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.

Leaving the room and closing the door behind him, Lucas' expression that was calm turned dark. His eyes turning hollow and emotionless. He walked up the stairs, his feet stopping to push open the door where both Greed and Barron were sitting in two different corners.
Barron was staring at Greed without looking away even for a second. When the rabbit had arrived at this room, he had seen blood coating the floor where Belle laid unmovingly. And seeing Greed with his scythe, he was sure he was the one who had hurt Belle.
"How is she?" asked Barron when he noticed Lucas step inside the room.
"Sleeping. She needs rest," she had been getting hurt since the last week. He then turned his face to look at Greed, "What do you want?" asked Lucas. There was no way he had helped the woman who Lucas loved.
Greed gave an oblivious look, "What?"
