most effective." "And this time even enjoyable." "Dinner is served!" "." "Excellent Paquita, we're finally getting some good cooking on this ship!" "." "Do you like it?" "." "Clifford, prepare to move out." "Very well sir." "You look even more beautiful in your Indian dress princess." "In about an hour I shall meet the men of my tribe, I want them to see me in our traditional costume." "You seem very happy." "Shouldn't I be?" "." "Yes, but I shall soon leave you." "Oh, I'm forever grateful to you." "Please, don't thank me, it is like bidding farewell Princess, please believe that these last few days with you have convinced me that you are the woman for me..." "If you wish, I'll come with you and send my soldiers back." "I have a ship at Port Suárez which can take us to the ends of the earth, wherever you wish." "You are too young and beautiful to languish in a small village..." "What you need is a man at your side to guide you...to make you the most envied woman on this earth." "Your excellency, we are ready to depart." "Alright let's go then." "Forward, let's move." "I can't help but repeat that I am most thankful." "See no smoke, no signal." "Maybe we should wait for them." "I leave them here, waiting." "Before I leave to find princess." "Clifford, what do you think?" "." "I don't like this one bit your excellency." "Sergeant, have the men spread out and advance cautiously." "Fetch governor." "Your excellency!" "...we've found them, hurry!" "." "All killed by musquets." "Come Soledad...under such circumstances I can't let you proceed alone." "Who could have done this?" "." "Pirates!" ", at the tavern, they attacked my men who were waiting for you." "Here they have killed your people, they seek you and your treasure..." "However you must not worry, me and my men will protect you." "Soledad!" ", seize that horse!" "." "Never mind me!" ", get the princess!" "... ...Clifford, search this area, beat every bush!" "." "This didn't fall from a tree!" "." "Let me go you coward!" ", take me back at once!" "." "I don't intend to." "The governor will have you hung." "You won't frighten me so easily." "There they are!" "." "Have you found anything?" "." "Pirates know how to hide tracks, learn from Indians." "Don't just stand there you idiots!" "..." "My horse!" ", bring me my horse!" "." "In ten minutes it'll be ready!" "." "Mm, good work Perico..." "Remember, I want a good dinner worthy of your inn." "It's a shame Paquita isn't here." "You must be tired, why don't you rest?" "." "Don't waste your time on courtesy with me..." "Go to my people at the village and deliver your dirty proposal." "Ask for Talaco, a sorcerer, he'll give you the treasure in exchange for my life." "Well that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of it..." "Who suggested it?" ", the governor?" "." "What do want from me?" "." "I took the liberty of coming because you owe me the pleasure of a dinner..." "You accepted my invitation before, I don't see why you should refuse now." "What?" ", have you forgotten what has occurred since then?" "." "Nothing serious I would say..." "Here we are, safe and sound." "You are safe and sound, you've had the devil on your side up to now." "Well perhaps the devil has helped me, we are old friends, but he can't take all the credit..." "Remember?" "." "Stop playacting!" "..." "You are nothing but a filthy pirate!" ", incapable of any feeling, except when it involves money or murder!" "." "Listen to me Soledad, my real name is Pedro Valverde...and had you lived among your people, this name would mean something to you, my father fought the Spaniards side by side with the Indians." "Your father perhaps..." "But you didn't hesitate to stain your hands with their blood!" "." "Who's blood?" "." "Who's blood!" "?" ", you killed the Indians who were to escort me!" "." "Soledad have you gone mad!" "?" ", listen to me and come to reason, I had no motive to kill those people!" "." "We pirates recognize no boundaries, the Spaniards however signed a treaty to keep out of your territory!" ", it's evident the governor needed a pretext for escorting you to the village!" "." "Why that's absurd, you forget you are the pirate!" "." "What I had forgotten was that the brain of a woman isn't capable of reason..." "But I swear I'll show you proof of the truth, even at the cost of my life." "Ah Clifford, found anything?" "." "Nothing...they've disappeared." "It's not that serious, it's obvious they'll make for the village, that's where the treasure is and that's what they're after." "You don't intend to go to the village!" ", that could lead to an incident, we must respect the treaty." "We must cut them off before they arrive." "That way we can enter the village as saviours of the princess." "But the Indians have always been friends with pirates." "They won't this time, not after we convince them they killed her Indian escort." "Good night sir." "You'll be cold Do you need anything?" "... ...why don't you rest on the hammock?" "." "I'm quite comfortable here thank you." "Oh it's you, it didn't take you long to find us." "Always know how to find tracks when covered Indian way." "Tarsarios left Spaniards, Spaniards must not go to village." "Good work Tarsarios, I like you." "However your mistress doesn't know how to distinguish between bandits and gentlemen." "Old Indians say, gentlemen always have a little of the bandit, bandits always have a little of the gentlemen." "Tarsarios!" "...take me away, let us leave together, or will you stop me?" "." "You are my guest, not my prisoner." "I wanted only to protect you." "I do not wish to be protected by anyone." "One man as trusted as Tarsarios is the only sure escort." "Do as you wish." "But remember my men are risking their necks to show who are the real culprits!" "." "I think you should at least wait until they return." "Night now, all tired." "Better to sleep." "Yes...thank you." "This isn't any fun Gringo, when they whipped me, they almost tore my skin off!" ", harder!" "." "Go on Gringo...until he decides to talk!" "." "Stop!" "...enough of this!" "." "Stop." "You are nothing but a band of assassins!" ", capable of only attacking defenseless men!" "...is this how you think you can pass for a gentleman?" "... ...Whoever is capable of this is capable of anything, of killing, of