This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
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.
"Keep the rabbit out of trouble," Lucas raised his eyebrows to have Greed give him a nod.
Just as Lucas and Greed were discussing, someone knocked on the door for them to turn in the direction from where the sound had come. Lucas being the butler, was ready to open the door when Greed stopped him and went ahead to do the job. With the master and slave bond that was placed between the two Grims, Greed who had always held an admiration for the thirteenth Grim went to get the door and opened it.
But there was no one there. Greed's blue eyes looked at the space in front of him and then looked down at the mat that was placed outside the door.
"Who is it?" asked Lucas.
"No one," answered Greed. After taking another look, he closed the door, walking towards Lucas when another series of knocks were heard from outside.
Belle being a vampire heard the knock coming for the second time and she stepped out of the room to see who had come seeing no one except Lucas there. She asked him, "Is someone out at the door?" and with that question, she walked down the stairs.
Greed who had locked the door turned around. It was the time for the mortals to place the Hallow of trick and treat. Walking to the door, Greed opened the door again and this time Lucas and Belle moved forward to see no one stood outside the mansion, "What time of the year is it?" asked Greed to make sure that the mortals were still following the time and rules of the celebration. His bright blue eyes looked slightly annoyed with no one there.
"The time of Winter," murmured Belle.
"Any children nearby?" asked Greed.
"Children don't step into the residence of the Adams mansion," answered Lucas, "I have scared children enough to make sure they don't enter the premises. It can be quite troublesome," he added when Belle turned to give him a look.
Greed this time took to step out of the mansion, his blue eyes like-frost moved from one corner to another without having to turn his head, "There's no one here," repeated Greed and then looked at the door. His hands touched the surface of the wooden carved door, "Nothing that I can sense."
Lucas and Belle would have taken it to be wind but the knocks on the door were sharp enough to gain anyone's attention, to say there was someone outside. Barron was at the top so she doubted it was his mischief.
Greed then walked back inside the mansion. He gave another look outside, at the front. Gazing for long seconds before he closed the door but this time right after he closed the door, the three of them who stood close to the door heard three sharp knocks. Greed looked more than annoyed while Lucas' eyes narrowed. Belle, on the other hand, would have been scared if she was still a child but she had seen a fair share of creatures.
"Who do you think it is?" asked Belle to Lucas because she along with the rest of the company found it to be strange. When Greed opened the door, as expected there was no one there again. Her head moved towards Lucas but her eyes were still on the front of the mansion where the door laid open.
With the snow that was falling down from the sky where the blizzard had just started again, it would have been hard to hear the knocks but these knocks, with every knock it was making Belle question.
"Why is no one opening the damn door! Where is the servant?" asked Barron who had come down the stairs. Barron who didn't receive a response and who noticed only Belle and Lucas' back as they were standing in the hallways, he made his way down by using his cotton legs before reaching at the door to ask, "Are you guys checking the durability of the wood?"
"Someone has been knocking on the door," Belle filled in and the rabbit gave her a look.
"Then let the person in. Who is our guest?" asked Barron, walking forward and to have one flake of snow got stuck on top of his nose, "Huh! Ah," he made noises by shaking his head and trying to get rid of it before he finally made use of his flabby hand.
"A shy guest," commented Greed. His eyes stared at the swirl of snow that rose up to fall down because of the wind.
Barron who had got the snowflake off his nose stepped out of the mansion and looked around, "Hmm? Where is the person?" questioned the rabbit.?Belle who was also curious walked forward to see if there was something that the Grims were not able to catch. But like Barron and Greed, she found no one there.
They stood there for more than two minutes before closing the door shut to hear the three knocks again on the door.
