Lucas answered, "He's a passing guest."
"Is he a soul?" Belle asked intrigued.
"Yes," the butler replied back to her and she gave him a nod, "He was a wandering soul and I thought it would be best to have him around."
"Why?" her beautiful red eyes looked at him questioningly. She didn't know how to feel that her beloved toy was possessed by someone.
"He was lost.I decided to show him a way that probably he can stay here for some time before his soul is taken back. It is never good for a soul to be wandering as they get eaten by hellhounds who feed on wandering souls," Lucas explained and Belle furrowed her eyebrows at this.
"I thought death reapers come to fetch the souls once a person dies."
"Most of the time that is what happens but at times a reaper reaches the destination late and by that time, the soul leaves the initial death site," he said and by her expression, he could tell she was agreeing to it.
