Changing the Destiny of a Royal Comic
Chapter 28: The Origin of the Winter Stone

Caesar taught Natasha sword techniques in earnest, Yes in earnest until Natasha was not allowed to rest even removing the sword from her hand.

"Thank you for a little sword, would your hand break if you raised it a little higher?" Caesar continued to comment on Natasha's swordplay.

"What's my fault, I just learned this for the first time! Why do you keep scolding me huweeee.." whine Natasha.

"I want to rest for a while.My hands are also numb, I'm not strong anymore."

Caesar did not care at all about Natasha's whining and kept telling Natasha to move her sword.

While correcting Natasha's foot and hand stance while sword-wearing, Natasha occasionally made a face pleading with Caesar.

"You are.Have I given you a few days of rest when you were sick?"

"That's true, but aren't you being so mean to me? look, my hands are shaking because they are constantly holding this heavy sword" Natasha said, showing her trembling hand.

"Isn't that good? if you hold the sword for a very long time, it will get lighter because you are used to it" Caesar said, refuting Natasha's words.

"But-but.." Natasha made a pleading face once again.

"Hahh well, you can rest" implied a happy face on Natasha's face.

"...But don't forget the moves you learned. If you're wrong tomorrow, I'm gonna have you repeat that movement all the time until you understand." Caesar continued, which made Natasha slip with his words.

"You're so mean!" natasha.

"Suall" Caesar replied.

Natasha returned to her room to lay down her tired body for hours holding the sword, occasionally wiping her achy arms.

"Based on a lunatic, there is no mercy on women!"

Natasha closed her eyes for a while due to exhaustion, then she reopened her eyes.

"Why are you so weak Catherine, it's your fault you've just complained" Natasha slapped both her cheeks in annoyance until both her cheeks turned red.

"You can't be like this! You must be strong, you are now carrying a new destiny, you must change for destiny!" he said to himself.

Natasha got up from her bed and walked towards the kitchen, there was something important she wanted to ask Elly and Avilyn.

It looks like Elly is packing kitchen utensils, and Avilyn is washing dishes.

From a distance Natasha saw those who were busy working. Natasha decided not to bother them.

"Do I ask you" Natasha turned around and headed to her father's room.

Tok tok tok tok

"Dad? are you busy?" Natasha stood at the door waiting for her father to answer.

Until the voice he was waiting for answered "Come in".

Natasha goes into her father's room, but Louis is busy with paper piling up on his desk.

"What's up Natasha?" ask her while signing one by one the papers in front of her.

"Oh dad's busy? I-I'm sorry I interrupted dad's work"

"I want to ask you about the winter stone, do you know where it came from?"

Louis leaves his job and tells Natasha to sit in his front seat.

"Of course I know" Louis started telling me about that winter rock.

...****************...

"HEII you, keep digging! HEY, there don't stop! if it stops, you won't get any food until tomorrow morning" the guards kept ordering the workers to dig.

The workers immediately carried out the escort orders with an unbearable hunger. For three days they had not been fed by the bodyguards, and were constantly ordered to dig non-stop.

"Why is my fate like this" said one of the workers while digging the ground.

"If I were rich and knowledgeable, I would not have entered this seclusion. When can I get out of this hell" the worker complained in a soft tone as he lifted the hoe and continued digging.

"Plank"

A stone was stuck on the digger of one of the workers. The stone was extremely shiny giving off light. The worker immediately covered the stone with earth so that it was not known by the guards, and he intended to take the stone at night.

At nightfall, the worker sneaked so that his leg was not heard by one of the guards who were asleep in front of the gate.

Slowly he dug, the stone was not too deep he planted it, even he dug by hand without any tools.

when the stone was obtained, the worker immediately went from the excavation site and met with one of the sellers outside the gate.

The salesman was already waiting hastily in front of that gate.

"This is the stone I'm talking to you about, is it expensive to sell? look at this stone so sparkling! it must be expensive!" said the worker while showing the stone he was carrying.

The worker had intended to sell it to one of the sellers outside the exile area. In a soft tone, they talked to each other and made a deal.

"This stone is the stone that the king sought! I'll buy it" said the seller while taking the money out of his pocket.

"This... I paid him dearly, is that enough?" ask the seller while looking around with anxiety.

"More than enough! it's stone. Now that the stone is yours, I will use this money to get out of here"

The worker smiled, because his suffering was coming to an end. The seller immediately left, the stone he would sell again at a more expensive price.

"I will sell it at a high price, who can quickly, no matter that this stone is what the king seeks. This is definitely worth it! The fool, just willing to take a little money" the seller laughed loudly.

The worker forgets that he is not a knowledgeable person, he is blinded by a lot of money but if it is added up, the money can only buy a loaf of bread.

The pleasure of the seller is only a moment, it turns out that the worker's plan failed. The king had learned that the stone had been found and the King was searching by extracting information from the worker. The order of the King has been decided, twenty guards are sent to search one by one the houses that are near in exile.

Hearing the news, the seller tried to run away and hide the stone in his selling basket.

"I don't want to be caught, how is this?" the seller was confused and happened to see a river.

"I threw it away." but he was in a dilemma with his decision.

"But this is very valuable, it will be very expensive if sold"

On the other hand, he also thought about his life if caught by those people. The seller decided to immerse the stone with his basket.
