Chapter 314: Accusations-III

Ian leaned forward in interest, "What kind of things you heard?" He knew how the grim reaper had taken a fondness to Elise. The fondness wasn\'t romantic which something Ian can allow as despite Hallow\'s act of not liking Elise, he seemed to be very attached to her. If Elise had asked question to the yellow bundle it was more possible for the reaper to tell her the truth rather than not.

"Mr. Beel seems to be searching for Heaven," said Elise for Ian to raise his brows. "Do Demons don\'t know where Heaven is located?" she asked him as he was one of Hell\'s residents.

"No, they know but none dared to come there, Beel also know this," Ian then placed a hand bellow his chin, his well-shaped lips pulled to a smile, "I know what he is searching for."

Elise can\'t understand, based on their conversation it should be strange but Ian knows what Beelzebub was actually looking for, "You do?"

"He is searching for Heaven but in a different context," Ian was in the start of his explanation when the door was opened. Kyle and Dalton walked out from the room along with Oliver whose expression wasn\'t the best. Ian studied their expression and pulled a grin that only infuriated Oliver\'s anger, fanning the fire. "Seems like you have gotten the answer?"

Kyle was the one to answer as he was the most rational person in the room, "Yes, we apologize for taking your precious time, milord. We have found nothing that leads you to the death of the maid. Except, might I ask about the vampire who was a friend of the late maid, Miss Carmen?"

Hearing Carmen\'s name, Elise finger flinched which was quickly held by Ian, "I don\'t know, I don\'t familiarize myself with the servants except for one," which was her, thought Elise. "Maroon would explain."

The three Church members were taken off guard when the dull red-headed butler suddenly appeared on the side even though they were sure he wasn\'t there in the beginning of the conversation. Maroon said without wasting his time, "The poor maid also retired back to her hometown. She received the news about her family\'s death and choose to go back and have some times to sort herself."

"Seems like it\'s no coincidence that the two came back at the same time, is it?" Oliver tutted. He wanted to get the Demon to the scaffolds or gallows, so he would die as this was no place for a Demon to be.

Elise didn\'t know what grudge do Oliver have against Ian, but he was getting pushier with his suspicions that had her frown and ask herself what kind of contempt does Oliver held toward Ian. She then felt Ian from the side inclined his head and a hum followed,

"I think you know it better than me, Oliver?" questioned Ian that had Oliver taken aback. Without a raise or lower on his tone, Ian said with a smile, "You seem to doubt everything I say as if you know what happens to this maid that died and you also insist that I killed her, going by far to intrude my time when I had something very important to do."

Dalton Lone who didn\'t want there to be a fight like Kyle put a smile and asked, "Might milord let me ask what important event you have?"

"We are going to visit the Church," Ian said, raising his hand that held Elise\'s. "My wife wants to held the marriage ceremony? in the Church and we have been thinking to look for the Church."

It was the first time Elise had heard about this and she looked at him with surprise when Kyle looked at Elise, "Is that so? Well, we have intruded your important times. We won\'t take any of your time any longer, Lord Ian-"

"No, wait!" Oliver interjected, he then smiled and Elise felt a bad premonition toward the smile that Oliver showed. "There was something that I found odd during the questioning with the maids, that I want to find the bottom of."

Was it about Carmen and Vella? asked Elise but at that time only a few people know and most of the maids didn\'t. While she held a bad reputation with the maids, she had seen the obedience they held when it comes to abiding by Ian\'s instruction, something she was also taught of when she first work in the White Mansion. They won\'t be spilling any truth as Ian had said earlier.

Elise looked at Dalton and Kyle, noticing them sighing under their breaths. "We heard from the maids that there had been a few occasions during the night where they witnessed the butler would take his shovel to the garden. It was not only during night but midnight, something that most people wouldn\'t do as afternoon is the perfect time to tend the garden; unless there is something that is being buried under the soil."

"You mean bodies," Ian didn\'t use ambiguous words and came straight forward which deterred Oliver for a moment from the confidence he showed.

