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

The ghoul returned early in the morning before the dawn could break out, going to stand next to the bed where Belle and Lucas' were fast asleep in each other's arms. The ghoul wore clothes that were similar to death reapers and the only distinguishing feature was that the ghoul didn't have a face. Their head was always hooded, covering what was there without letting anyone see. It moved its boney, skeleton hand towards Belle. Wanting to reach out for the girl's heart. As it moved further, it's hands reaching her chest, Lucas' eyes snapped open and the creature stopped its hand from moving forward.

Lucas didn't know what exactly the ghoul was trying to achieve. He was already aware of its skills when it came to killing people on the Lord's command.
