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

When Belle had thrown the shoe at Muriel, she hadn't expected for it to hit right at the centre of the girl's face. Who would have known that after trying to fight the creatures of the dead, she would have learned to aim right. A small chuckle escaped her lips which didn't sit well with Muriel as well as Hana. Muriel glared at Belle like she couldn't wait to rip Belle apart.

Edith was not in the room as she was yet to step in and Muriel stepped forward, throwing the shoe at Belle which came to pass next to Belle's head. She caught the shoe in time and placed it back inside the bag as if Muriel had not thrown the shoe in anger.

"How dare you throw the shoes at me?!" raged Muriel. Hana, who was standing behind, crossed her hands, waiting for Muriel to burst.

Belle gave the girl an oblivious look, "I thought it was what you were aiming for by bad-mouthing about my parents," answered Belle.