The only two people who are aware that bodies were buried under the soil of the castle\'s garden was Ian and Maroon. Elise wasn\'t aware that all the beautiful blooming flowers in the castle lived with human bodies as their fertilizer and when she heard about the news profound accusation Oliver said, she frowned. There was to an extent hatred could drive one\'s mind and it was wrong to accuse people with only few words from others followed by a wild imagination.

"I have been working here too, Mr. Oliver but I believe there is no body to be bury under the soil of White Mansion," said Elise who couldn\'t kept anymore silence as the man had crossed the line.

"You never know, Miss Scott. Unlike you, Lord Ian is quite...special." the man said after searching for the words.

"Lord Ian," Kyle started with a heavy sigh as Oliver kept on making mess which they didn\'t need. Ian raised his hand, saying the man to resume his words.

Bringing his hand together, he folded his hands, "Maroon show them the way to the garden." and Oliver happily took the first steps before everyone whole Kyle bowed to the Lord in apologies. Fortunately, Ian seemed to be in a good mood unlike the past where he would have done things his own ways that were against a human\'s virtue. He could still remember the time someone from the Church had provoked the Warine Lord that costed him his eyeballs. Perhaps because of the upcoming marriage but Ian had gotten mellowed which was good to Kyle.

As they left, Elise shook his head, she lifted her chin to meet Ian\'s red eyes, "Why does Mr. Oliver hates you?"

"I\'ve done many things to keep in tab for others to hate me, perhaps I have bedded his wife?" joked Ian that had Elise\'s lips pouted and he laughed, teasing her, "Jealous?"

"Mean," Elise remarked, "Mr. Oliver isn\'t married yet."

"Of course I don\'t mean in literal sense. He didn\'t seem to hate me this much either until the incident in Saltige," said Ian who could sense the beginning where Oliver\'s dislikeness to him grew.

Elise raised his brows, "Why do you think so?"

"Who knows." Ian shrugged his shoulders, taking her hands as they both walked away, making enough distance for themselves while the others walked before them.

"But there is nothing they would find under the soil," said Elise when they left the corridor.

"Oliver wasn\'t quite wrong," Ian smirked when seeing her getting confused by his words, "Since Maroon worked with me, quite a few daredevils tried to enter the mansion. I assigned the work to exterminate bugs to him and he used it as the fertilizer to almost all the greeneries to the castle." He said it in a way as if it was normal even though having human as a muck was something Elise knew no other household would do.

Never expecting the confession, Elise eyes widened and her mouth was opened in shock, "What?" she gasped. If it was a joke it would be a very dark humor Elise can\'t laugh properly at, but she saw Ian\'s face noting he wasn\'t joking. "Then what should we do?"

"Watch?" Ian replied as if he was unsure with a smirk.

"But they are enemies," said Elise, she was nervous while Ian was very relaxed, "That might be enough reason to prove you are not at wrong."

And while Elise was correct, they would need evidence to strengthen their reason, but Ian surprise her again by saying, "Now that I remember, there was also a few maids Maroon buried there," and he smiled as if having enough to tease her. "Don\'t worry, I won\'t do anything that would have our marriage be delayed. I\'m not patient to watch you on my bed while suppressing my desires. Let\'s go." he offered her, leaving Elise half-relieved that he seemed to have a way to this mess while at the same time nervous as she has never been in this situation before.

Arriving in the garden, Elise then saw Oliver with a shovel and Maroon from afar watching him with his lips set on straight line, seemingly unhappy as he watched the man use his shovel to dig to the ground with a wasteful movement.

Kyle saw Ian coming in with Elise and can\'t help but bow in apologies again. "My deepest apologies, milord."

"No problem," Ian dismissed which wasn\'t something he would ever do until today, thought Kyle. "Let him do what he want or should I help, Oliver?" Ian raised the end of his words so the man who was occupied with digging the ground to hear his words.
