"What did you say earlier?" Suddenly a voice came from behind Lyra, which was like a breath of fresh air as well as a very bright and warm sun.
Spontaneously Lyra and Baron Jason turned to the source of the voice. They stared at each other, their mouths agape.
"Stefanus!" called Lyra in almost disbelief. How could he possibly know she was in a prison area? 'Is he following me?' Now fear hit her, especially when it seemed that Stefanus had known her whereabouts in prison a long time ago. 'Is he going to tattle on me to Duke Kleo? Argh, what should I say to keep Duke Kleo from getting angry?'
Even though she had prepared a reasonable excuse. But because of Stefanus's arrival her mind became very confused. Not surprisingly. A person is often confused when shocked or pressed by fear.
