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.

The knocks- Part 2
When Lucas returned back from the kitchen, a smile played on his face as he caught sight of Greed who appeared to not have moved from the spot, "She's not wrong you know."
Greed shook his head, "Like I care," but the blue-eyed reaper said, "What kind of person doesn't care about the number of people their lover killed? She is less mortal and belongs more to the dead. "
"The kind who accepts everything about her lover without a doubt of question," a smirk appeared on Lucas' face. Belle had visited the land of the dead many times and she had experienced death, he doubted if there was any that could faze her right now, "I need you to do something for me."
"What is it?" asked Greed.
"Two days from now on I won't be here. I need to travel to West and need you to accompany Belle when she's outside," said Lucas for the Grim reaper to have a grim expression on Greed's face.
"What else?" asked Greed.
