However, she heard the Great Lady continue, "Soon, Dray will leave the royal palace for some time and won't return for a day or two. At that time, you should accompany this old lady instead of staying in your palace, and I will tell you that story."
Seren agreed. "I look forward to spending more time with you, Grandmother."
