Return To Paradise (Torres Family Saga) - Plot & Excerpts
the young spokesman said in an awestruck voice, kneeling before Rigo. Looking at the pitiful gaggle of worshippers, Rigo did not know whether to laugh at the irony of it or storm off in disgust for their craven servility. He had seen enough of such at the Spanish court of Carlos and thought the king a pathetic, horsefaced Hapsburg with a terrible speech impediment. Chuckling mirthlessly, he replied, “My brother told me I was the son of a royal princess, but I did not expect such worship. Stand up. I am not your king nor any man's ruler.” “But you are the son of the Golden Man, Don Aaron, and the Princess Aliyah. The only cacique left alive on all of Quisqueya is Guacanagari. You are his heir.” “I am no man's heir,” Rigo replied bitterly, reaching down to jerk the youth to his feet. He whistled to Peligro and handed the calabash back to the boy, eager to be quit of their primitive adulation. Small wonder the Spanish butchered them. They were sheep!