lying." "Calm yourself princess, if you could have intervened every time this man has had innocent people whipped, you'd have saved many lives Soledad." "Our friend Perico knows something of this..." "In any case, he could have avoided..." "It's too easy to make people confess this way, perhaps if the whip were in other hands you would be the one to confess." "But Soledad you must believe me." "I don't believe anything nor anyone, much less you." "Now let me go." "I insist that you let me escort you to the village." "No, if you don't want my contempt, free this man." "Untie him." "Water...water..." "I beg you." "Perico fetch some water That's enough!" "." "Under different circumstances, I would have told the princess something very interesting." "Go ahead speak!" "..." "I have nothing to fear." "I shall, when the whip is in my hands." "It has been in your hands for too long..." "Take the water and leave!" ".." "Now!" "... ...Perhaps you would like to follow him and protect him from the perils of the forest." "This may complicate things." "Forget her Pedro." "We had better return to the ship." "Are you mad?" "...everything's going perfectly." "Easy...easy!" "." "He might have hurt you, I was just passing this way, don't worry I'm leaving immediately." "I only wanted to warn Tarsarios that the Chivas are wandering about the forest, hunting for game or for some victim for their rites..." "Goodbye and have a pleasant journey." "We best leave here." "Don't you think perhaps in order to arrive safely in your village, my presence can help?" "... ...Tarsarios, you tell her that she can never make it alone." "So be it..." "But I do not wish to owe you anything." "How much do you want to be my escort?" ", I'll buy your services." "I'm not for sale...you may pay for the incidentals." "I said I'll pay you, how much?" "." "If you insist, I shall be very expensive princess..." "Half of the treasure." "You'll have what you want." "I would have done it for nothing because I love you, but since you insist on buying me." "Chivas will return..." "They are many, very many." "If we don't get a move on, they'll cut us to pieces." "To the horses, let's go Tarsarios." "Rise." "Soledad, legitimate heiress of the great Cachica, you are our queen." "We are waiting your commands." "These men have escorted me here, protecting me from many dangers, the prize for their help is half of our treasure Pay them and dismiss them." "I'm sorry to disappoint you princess, as far as I'm concerned you can keep your treasure and live happily..." "I only wanted to escort you safely to your village and this is done." "My mission is finished When a woman is as beautiful as you your highness, she shouldn't be too rich, for she ends up understanding nothing!" "..." "Goodbye Would you really like to marry a pirate?" "." "Look at that son of a pirate!" "." "Not half the treasure, but all of it!" "." "Quiet, show some respect!" "." ""The Spaniards shall be defeated, we shall conquer the island of Tortuga"" "Pedro!" ", a toast for the conquest of Tortuga!" "." "That was quite a kiss you gave the princess!" "." "That'll be enough!" "." "Is everything alright?" "." "Of course, very well, we're going to marry." "Do you call that alright?" "." "It doesn't concern you!" "." "Don't get angry." "We must return to the ship and inform Fernández." "Agreed." "It would be better to dress as Spaniards, we've got the uniforms right?" "." "Why as Spaniards?" "." "To save our own skin!" "." "Quiet!" "..." "Who gives the orders here?" "..." "I will give the orders tomorrow, and you will pass them on to Fernández..." "That's all." "Don't move!" ", keep calm!" "." "What are you doing!" "?" "...what do you want!" "?" "." "That's him!" ", I recognize him!" ", the scoundrel!" "." "What do you want?" "." "How dare you?" "." "You broke your promise." "You crossed river, violated treaty." "I have reasons." "What reasons do you have?" "." "To prevent this man from committing another infamous act." "Six times under false names he has led rich young girls to the altar, and six times he's managed to escape with the dowry." "It can't be true, Pedro tell me it's not true." "This time it was different." "Yes this time it's different, because I'm here in stead of your pirate friends." "You've lied to me." "You've always lied to me..." "I should turn you over to my people so that they do justice to you." "Justice will be done princess." "Once you asked for my hand in marriage, if the proposal still holds I'm ready to accept." "You make me the happiest man in the world princess Soledad." "It will be an honour until our ceremony to have you as my guest at my castle in Port Suárez..." "Take him away!" "." "This will be a worthy warning for those pirates!" "." "Yes, it will be quite a spectacle." "Governor not good, Pedro is good." "We are prisoners here." "Who's there?" "..." "Rosita, what are you doing here?" "." "Hadn't we agreed that I should meet you here in Port Suárez?" "." "Yes of course but, I didn't expect you so soon." "I see well there were strange rumours about you in Veracruz, they said you had fallen into hands of the pirates, that they'd killed you..." "I was worried Aren't you happy to see me?" "." "Of course darling you know I am." "I never thought your ambitions could go so far." "What do you mean?" "." "You know what I mean, I heard there will be a wedding here tomorrow." "Of course darling, ours." "Ours?" "...or yours to that..." "Princess Soledad!" "." "Rosita, don't you understand I've...to get that treasure..." "Rosita listen to me, I..." "I've heard enough!" "..." "Don't use your well known charm on me again!" "... ...that's over!" "... ...You'll have to choose between her and me, now!" "... ...Can't you see that your childish infactuation for that cheap little princess only makes you look ridiculous!" "?" "." "Enough!" "... ...You bore me...destiny has brought a beautiful young woman into my life, exceedingly rich, a woman who loves me." "Can you understand that?" ", a woman who loves me." "Does she?" "." "What have you ever given me besides your stupid jealousy?" "..." "I suggest you leave at once, or I'll have to use force." "That won't be necessary." "Where are you going?" "." "I bring a message from the governor for princess Soledad." "Why dagger, why not friend?" "." "I hate you!"
