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.

Barron, who saw Lucas start to walk quickly, asked, "Why?"
The butler paused his steps and turned around to look at the stuffed toy who was standing on its two feet, "In the near days, many more reapers are going to show up. This might be one of the safest places for you and I am hoping you can keep an eye on Belle. As you have noticed, she has a mind of her own."
The fourth Grim gave a hard look at Lucas and asked, "What are you exactly doing here?" for a lowly reaper who had crossed paths with the alignment of stars, he doubted it was his initial plan to stay in here. Or was it that he was enjoying human life?
At the same time, a bird cried up in the sky and it flew down to settle on Lucas' hand which he extended. It was the same raven that had earlier attacked the death reaper in the cemetery. The raven was indeed not a bird from the land of the living but what was it doing with this butler?
