Lyra was finally taken away from her cage immediately after the king's visit. She saw places again that isn't her cold barren cage and it made her feel better.

They loosened her hair and combed out the tangles, leaving the hair in a long, curly mess afterwards. The clothes they had her put on, made Lyra cringe.

Then, they wore her a long robe that covered the clotheslessness.
