There was no way for Benjamin to set spies in the City of Snow, so it was not easy for him to gather information about what had happened at the Palace. He could only send some people there to investigate carefully.
Nevertheless, the next morning, the investigators had barely departed before news from the City of Snow reached them.
"Sir, last night… it seems the Palace was almost buried."
Benjamin was stunned.
"What? Give me the details."
The other answered, "Last night, the weather in the City of Snow underwent a huge change. It had been really dry, hot weather, but a huge piece of cloud suddenly appeared in the sky above the Palace. Right after that, the sky started raining hail."
…...Hail?
Benjamin was dumbfounded.
It was still autumn now; normally it would never have hailed. Adding to what had happened last night, he could not but connect the ice hail to his own icebreaking spell.
Could it be his doing?
"And then?" After thinking, he continued to ask.
