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.

Belle was sipping the blood from the glass, staring outside the window from the first floor where the snow continued to fall. She was happy for her friend Anne, that she had found someone she liked and that person turned out to be a Grim Reaper. The rules to all the Grim were all the same even though they held different powers in them. Though Wrath was a fallen Grim, he didn't want to take part in the oncoming fight that was going to take place. Unlike Belle herself, Anne was not gifted with any powers.
She didn't know exactly how the witness of getting engaged in front of the other Grims was going to work but if Lucas said it would work, it meant it would be fine. At least they had some sort of proof that they got engaged in the presence of the eight Grim reapers. Considering one of them was Lucas' former self, it was more than half of the Grims who agreed upon the relationship between a mortal and an immortal.
