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~
Red handed- Part 1
Belle walked away from the scene, taking Lucas along with her, "The body is not there. They have it in the carriage," she informed Lucas before saying, "He killed Greed? I mean the councilman."
"That's a switcher," revealed Lucas to her.
"What?!" Belle stopped walking but she was pulled by Lucas.
"Keep walking, little Belle. You don't want to make it look suspicious," and they walked away from the village but took a different route to get to the carriage which Dutan mentioned.
"Why are we not going to do anything about him?" she asked, her eyes looking up at him questioningly. Switchers were not good news and they were better to be removed from these lands than be kept alive and create more mess in the already existing troubles they had. She then saw Lucas pull out his watch that showed the time of death.
"Take a look," he said to her and Belle looked down the needle that showed one day when being pointed towards Dutan.
