Like the real ones, the Valverde are autonomous but have close ties to Spain. I haven't posted yet, but Lifa speaks Spanish as well as her own native tongue (tbd also) but uses English mostly. It's possible he may've heard of her simply because her marriage to the Duke, and afterward her presence on his ship, was a bit of a scandal. They were successful privateers but humble ones so if he heard of her it was probably because of hearing nasty gossip about her.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>With Spanish ties, they likely sailed under a Spanish flag.  He's never met her but he's certainly heard of her husband, the ship and the mutiny.  Old habits die hard, so he would consider her a natural enemy.<br/><br/>It's perfect set up for hate sex....
