Lyre

Lyra a entendu la voix qui lui parlait. Un des fils de Hyland! Étonnamment, elle le regarda, révélant la marque sur son visage et son apparence déchaînée, avant de regarder de nouveau rapidement vers le bas. "Pardonne-moi Seigneur Hyland. J'étais maladroite et je suis tombée. Je ne serai plus en retard, je jure votre seigneurie."
En vérité, ce ne sont pas les fils qui l'ont effrayée. C'était leur mère féroce. Et alors que Lady Hyland n'avait jamais été cruelle envers elle, Lyra n'était pas sur le point de lui donner une raison d'être.
« Je vous souhaite bonne chance dans le tournoi Lord Hyland », a-t-elle ajouté tranquillement, rougissant un peu comme elle l'a fait lorsqu'elle s'est adressée à l'un des fils de Hyland. Ce n'était pas un secret que les gars étaient un beau lot. Les dames de la cour seraient probablement en train de braquer sur elles au moment où elles sont entrées à l'intérieur. Elle se demande à quelle vitesse les combats commenceront pour une chance dans leurs lits.
Une fois que la famille a commencé à converser avec les rois Lyra s'est rapidement silencieuse et a gardé une distance respectable, assez proche pour que tout le monde dise qu'elle était une servante des Hylands mais assez loin comme prévu de sa station. Elle entendit les murmures des différentes personnes dans la cour et entendit le bruissement des robes chères. Lyra a voulu regarder les femmes exotiques dans leurs robes magnifiques et des bijoux époustouflants, mais sa volonté était forte. Une servante a gardé son visage baissé à moins qu'elle ne s'adresse à elle. Elle n'a pas pu résister à jeter un coup d'oeil à la princesse, qui était en effet une beauté que les histoires avaient prétendu qu'elle l'était. Lyra se demandait comment sa vie devait être, n'ayant jamais à s'inquiéter, à s'occuper, à attendre à pied et à main...
C'était une vie que Lyra ne pouvait jamais commencer à imaginer ou comprendre.

◾ Biography:
Lyra was born in the village outside of the Hyland Keep. Her mother was a bastard daughter of the Hyland family but was never claimed by the Lord of that time. She met and lay with a visitor from the Vaernin Forest, who left soon after learning of Enya's pregnancy. She cried bitter tears of disappointment when she birthed a girl. Lyra was a constant reminder of her failure to have a son, although she tried with every male she came across. Lyra grew up living in what essentially was a whorehouse, until the night of the incident....
After that Lyra ran away and into the Hyland Keep to get away from the life her mother had made. At 15 she was hired to feed the swine and has worked her way up since then. After several years of hard work she has made it past the kitchens and into the entourage of personal servants that tend to the lords and ladies of the Hyland family, but she restricted mainly to serving food and drinks or fetching things for them.
Whatever money she manages to get she sends to her mother under the condition that the woman stay out of her life.
Lyra never had what you would call a 'love life' but she notices the handsome young men about the keep. One such young man who was steward to the current lord was attempting to teach her how to read, but passed away from illness before she made much progress. She wants to learn to read so she can learn about far off places and imagine a life there for herself that is far different from the one she currently lives.
Lyra longs for new things but at the same time is too afraid to leave what she knows, afraid she will end up like her mother selling her backside for food.
She likes working in the keep serving the Hyland family, but at times feels quite jealous of them. Especially the ladies of the house, being so beautiful and everything coming easy for them. But she does look forward to the day that they marry and have babies so Lyra might be able to look after them.
