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

Belle was seeing the people leave, let out a sigh of relief where she felt she could finally relax with the council not hovering around them, "Did you hear that?" asked Belle to them, "Joshua sees ghosts."

"There are some people who can see the dead," answered Lucas, "Some acknowledge them while some don't. And you!" Lucas turned his eyes at Barron, "I give you one job, one job and you don't do it properly."

"I didn't know the headstone was placed upside down when I was pushing it in its place-" Barron was interrupted by an annoyed Lucas.

"If Belle didn't save it by using the priestesses name who is already gone missing, there would have been another investigation with all the bodies pulled out and checked," said Lucas rolling his eyes.

Greed who was quietly standing behind them without a word finally said, "I didn't know your parents were murdered in such fashion."
