Confusion, anger, and a hint of hatred emanated from her voice and the light in her eyes.
Whoops! I did it again. This lousy month!
"Did I just call your name?"

"You probably misheard," I replied as I opened the last iron bracelet on Lostria's left leg. Then, in haste, I said, "You are free now, take a rest while I free the other women."
I moved my legs to leave but...
Lostria grabbed my shoulders tightly.

"... Lollia?" I said to Lostria.
"I believe you said Lostria," Myu said. "I have a sharp hearing so I can't possibly be wrong."
