Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. 

She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. 

Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. 

A DEAD BODY!

Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" 

Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here.

"Gardening."

"And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief.

"Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?!

She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

Belle Adams' Butler

When the maid had left Belle and Lucas, Belle couldn't stop but blush before she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek, taking Lucas this time by surprise.

"Are you free today?" she asked him.

"Is there anything, in particular, you want to do?" he asked her noticing how the smile that was lost had returned on her lips and her eyes shined looking at him.

"I was thinking of going out to Isle Valley. Would you like to come with me?" she asked him, her words polite as she spoke.

Lucas could tell that it was something Belle had wanted to do for a while. The last time she had planned to go out with her parents to shop, the day never came, "Give me an hour. I will have the servants buried in enough work to keep them busy. Barron can look after the house at that time."

"How is he doing?" Belle inquired as last night when Lucas had taken Barron out of the room. The rabbit had not been pleased in sharing a room with Lucas.
