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.

Memories of the duchess- Part 2
Barron then came back to the story he was saying, "I just wanted to have fun and was there to collect her soul."
"It was sweet of her to make you a muffler on her deathbed," and on Belle's words, Barron flipped his head to look at Belle.
"I know that! I didn't care at that time. We Grim reapers lack emotions because of the environment we have been placed in. The people around us stripped away those emotions but I feel bad now," his ears had stood up to fall back down.
"Whoever that girl was, the duchess, she must have made the muffler for you out of her heart's goodwill. You can take it as a thank you gift, for sending her to the land of the dead safely and putting her in the boat for the Rower to take her to the gates," Belle wondered if Barron was feeling guilty for getting a gift from someone who he had given illness, so that the person would die.
"I wished that was what happened," muttered Barron that caught Belle's attention.
