Lyra almost jumped out of her white silk dress when she heard somebody show up behind her.  Certainly, she thought it was one of the King's minions to try and protect his new prize.  However, a sigh of relief came over the handmaiden when she saw that it was just one of the knights.  Turning her head away from him and back to the stone floor, she muttered her soft and disappointing words.<br/><br/>"The Princess would not heed my advice..."<br/><br/>Sighing for a moment, she closed her eyes as she was desperately trying to forget what was happening to Dawn at this very moment.  However, the knight's movements shook her again as her hand instantly went up to the bright red mark that the Slaugh King gave her on her neck.<br/><br/>"It's fine!  What are you going to do??"<br/><br/>Nervously, Lyra's red eyes began to swirl in fear as she took a few steps away from the approaching knight.  Her fear and untrustworthy nature began to show her true fear.
