The Saardam, with her cargo of pepper, spices, thirst and three hundred souls between passengers and crew members, is ready to set sail for Amsterdam. A crossing not without pitfalls, among diseases, storms and pirates lurking in still largely unexplored oceans. With folded sails, the galleon welcomes in its belly the procession of passengers opened by Jan Haan, the governor general of Batavia. Riding a white stallion, followed by a crowd of courtiers and flatterers and four musketeers holding a heavy crate with mysterious contents, Haan stalks. In Amsterdam he will receive the coveted award for his services: he will be one of the enigmatic Seventeen of the board of directors of the Company. Just behind it advances the crowbar that houses Sara Wessel, his wife, a red-haired noblewoman decorated with precious gems and a well-kept secret in her heart, and Lia, her daughter, an unusually pale girl. This is followed by dignitaries and distinguished passengers, chamberlains, captains of the guard and viscountesses and, at the end, to close the procession, a man with dark curls stuck to his forehead and another with a shaved head and a flattened nose.
