14 - Bad news

Early morning and the sun has warmed Salvador. Captain Pedro Afonso already entered the government-general of the headquarters for the long-awaited hearing. After the notice and authorization, entered in the official office.

- Good morning, Governor.

- Good morning Captain. Please sit. - He said, pointing to a chair.

The captain obeyed and waited patiently. The governor finished signing some papers and put them in a drawer, which closed the key.

- Well ... - he started the Governor - I thought a lot about it and ... - paused a long time to generate some suspense, but the captain continued cold as a block of ice - as I said ... I very good idea, but ... I decided to make some changes. Changes that will help a lot in fulfillment of party goals.

- Changes, Mr. Governor? - Asked suspiciously, the captain.

- Yes, captain changes.

- What kind, Mr. Governor? - He asked, worried.

- Let me explain. The delegation will be led by one of my men.

- But ... Governor ... You did not say that every man is important in the defense of our coast? And the French and the Dutch? - He argued.

- Yes, but you forgot that wild attacks are also part of the work of our soldiers? And that, for use Seal Real, you must be a king's right-hand man? Do you see any problem in having a soldier of confidence of His Majesty the entourage?

The ice had melted.

- Of course not, Mr. Governor. - He answered without transpire annoyance, and continued - in fact, it will be an honor.

- Great! - Said the official, getting up from the chair - Tomorrow, at the same time, bring your men who officiate the agreement.

- But Governor ... - he insisted Pedro Afonso - And if the army is the Spanish side?

- In this case, the seal is not necessary and the men will be only masters of the woods. So, captain, until tomorrow. - Took leave without giving chance response to the visitor.

Peter thanked him and left. I was very upset, but did not show it. I had to think of a way out to the meeting the next day. No He went to the house where he was staying, but to meet Francisco. He rode to the remote area of ​​the city, and came to the site, gave the good news to accomplice:

- And how we will act in this case, Captain?

- This is the easy part. Eliminate the man of the Governor, so finding the city.

- And we'll be dead as king of traitors? - Francisco said, taking a quick glance at Shada.

- Calm, Francisco. Use your imagination! The Governor's representative may have been captured by the Indians ...

- And I have yet to be killer!?! - He insisted.

- I'm surprised you, Francis! His reputation precedes him, but who says that man has to be killed? You can not be an accident? Get ready,

because tomorrow morning you will see the Governor and leave with his new traveling companion.

- Do you think that will be only one?

- Yes, the governor does not have enough men to defend the colony, but do not be fooled. It will be an officer of your trust. There is a young man in

high...

- You know him?

- Like you, Francisco, fame also precedes it. The delegation will have only three members, I believe there will be recruitments during trip and you should take care to always be at an advantage over him.

- In this regard, do not worry.

- Straighten up, wealth is knocking at the door. It is time, rest well, do your part and be a man very, very rich.

The captain stood up and left the house. When Francis was sure that the visitor was far away, and that was not spied on, it started talk with lackey:

- So, Shada?

- What do you think, Francisco?

- In one thing he hit: we will be richer than the Pope ... But I do not believe he will see the color of this money.

- Do you think he suspects?

- He thinks he's too powerful, but only the land is in the Portuguese colony!

- Another trip awaits us ...

- Yes, only it will be much better!
