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~
Back from the dead? - Part 1
Belle had parchments spread all over her bed as she sat in front of them, reading the book that she had written about the basic magic which was not written in any other book that she had access to. She wrote down in another parchment on what had to be done and this was not easy. It was like adding different spells to one another to derive for another purpose.
So far, she had made progress and considering the fact that she was a vampire now and not a witch as in her past life, she was doing pretty well. The only drawback here was that the magic she was going to use wasn't simple magic but she was going to tap into the forbidden magic, to make the little fabricated world more alive. Mimicking not only the people but also the environment there.
Once she was done, Belle took the parchment which she had derived while throwing away all the other parchments into the fireplace so that they would never come to be of any use for another person.
