Lyra was taken to the servant quarter after their return,she was shown her room and where all the servants have their meals and other things she needed to know.

"If you want to take a bath,go to the river bank, that's where us servant take our bath when nightfalls or early in the morning when the sun hasn't risen.Katherine one of the maids said as she was the one that was assigned to take Lyra on a tour around the the castle.

"What about the clothes i change into after bathing?."Lyra asked

"It will be brought to you soon,after the tour.come with me to be assigned to your by the butler."Katherine said as she nudged her forward.They through entrance of the servants of the servants quarter to the kitchen,as walked through the corridors with Katherine leading her she started having visions of what happened in the past.The floor was covered in blood of people whose images were too blurry for her to see with the cries of people every where,but she couldn't see the face of the people crying ,only one person's face was seen and his identity remain unknown to her....

"We are here"Katherine announced jerking Lyra off her vision.Lyra was given a scrowl containing her duties as the prince personal slave.

The sun was setting when Lyra walked through the double corridors that leads to the prince chambers while humming a song, when her perked up.Lyra knew deep down her heart that even if she looked like human she wasn't one,but she doesn't know what she.sometimes her ears will enlarge and her will glow but that usually happens when hums a particular song in an ancient language,that she doesn't know where she heard it from.

She raised her hand to knock on the door but it opened before she could,

"How long have you been standing here eavesdropping on our conversation?"The queen mother asked already angry at her for eavesdropping.Lyra kept mute.

"Mother,you should go to bed."Azgaroth said casting a glare towards Lyra.

The queen mother scrutinized her with her gaze,before leaving for her chambers.

"Don't prepare the bath i have somewhere to go."Azgaroth said as he walked out in big strides.

Having nothing else to do,Lyra walked to the river bank with her clothes hanging on her left arm.When she got to the river bank she dipped her foot in the water to feel the temperature of the water.stripping her clothes,she submerge her self in the river,she rose from the water and sat on one of stones by the riverside.Her mind got reeled up in old memories.
