Progress

Leaving the Emperor's Palace, Astrid walked through the golden palace corridors.

The blazing sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the girl's dark lace headband and the shawls draped over her shoulders, casting a brighter glow on her silver hair than usual.

In the proposal to start a newspaper, Hibbort had placed great trust in her and offered significant support.

Not only was he willing to use his influence as a backer, but he also promised to provide all the assistance he could.

There was no doubt that Hibbort Valeria, as an adoptive father, was a kind and loving one.

He genuinely cared for the daughter of his late friend, who was not related to him by blood.

Beyond political support, he even allocated a substantial amount of start-up capital to her, addressing her immediate needs.

With Hibbort's endorsement, Astrid's future actions would face little resistance from external forces.
