A week after the burial of Don Fabian Casedona and the death of his wife and the missing heir and heiress of Casedona, Don Romualdo finally arrived.

In silence, Don Romualdo entered the Casedona mansion. In grief and sadness, Señora Margareth came near him and hugged him.

"They are attacking us, Father. Someone is planning to put us down." she said.

Don Romualdo pushed her away, "I will find my grandchild. I will find justice for my son." he said.

Don Romualdo went straight to his office and locked it. He felt scared, he felt sad, but he felt broken. Three of the most important people in his life are now gone. But something is gone too. The key of the Casedona treasure, before he went to Scotland Don Romualdo left the key of the family's wealth to his grand-daughter, Princess Theresa Casedona. Now that his grand-daughter is gone, the treasure is gone too.

He looked at his table when he saw a folded letter addressed to him. He opened it and his tears fell.

The Beloved father,

          I took your treasure to protect them. They are not safe at your mansion. There are monster that will kill them. They are horrible.

         Not everyone are allies, not everyone are enemies. Not all families are allies, not all allies are families. Be safe my beloved father as for the right time your treasure will be back hailing the name of Casedona.

         I am not a Casedona, but you once loved me. Don Fabian was my hero and I hope he is proud of me. I am sorry for for taking your treasure away but I will love them the way you ever loved me. You showed me everything, things that I will treasure, things that I will never forget.

       We will be back, and you will be proud. Do not have to grieve for, for we are alive. We love you, and never forget. As the time come, we will be back.

The missing identity,
Student of Don Fabian.

He smirked. He knows him, he felt scared for them but knows they will be back. Don Romualdo gathered the people of Sherlock.

"As you know the tragedy that happened to the Casedona family. Casedona will remain strong and powerful. People of Sherlock, do not be afraid, no one is attacking us. No one will, I promise you that we are all safe." Don Romualdo said.

Don Romualdo went inside the mansion.

"Father, would you mind teach my son how to be a good Casedona? A few years now, he will be your heir." Señora Margareth suggested.

"My son just died." Don Romualdo replied.

"How about my son, Father?" she asked, "Joaquin is the only Casedona that you have, Father." she reminded her.

Don Romualdo came to her and pat her shoulder, "Do you find your son smart?" He asked.

Señora Margareth nodded confidently, "Of course, Father. You never saw his abilities because you always look for Fabian." she said

"I know his ability, Margareth. You see, I have a good friend that told me, not all allies are family, and not all family are allies. Are you familiar with it?" Don Romualdo asked.

"I do not know what you are talking about, Father." she said.

"You do not have to." Don Romualdo said and went to his room.

Joaquin is his least favorite grand child. But he knows that Joaquin is capable and full of surprises. Now all he thinks is his grand daughter. He don't know how to be calm.
As a matter of fact, he is afraid as hell. He doesn't know if he will trust what that man is trying to say but he felt that he have to trust him.

Did Don Romualdo did the right thing?
