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.

In the same boat- Part 1
The man's hand was still on her arm, that had stopped her from falling. Belle couldn't stop the look of shock that appeared on her face. So it wasn't just six but eight Grim Reapers who were in the Adams' mansion. She wasn't sure how to feel about it when the man helped her stand straight and she muttered,
"Thank you."
Obviously the next fallen Grim was Wrath so that must be him, thought Belle to herself.
The man didn't say anything and she understood why he looked aloof. Even Lucas carried such expression, it was an expression very much similar to the ninth and the eleventh Grim reapers who were in the mansion. She tried to behave normally but when they both turned around, Belle gave a few seconds before turning around and followed the man.
