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.

Track of time- Part 2
Lucas' frowned after he realised that Belle was not in the boat with Rower and Greed but here with the timekeeper and Barron. Belle was the one who answered, "Barron got stuck with death reapers because we forgot about the nonexistent bond before." He gave her a nod. At least one problem was solved in here, "By the time we turned back, Rower, Greed and the boat was not here. Catina said that it was because earlier she was playing with time that caused the change."
It was good that he had put the timekeeper to sleep. She was similar to Barron who had been causing trouble. As much as he wanted to go and stop her by going to the time frame where Barron had convinced her to take a vacation, it would cause far worse changes that one wouldn't be able to fix. And if he did, there was a possibility where Belle would have died when she was a child to end up completely like Portia.
But something didn't sit right here. There was something that bothered Lucas.
