Belle was glad to have Lucas beside her and even though it was for a short while she was glad to have him here right now. He had always been the most knowledgeable one out of all the people she had met.
Her hand was wrapped in a fresh, clean cloth just to make sure she wouldn't let anything press against it by mistake, "Did you bury her?" she asked Lucas. Somewhere she felt it was wrong of her that she had gone to sleep after the maid had passed away.
"She must already be resting in the graveyard," Lucas answered her and then said, "There are times you cannot do anything, Miss Belle but just stand at the side and watch."
"Like you leaving this mansion?" asked Belle and she bit her tongue for blurting it out without thinking it through. She looked away while scolding herself for saying something she shouldn't have said to him.
