No one remembers anything about who used to live in the castle deep in the forest. No one remembers when the castle was inhabited. No one is willing to enter the castle to investigate either. There are rumors of a horrible, hideous monster hiding out within the walls of the castle. And anyone who entered the castle never came out again. But somehow, the garden of the castle is always perfectly tended to. Not a single plant withering or dying, as if someone was taking care of it. The first time Felix saw the castle was when he was six, when he and his father moved into the little town in east France. He was forbidden from going anywhere near the palace, so he didn't see the castle again until his curiosity got the best of him and he went to investigate. When he found the castle and saw the horrible condition of the garden, he couldn't let it stay like that. From then on, every other day he would come to the palace and repair the garden. He never went inside the castle, but he started finding little trinkets left for him, as if someone was telling him they appreciated his work. [A Beauty and the Beast retelling]
