On the ramparts of Fort Liefkenhoek
On a dark and stormy night in November 1599, the alarm sounds at Fort Liefkenhoek on the Scheldt. Everyone, from the commanders to the soldiers, prepares themselves.
The waves are high, and the cold wind does not bode well for the Spaniards.
In Fort Lillo, too, the sound of drums and horns can be heard. Despite the storm, the sound of cannons can be recognized. This means there is a fight at sea.
The watergeusen are Dutch freedom fighters. They are active again.
The watergeusen are seafarers who fight for their freedom. They fear neither storm nor darkness. They even use these conditions to fight their enemies. The war has become very hard.
They have been fighting for 32 years and there are no signs that the war will end soon. Many brave people have risen up to fight. Even women have become tough. There are young people who have never known peace because there has always been war.
At sea, war is even worse than on land. At sea, there is no mercy. It is considered merciful to kill prisoners quickly. It is better than letting them die slowly and cruelly.
On the walls of Fort Liefkenhoek, commanders and soldiers listen to the cannons and consider who is fighting. Soon everyone is talking about the black galley.
They say it with a sense of fear and annoyance, “The black galley!”
At one o'clock the wind calms down and the cannons stop. But shortly afterwards, a red glow can be seen over the sea and then a huge explosion is heard. It seems as if the battle is over. After that, there are no further signs of fighting. No more shots are heard.
The commander of Liefkenhoek asks Captain Jeronimo what he thinks. Jeronimo is an older man with many scars. He just shrugs.
He says he no longer thinks about what the war brings. He has been wearing his armor for too long. It has become part of him. He will hold his post until it is over.
The commander is much younger and has only recently arrived. He finds Jeronimo very direct.
Captain Jeronimo tells the colonel that he has been holding his position here for a long time and has seen many commanders come and go. He used to believe in victory, too, but now he no longer does. He says the colonel will understand that too someday - if he lives long enough.
The colonel calls Jeronimo a dark dreamer and asks him if he was in Madrid when Antwerp was retaken. Jeronimo replies that he was there. But he was not present at the victory parade. Instead, he was chosen to bring the news of the surrender of Antwerp to King Philip. The colonel is impressed and wants to hear more about it.
The captain begins to tell his story. During the night of September 4-5, 1585, he arrives in Madrid, where he was born. He is breathless and very emotional when he hears the sound of the Manzanares River. He remembers hearing it before, especially once when he was ill. He brings important news and hopes for a great reward. The city and the castle are quiet because there was a big party the day before. Everyone is asleep, even the king. He holds up the letters to the guards and shouts that he has news from Flanders. He has news for the king, from Prince Alexander of Parma. They have won.
The guards let him through and courtiers take him to the king. He is very excited and tired when he hands the letters to the king. The king reads them. He looks very moved and shouts that Antwerp has been taken.
When the king reads the letter, the lamp also starts to tremble. The king gets up and leans on the soldier's shoulder. This is against the rules. A courtier puts a cloak around him. The king has not heard such good news since the victory at Lepanto. He quickly goes to his daughter's room, Donna Clara. He knocks and tells her that his army has taken Antwerp. The castle comes to life as the news spreads.
The commander asks Captain Jeronimo about his reward for delivering the message. The other officers also ask if he has been rewarded for his message.
Jeronimo says that he was not knighted.
