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

Lucas knew that Greed would not do anything without receiving anything back in return. It was in his very nature to take anything and everything for himself. Straying away from ideals were alright until one got what they needed.

"Does that mean don't follow the ideals of who I once was?" asked Lucas, his words being asked testingly to see what Greed would answer.

"My loyalty lies where you are," answered the sixth Grim that had Lucas chuckle.

"Don't know why, but I find it rather hard to believe. Especially with the way you killed her and me," Lucas started to walk in the room, looking at the objects that once used to belong to Lady Knivetton and her family.

"I told you why I did, what I did but things are different now. You don't follow the rules anymore and neither do I," grinned Greed, "Your precious little thing, how did you save her?"
