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 had not expected to see it, and she didn't know how she saw it, but she had seen Damien and the second alignment of the stars who were in the forest. Damien Quinn was the sibling she didn't have, but the pureblooded was no less to her kin. He was better than the vulture-like relatives that she had.

Though she stood not too near them, she noticed his eyes that they were not red but it had turned to black. Was he getting corrupted? If he was going to turn corrupted, and only with the girl in this deserted forest, that would only mean she would be the first one get attacked by him.

"They are still in Valeria?" asked Lucas, dropping the shovel which he had been carrying for Barron to hold as the rabbit staggered back.

"Is someone going to tell me what's going on?" Barron asked, moving his head to look back and forth between Lucas and Belle.
