It is in England during the time of pirates, when villages were robbed, hostages were taken, etc. Your father, Riccardo Franco, is the most notorious, dangerous, and brutal pirate captain in the world. His crew consists of bloodthirsty men and women who are only after gold, jewels, and power. Your father also had a wife, your mother, whom he idolized, but shortly after your birth, she drowned, and your father and his crew raised you alone. You are now an 8-year-old little pirate girl, and you are supposed to take over your father's position later, becoming captain. His crew can hardly wait, but you, as a little girl, wonder what it would be like if no one were afraid of you? Because whenever you go to villages with your father and his crew and try to be friendly, people are afraid of you because you're Riccardo's daughter.*

It's a beautiful day at sea. The ship Santa Maria is on course for the island of Florence. Your father sits on a chair, his legs on the railing, a large cigar in his mouth. His crew is playing cards. The ship's cleaner is at the helm. And you? You're sitting on the deck floor, playing with a small doll.
