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~
Alicia Stardust, the main antagonist of the Otome Game: Love Beneath The Moonlight. Surely, reincarnating into her body would be a bad thing right? Nope. Becoming a Villainess was one of the best things that could have happened to me. Despite being born as the genius daughter of a Duke with every single magic spirit at her command, Alicia Stardust fell for the crown prince and used every possible means to seek an engagement with him, regardless of if her methods were vicious or wicked. However, after succeeding and gaining the engagement with the Crown Prince, it was then that her ruthless behavior became highlighted and she became unfavorable to many within the noble faction. Her downfall would finally arrive when she tried to kill the female lead, a commoner from the countryside who won the affection of her beloved Crown Prince. She was then exiled and was scorned as a wicked woman who met a rightful end, at least in the game that is. After spending three days straight playing the game I passed out. When I finally regained my consciousness I found myself waking up in the body of Alicia Stardust six months before she enters the Royal Academy of Magic. "Hahaha, some would think of this as unfortunate... but this is a blessing! I will embarrass that female lead and show this world what a real Villainess is capable of!"
