Chapter 269 - Joshua Is Back- Part 2

"Don\'t you think it is too early and quick to decide that it was done by my butler?" asked Belle.

"That is why I used the word speculation, milady," answered the councilman, "As I said, it is just that we find it very disturbing on why someone would kill the ladies when they weren\'t involved in anything shady."

Belle looked at the man. There was no way the council members would take Lucas with them right now without any solid proof, therefore, she didn\'t worry over it. There was no way they could ever pinpoint that the two women had been killed by him. Because if they did, there would be too many bodies that would be coming out to have Lucas involved in it.

Everyone waited in the room for the other three councilmen to return who did, after finishing the search to find nothing. Councilman Joshua looked very upset that there was nothing he could find but he did bring something along with him. It was the ragged doll of Belle, Mr. Fluffs.

Councilman Christophe looked at Joshua holding the rabbit and asked, "What are you doing with the stuffed toy, councilman?"

Joshua smiled at the question, "This was the rabbit I was talking about, Councilman Christophe. The rabbit that has magic. This is the one that moved and talked!"

Everyone in the room looked at Joshua without any reaction on their face. Councilman Christophe didn\'t know why but he felt like he was put to work with a madman who now claimed to tell him that a stuffed rabbit could move and talk. But he still tried to be supportive and asked, "Are you sure this is the rabbit you were speaking about?"

"Yes yes! This is the one," and Joshua threw the stuffed toy on the ground.

Barron who saw Joshua throw Mr. Fluffs, narrowed his eyes at him.

"That is my stuffed toy. I would ask you to pick it up and handle it with care," said Belle, not liking the fact that he was throwing the already fragile toy.

Joshua laughed, "Why? Because you know this one has magic stored in it, right? Look at the nervousness dripping in them, councilman Christophe."

Councilman Christophe didn\'t know what to think of this. The people who belonged to the mansion only stared at what Joshua was saying and it was only making him look crazy.

"You!" Joshua said looking at the maid he had met who had not helped him to release from the ropes he was tied in and had left him in the corridor, "Tell me what happened the day I was tied in here. You were walking by and when I asked for your help, this butler sent you away. Tell councilman Christophe about it."

The maid looked startled, her expression one of worry that had even the other councilman\'s attention on her, "Is that true?" asked Councilman Christophe, "Remember that if you lie, it would be considered as the fourth decree or lawbreaking for your effort to bury the lie."

"I don\'t remember meeting this man," answered the maid and Joshua gritted his teeth.

"What do you mean you don\'t remember me?!" He took a couple of steps forward and Lucas came in front of Joshua.

"Please avoid violence under this roof," spoke Lucas in an extremely polite tone, "We are people who like peace and don\'t fight. Miss Belle especially dislikes it."

Councilman Joshua pursed his lips, gritting his teeth with his jaw ticking, he turned to Councilman Christophe, "They are all lying!"

"That\'s enough, Joshua," Councilman Christophe said, not wanting to make a fool of the council.

"Wait, let me prove my point to you that this doll is indeed wrapped with black magic," Joshua then picked up Mr. Fluffs and walked towards the fireplace.

"What the fuck do you think you\'re doing?"

It was Barron who had spoken, after all, Mr. Fluffs was his body apart from being in this child-like form. Barron took long steps and plucked the stuffed toy from the councilman to say, "Have you no shame taking stuffed toys and having them burnt?!"

"See, they are protecting the stuffed toy!" Joshua still remembered the time when the rabbit had come, talking to the butler, "Everyone in this house is involved and are hiding secrets!"

"Keep your hands off the rabbit!" Barron placed the rabbit behind his back, "You try to burn it, I will burn you next!" Belle raised her hand to touch the bridge of her nose. Barron\'s love for Mr. Fluffs had grown too much but this was not the time to be threatening a councilman that he would be burning next.

"He\'s threatening me now!"

"I am Barron the Fou-"

"Please forgive my cousin, Barron," Belle stepped in, speaking to Councilman Christophe before the matter would go out of hand, "He is still a young boy." She gave him an awkward smile, "The stuffed toy is very dear to me as it was given by one of my maids when I was a little girl. Having no actual proof and trying to burn it is something that will not sit well with me either. I would ask your councilmen to stop picking up on things that have not happened and to stop assuming."

Belle threw a look at Joshua and Joshua\'s eyes widened on how they had put the blame back on him.

Councilman Christophe could feel a headache rise in his head due to this stupid childish case that was assigned to him. But before he could say anything, Joshua proposed,

"Let\'s go check the graves of Mr. and Mrs. Adams. Surely, their bodies will be missing from the coffin!" Joshua pleaded with Christophe.

Christophe looked at Belle for permission as they would need to get another approval from the council if they were going to do it. When Belle finally nodded, everyone except the servants left the mansion to the cemetery to take a look if the coffin had missing bodies in them.

Reaching the graves, the councilmen including Belle and the others stared at the headstone of her father that was upside down. Lucas\' eyes moved to glare at Barron. The rabbit had one damn job, and that was to bury the bodies back and place the headstone, thought Lucas to himself.
