The Heiress of Casedona

Chapter Five : Sherlock Town

*11 years later

Anna is now a lady. She is one of the most beautiful lady living in Aragona. But there is something that bothers her, the letter 11 years ago.

"Brother, I always wanted to go to Sherlock." Anna requested.

Joseph looked mad at her, "How many times do I have to tell you that you are not going to Sherlock! Are you not contented to our life that I am giving you?!" Joseph asked.
Anna felt sorry, "Of course I am contented. It's just that something is troubling me. Do you remember that letter, Brother? Who is he?" Anna asked.

"Father's enemy I supposed. You see, our father is a noble man here in Aragona but not in Sherlock! Yes, he is the right hand of Don Fabian but he is not as good as him. Please for goodness sake, Anna." Joseph said as he prepared his things for his travel.

Anna hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, "I am sorry, brother. Please don't be mad at me." she said.

Joseph smiled, "You really know how to make me smile. Now, can you promise me that you will not gonna ask me about Sherlock or about that letter you received 11 years ago?" Joseph asked.

Anna hugged him, "As you wish. I promise." she said.

Joseph kissed her forehead, "I'll be back in the next 4 days my sister. I have left enough food for you. I love you, sister." he said

"I love you too, brother." she said.

Joseph left. He is going to the city of Angora, do some merchants things. But something is not right according to Anna. Something is bothering her, she feels that there is something about Sherlock that she needs to find out. There is something in that town that she have to know, something connected to her.

Anna decided to go to her friend Gaston Dolores, she knows that Gaston is familiar about every town in their country. Gaston is a much of a traveller. The Dolores family became the friends of the Feliciz, it is because Joseph Feliciz is a great merchant also because of Anna's talent of creating a magnificent dress, she became the favorite lady of Señora Agatha Dolores, mother of Gaston.

Anna finally arrived at the Dolores's Mansion.

"Howdy, Miss Feliciz! Is there anything I can help you?" the Dolores's guard asked.

"Is Gaston there?" Anna asked.

He nodded, "Yes, Miss Feliciz. As a matter of fact, Don Gaston just arrived from Lucia. He also told me that he is in the office if you will pay a visit just go straight to his office." he said.

Anna smiled, "Thank you so much." she said.

Anna entered the Dolores's mansion. Dolores are one of the most glamorous family in this town. But my brother never trust them, they are vicious and cruel. The Feliciz family are just lucky because Joseph is intelligent. Señora Agatha were at the lobby.

"What a foolish servant! My dress is much valuable than you! I am firing you, right now!" Seńora Agatha yelled at the maid.

"I am sorry, Madame. Please don't fire me." the maid was begging.

"I just did!" Señora Agatha said and looked at the direction where Anna is and she smiled, "Oh finally! Anna is here. I love the dress that you created for me. It is fabulous, I will use it for Margareth's birthday at Sherlock." Seńora Agatha said.

Anna looked to her, "At Sherlock? When?" She asked.

"Tomorrow silly. Do you want to come? Gaston is coming with me." she said.

"Can I?" Anna asked.

Agatha smiled, "Of course! You know what, I want to make Margareth jealous. If she knows that you are the one who creates my fabulous clothes she will fire her stylist. That could be wonderful." Agatha said excitedly.

Anna felt happy because she can find answers to her questions. Furthermore, her brother will not know about this because her brother Joseph is in Angora doing some merchant's stuff.

"Thank you, Señora Agatha." Anna said.

"Of course it has a price!" Agatha giggled, "You have to create a new design! Bring it on Thursday, alright?" Agatha said.

"Yes Señora." Anna replied.

"My son is at his office. I have to go and see the Duchess." she said and left.

The maid is still crying but Anna came closer, "I need an assistant." she smiled.

"Miss Feliciz..." the maid said.

"You know where our house is right? Go there on Monday okay?" Anna said.

Anna went to the office of Gaston.

Gaston smiled, "I heard my mother's voice. She really love your work." Gaston said.

Anna smiled, "Yeah. She even requested another piece." Anna said.

"Is there something bothering you? Or that letter again that you can't forget?" Gaston asked.

Gaston knows everything. He is the best friend of Anna, ever since. Anna told Gaston about the letter and Gaston is always telling him to believe what his brother has to say because it is just a letter.

"Like I told you Gaston, I have to find out the answers by myself. It is like, my brother is hiding something from me, Gaston." Anna said.

"You know that I will support you but sometimes you have to back off." Gaston suggested.

Anna shook her head, "No. I will find answers to my question. You've been to Sherlock before right?" Anna asked.

Gaston nodded, "Yes. One of the most beautiful places in the country. Casedona has been ruling them so good." he explained.

"Casedona?" Anna asked.

Gaston were shocked by Anna's reaction, "You are just kidding right? Casedona's was your father's boss! Don Fabian Casedona." Gaston said.

Anna was shocked. Joseph never mentioned 'Casedona' to her. Anna became confused even more.

"Gaston, would you mind if you tell me everything about Sherlock and those Casedona? Something is not right! If brother is telling the truth then why would he not tell everything?" Anna said.

Somehow, Gaston finally agreed with Anna. He finds out that Anna is somehow has a point.

"Okay. Sherlock is one of the most successful cities. They are ruled by the wealthiest family Casedona. Don Romualdo is the head family and has children, Fabian and Margareth. Fabian died, he was killed by his own wife and after his burial someone kidnapped Princess Theresa Casedona by an unknown person until now she is still missing. But since, Don Romualdo never actually cared. He never mentioned his grand daughter. Aside from his grand daughter, Don Romualdo has his grand son Joaquin. But Joaquin was never seen after the death of Fabian. Joaquin always locks himself to his room, according to the news." Gaston said.

"I am coming with you, Gaston. Your mother invited me, I will not miss the chance to have my questions answered. This is my chance!" Anna said.

Anna prepared as she wants to know everything about her life. The questions that she is dying to ask. Would she know the answer to her questions if she disobey her brother? Would it be enough?
