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.

Lucas had disappeared from the mansion while leaving Belle and the others back in the Adams mansion. It was still afternoon, and there was no time to go to the land of the dead if he needed to find a reaper. The Grims could pass in and out along with the death reapers, but it wasn't the same when it came to souls as they needed a medium to pass to the land of the dead.
He was in Valeria, searching for the couple out of which one of them, the girl was part of the alignment of stars similar to Belle. Keeping her alive was of utmost importance because if one died, then it would affect the rest and no one would be alive along with the possible destruction of the world where the mortals lived in.
