Belle Adams' Butler

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. Note: If you enjoy a book of comedy with light-hearted romance and a gothic background. This book is for you~

Belle was worried, but if Lucas' plan worked when it came to the bond, the two Grim's would not find out who Greed was. They had not spotted Lucas yet, it was only right to send Greed ahead who had changed the colour of his eyes so that his unusually striking blue eyes wouldn't be questioned by them as not many had blue eyes like his. 

She didn't stay long near the kitchen and she headed back to the hall where everyone were present. With Greed offering them a drink, it would make him be less of a suspect and more to be part of the land of the living in the eyes of the Grim. Without looking their way, her eyes met Edith's who only offered her a smile. Edith was the neutral Grim, she wouldn't say anything, but at the same time she knew everything.
