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.

Both Lucas and Belle, left Barron to look after the mansion and one could only hope no one would sling mud on him, else he would be busy cleaning himself instead of looking after the mansion.
They hadn't made use of the carriage and instead, Lucas had teleported them to a faraway village which had a smoke burning up at one house that looked as if it had been burned down. Walking closer to the place, Belle noticed the house that had been charred and burnt.
"What happened here?" asked Belle looking at the smoke that hadn't been put out from the house.
"We are here to find out about it. Raven said there was death of a white witch, let's see what happened," said Lucas and they walked towards the house to have the atmosphere fill up with smoke. At the same time they entered, they caught sight of the guards and one councilman who entered the scene to make a quick report of what happened by asking the people around.
