"Child, loosen up a bit, I can't breathe!" Kedes protested.
Kate heard the unfamiliar voice. It's not her granny Esmeralda!
She looked at the face of the old woman that she hugged tightly. She was very disappointed. The only similarity they have between them is the long white hair. This woman has an upper part of a human but her lower half is that of a horse. "I'm sorry...I thought you were my granny Esmeralda coming to rescue me," she said sadly.
Kate began sobbing again, she becomes a cry baby the moment she realized that she was trapped and there's no escape from the king's clutches.
"W-who are you?" she asked the old centaur woman.
"I'm the king's grandmother. I'm here to check on you," Kedes said calmly.
