Belle Adams' Butler 265 In your arms- Part 3

There was a wide grin on her lips which she tried to hide but she couldn't.

"Belle," Barron called her name, who was watching Lucas move around as he said with Belle on the bed, "Can I get a room for myself too? I was thinking about that corner room where you can see the town and village. Maybe a nice quilt and add some woods in there."

"You don't feel cold. Why do you need the woods to be burned in the room?" asked Lucas with his back facing them. 

Barron nudged his hand on Belle's leg for attention so that she wouldn't listen to Lucas, "What do you say?" he asked her. 

"Yes," she replied as she didn't see any harm in it. Like Lucas, she had the questions about the logs too, "Why do you need the woods?"

"It gives this nice soft glow in the room," answered Barron. Belle couldn't help but smile at Barron's words. 

Lucas finished placing all his clothes and things in the closet that was cleared earlier by Belle, "You and Greed will be sharing a room. It would be advisable to have a bigger room."

"Wait, why am I supposed to share a room with him?" asked Barron with a look of shock on his face. 

"Because even though he claims to be saving his self, it would be better if we have someone keep an eye on him."

"Now I am babysitting him?!" asked Barron who was tired doing these little errands. He was Barron the fourth Grim, what made them think that he would do that? "I am not doing it! Chain him back with magic."

"If he runs off to tell the councilman and others where we are, it would be another problem. You can forget your logs of woods because you will be the one burning in the fire," pointed Lucas. The butler then snapped his fingers together, "Now you can leave the rabbit behind. Get used to the lifestyle in the land of the living without drawing attention to yourself." 

Barron got down from the bed without a word and left the room. Belle then looked at Lucas, who said, "He will agree to it," and he then closed the closet, "There you go. All my things are in here now."

Lucas noticed how Belle had a goofy smile on her lips. Her shoulders had relaxed since yesterday after she had spent her time with Simon. Though Lucas loved her to the last of his breath, there were some things he knew he couldn't fulfil like a friend as he had not spent his time with her like how Simon did. 

One letter and it had brought Simon here to see her. It was enough to tell that the man valued Belle. There were times he often caught Belle staring into space before she would quickly smile when she realised he was looking at her to let him know that she was alright. 

For once and just for now, her life was normal without her having to worry about other people or the responsibility she had to shoulder. He wanted her to breath so that she wouldn't look back one day to see that she was not able to enjoy the little things. She deserved to have a normal life, a break over things. 

Change was inevitable, and things would be moving faster. He wanted her to have memories that she could cherish. In the past, Lucas had held himself back, and Belle did too, and it was sad. He wouldn't make the same mistake that he had made in his past. 

Belle was the woman he loved and cared for deeply. The only person who had the ability to evoke emotions like this in him and he would cherish her. 

During the time of dinner, it wasn't just Belle and Lucas, who were at the table. Greed had joined as if it was nothing, taking a seat right in front of Lucas, and it somewhere made Belle feel like she was fighting with a girl who wanted Lucas' attention. Pushing the thought away, she smiled when Greed offered her a bright smile on his lips. 

"Why am I stuck in a small boy's body?" came the voice of Barron who stepped inside the dining room. 

Belle noticed the same boy, Barron had taken the form of when Baltimore had come to visit them for the first time. Barron looked to be around the age of a eleven or twelve-year-old boy, "Tell me why I am not able to change my form."

Greed, who was sipping his tea, commented, "It suits your personality." 

"Shut up!" Barron then turned to Lucas with a questionable look on his face. 

"Do you remember when I asked you to change when Baltimore had appeared. I asked you to change to something you liked before turning to a small boy?" Barron nodded his head, "But then you didn't want to, and decided to turn to a boy directly?" Barron nodded his head again, "You cannot change yourself once you have picked a form. You are stuck with it."

"WHAT?!" exclaimed Barron, "Fix it!" 

"Looks like you haven't been paying attention to the rules and limitations of being a Grim Reaper. 

Greed then said, "There is one way to do it. Increase your rank in the Grim reapers. Lucas can change, like Edith and Wrath."

"I think you look great, Barron. Now it feels like I have a sibling," said Belle. The maids appeared in the dining room, and after a long time, there were more people to join in this room.
