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. Note: If you enjoy a book of comedy with light-hearted romance and a gothic background. This book is for you~

Der Butler von Belle Adams

Als Belle mehrere Stunden vor Morgengrauen aus einem Albtraum aufwachte, holte sie sich ein Glas Wasser. Sie hielt vor dem Fenster ihrer Küche inne, als sie eine brennende Laterne vor dem Garten ihres Herrenhauses bemerkte. Ihr Butler stand dort mit einer Schaufel in der Hand. Dies war keine Stunde zum Gärtnern. Neugierig machte sie sich nach draußen, aber als sie nah genug herangekommen war, um eine große und tiefe Grube neben ihrem ewig stoischen und höflichen Butler zu sehen, sah sie, wie er einen verwesten Körper aufhob. EINE LEICHE! Ihre Augen weiteten sich ängstlich, als sie ihren gutaussehenden Butler sah, wie er den verwesenden Körper in das frische Loch warf. Sie fragte entsetzt: "Was tust du da?!" Überrascht, seine junge Herrin zu dieser Stunde wach zu sehen, starrte er sie mit demselben Gesichtsausdruck an, den er all die Jahre beibehalten hatte. Er hatte sichergestellt, dass sie schlief, bevor er hierherkam. "Gärtnern." "Und die Leiche?!", schaute sie ihn ungläubig an. "Dünger", antwortete er ihr, bevor er die Schaufel aufhob, die auf dem Boden lag. Belle war jetzt sicher, dass etwas von ihrem Butler Besitz ergriffen hatte. Wer vergrub schon Leichen als Gartenpflanze?! Dann hörte sie ihn fragen: "Möchten Sie mir beim Einpflanzen helfen, Fräulein Adams?" Er schenkte ihr ein süßes Lächeln. Hinweis: Wenn Sie ein Buch mit Komödie, leichtherziger Romanze und einem gotischen Hintergrund genießen. Dieses Buch ist für Sie~

But in these type of stories, death was rarely ever the end. When he opened his eyes again, it was not to heaven nor hell, but to a familiar world, one that had remained only in pages.

Just one tiny difference though... The Villainess is not following the script

Der Butler der Dame: Ich wurde wiedergeboren, um der Schurkin zu dienen

Wie war noch mal mein Name? Ich schätze, das spielt keine Rolle mehr, schließlich habe ich dieses Leben bereits hinter mir gelassen. Jetzt widme ich mein ganzes Sein dem Dienst an der Schurkin. Alles andere ist zweitrangig. *** Ein Soziopath, das war die einzig richtige Beschreibung für ihn. Auf der Erde lebte er als stiller Beobachter, dessen Tage ohne Bedeutung waren. Bis er sie fand. Zuerst eine Nebenfigur, dann die finale Schurkin eines klischeehaften Fantasy-Manhwas, und so wurde seine Besessenheit geboren. Nach einer Reihe seltsamer Ereignisse, die dazu führten, dass er von einem Lastwagen erfasst wurde ... starb er. Aber in dieser Art von Geschichten war der Tod selten das Ende. Als er seine Augen wieder öffnete, befand er sich weder im Himmel noch in der Hölle, sondern in einer vertrauten Welt, die bisher nur auf den Seiten existiert hatte. Aber er erwachte nicht als Held, Schurke oder gar als hilfreiche Nebenfigur. Stattdessen wurde er als Butler wiedergeboren, einer, der noch vor Beginn der Geschichte starb und dazu bestimmt war, Renelle Ardent zu dienen. Die Frau, die dazu bestimmt war, zur Schurkin zu werden, von der Gesellschaft verstoßen zu werden und unter der Last ihrer eigenen Besessenheit zu sterben. Aber dieses Mal würde sie nicht allein sein. Nur ein winziger Unterschied allerdings ... Die Schurkin hält sich nicht an das Drehbuch -----------

Here's my favorite quote of the day: “You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.” ― Octavia E. Butler
