Belle Adams' Butler

Chapter 260 - We Need Some Peace- Part 3



Chapter 260 - We Need Some Peace- Part 3

Leaving the room and closing the door behind him, Lucas\' expression that was calm turned dark. His eyes turning hollow and emotionless. He walked up the stairs, his feet stopping to push open the door where both Greed and Barron were sitting in two different corners.

Barron was staring at Greed without looking away even for a second. When the rabbit had arrived at this room, he had seen blood coating the floor where Belle laid unmovingly. And seeing Greed with his scythe, he was sure he was the one who had hurt Belle.

"How is she?" asked Barron when he noticed Lucas step inside the room.

"Sleeping. She needs rest," she had been getting hurt since the last week. He then turned his face to look at Greed, "What do you want?" asked Lucas. There was no way he had helped the woman who Lucas loved.

Greed gave an oblivious look, "What?"

"You wouldn\'t help Belle without any motive. You got out of the circle she had drawn, and you are free to go. So what are you doing here?" Lucas stared at Greed who shrugged his shoulders.

"Didn\'t the Fourth rabbit tell something about Grims staying here?" asked Greed, his hands in his pockets.

"Who are you calling rabbit?! I am a Grim reaper!" Barron raged that his title was changing and he had second thoughts of staying in this rabbit suit even if it was going to protect him from the other reapers and hellhounds in finding him quickly.

Lucas didn\'t respond and continued to look at him. Waiting for Greed to come out clean instead of making up lame reasons. Greed\'s lips twisted, and he sighed, "I heard that the hellhounds and the other Grims are on a lookout for the fallen Grims. I would prefer to stick here."

"Why?" asked Lucas.

"That\'s right. Why? Aren\'t you best friends with Winston?" asked Barron, standing on the bed.

Greed then took himself to sit against the window that he had got used to, "You don\'t understand the severity of the order, do you? But then I don\'t blame you. You fell from the Grims eleven years ago. The Hawverts don\'t send the Grims and the hellhounds to search for the fallen ones unless there\'s a pressing matter. It is usually done when the Hawverts give out powers to the other Grims. Powers to eliminate the fallen Grims. I would have left if Barron didn\'t mention the hellhounds and the Hawverts," he explained to them, "You should know how much I value my position. Why would I leave from here?"

"So he\'s saving his ass," Barron concluded.

"I would rather pick someone who is going to the same battle than be sent into oblivion," reasoned Greed.

Hearing this, Lucas said, "Stay away from Belle. I won\'t spare you if something happens to her. At the same time, thank you for your help," it is evident that Greed was the one who had killed George.

"We have a situation," Lucas said to Barron, "The councilman has run away from the mansion."

"But we tied him," said the rabbit, looking at Lucas who stared the sky through the window.

"George untied him and let him go," replied Lucas.

Barron gave out a surprised look, "Why are we standing here then? We should go get him back here!" Lucas had brought Councilman Joshua back to the mansion after the councilman had run away for the first time. This was the second time, and here they were talking instead of catching him.

"By the amount of time that has passed, he must have already reached his house, and we don\'t know where he lives. And I doubt anyone would come to believe him if he were to speak about people coming back alive. The councilmen who have been involved will be dead soon," said Lucas, "There are thousands of things that happen with misinformation. Even if Grims want to look at us, they will only dismiss it to be a piece of falsified news. They don\'t know that the spirits entered the land of the living."

"Wait, what happened to that lady you went for?" asked Barron.

"Killed her."

When the morning appeared, the maids who entered the halls noticed vases being broken on the ground. One of the maids asked, "Did we have a thief?"

The maid, named Cassie shook her head. She whispered, "Last night, Miss Belle was hurt. Her leg and hand. It looks like she was stabbed."

"What?! What happened?" asked Emma.

"I don\'t know," Cassie shook her head, "I didn\'t ask. Must have been the councilman."

"What are you both whispering about?" asked Barron who stood behind them.

Both the maids jumped in surprise as they hadn\'t expected the rabbit reaper standing behind them, "It wasn\'t the councilman but her friend, George. He was another dead person who came back alive." the maids turned pale hearing this. How many more were they going to deal with? "The councilman has run away from here, and there is a possibility of an interrogation being done in here. Let others know that they didn\'t see Miss Belle\'s friend nor her parents. And that we didn\'t tie him up."

"The council members are going to come here?" asked Emma.

Lucas who stepped inside the mansion as he had been out, returned to walk towards them. The maid then asked him, "Sir Lucas, what if the councilman claims and they believe about what happened here?"

The councilmen would come but they didn\'t know when but with the way they had tied Joshua up, there was a high possibility that they would show up at the door to see if Belle was a witch or if he was the witcher.

"No one will be caught if you behave like you know nothing. Don\'t open your mouth and don\'t say anything more than what has been asked. You will behave as if you saw nothing, you know nothing unless you want to die in the name of helping a witch," said Lucas before dismissing them.
