AsĀ agreed,Ā heādĀ come in disguise and unarmed. No one knew he was here.Ā
āYour little love notes were cute. Did youĀ requireĀ ever ship to have the same note posted for me to the mast?āĀ SandokanĀ sat in the chair, putting his feet up on theĀ desk, not even trying to hide his disdain for his father-in-law in name only.Ā āYouāve been asking to speak to me.ā The pirateĀ flippantlyĀ waived his hand. āWell? Speak.āĀ
LordĀ GuillonkāsĀ face went red with irritation. āFor the last two years asĀ youāveĀ wagged war againstĀ myselfĀ and Sultan Brooke, Marianne has been spotted at your side at every turn. Now sheĀ hasnātĀ been spotted on your shipĀ for over four months. Did you kill my daughter?āĀ
SandokanĀ stared off into the distance for a moment clearly deciding on what answer to give this man who tried to have his wife locked in an insane asylum.Ā Marianne had made her wishes clear on what her father was and was not to know about herĀ condition,Ā butĀ SandokanĀ knew it would destroy the manĀ to know.Ā āMarianneās safe at home. She agreed it was best for the time being.āĀ
LordĀ GuillonkāsĀ hand slammed on the desk. āThatāsĀ a lie! If she ran away fromĀ Labuan for herĀ freedomĀ there is no way my daughter would stay in some jungle hut for you.āĀ
SandokanĀ sighed. This manĀ didnātĀ understand his daughter at all. āAbout six months ago,Ā Marianne asked me for something. I granted her request.āĀ SandokanĀ leaned over the desk. āCongratulations. Your bloodline is continuing.ā he refused to call the man a grandfather.Ā
