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

It was the time of noon when the carriage continued to move in the direction that headed towards the town where Belle's friend Pauline was getting married to the man today. Belle wore a light blue coloured dress so that she wouldn't stand out in front of the bride or other females who would be attending the wedding. Lucas had not changed his clothes and still wore the butler uniform as if he were accompanying her to the wedding.

"Isn't it exciting?" asked Belle to Lucas who had been looking outside the window of the carriage with his leg and arms crossed.

"Eloping and getting married?" Lucas confirmed if that is what Belle was talking about and she gave him a nod. Given that it was Belle's idea which the girl named Pauline had applied when it came to running away from the house and marrying secretly now, he could tell Belle was more excited than the bride and groom.
