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 got back to the mansion with Lucas in the carriage to avoid any suspicion from a lurking reaper who was trying to find the fallen Grims of the land of the dead. Sitting and looking outside the carriage, she felt Lucas' hand that found its way to Belle's hand. Holding it, Belle, who was looking outside the window, smiled at him.

She was so happy to have him by her side, but it was not just him as there were other two Grims who had sided in this little fight against the Hawverts who was the reason why she had to die early in her previous life. The five servants who worked for the Adams' mansion knew the truth, and they were loyal.

"Do you want to go to the dance class?" he inquired.

"Won't it be too soon?" asked Belle because earlier Crane had appeared in Edith's office out of nowhere.
