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.

Meeting her- Part 2
Belle found the room to be silent and she noticed how the woman named Edith looked at Lucas where he returned back her gaze. When Lucas took a seat next to her, Belle finally asked the woman,
"You said you were expecting me?"
"Indeed, I was," Edith replied and took the seat in front of them, "Let me introduce myself. I am Edith the prophecy holder, it is nice to make your acquaintance, Belle," she used her name in such familiarity as if she knew her for a very long time.
An oracle was someone who knew what would happen in the future, it was someone who could guess on the mysteries of the world. Lucas had brought her here because she had told him she was uncertain with what she had to do.
"Did you know my parents were going to die?" she asked the woman and saw Edith nod to her question.
"I am sorry for how things went but you need to know a few sacrifices are made when you are trying to fix something," said Edith.
