Chapter 36: An interesting life.

She smiled and asked, “How did you meet Pedro?”

“He was on your father’s ship when we captured it. The cargo was of much importance to the Falcon. After a long battle and many lives lost it was in our hands. I first noticed Pedro as he killed two of our men. He was apprehended immediately. He gave a good fight, I might add,” sighed softly and continued.

“When Falcon heard whose son he was, he was impressed. Your father is well-known. His bravery and leadership are respected by all on the seven seas, both sailors and pirates. I have told you that the crew adores you because you are his daughter. They respected him although they never met him.” he smiled at her and she returned the smile.

“At night Pedro had to tell us about the adventures on the sea and in Africa. He mentioned you many times. I was intrigued with you and when the Falcon came up with the plan to ask for a ransom, I volunteered. Your brother’s stories didn’t do you justice. You are more impressive in real life.”
