"Finally Duke Kleo allowed me to meet and chat with you!" Lyra had told them a moment ago, her face bright and radiant. "This is good news, right?"

"Is Miss Lyra coming?" asked Ella nervously, standing by the lake in the late afternoon. Lyra asked her and Gena to meet up, while they unwind and party because of the new rules.
"I thought she would come. I am sure of it." Gena reassured, then pulled her friend's hand to a corner, and sat back down in a grove of trees.
