It had only been half a month.
In this era where the flow of information was far from convenient...
The news of the ancestral mother awakening from her dragon slumber had already spread across the world.
The first to discover this were the people of Noah. To be more precise, it was the steam freighters clustered near Winter.
Leading the charge was the company founded by retired soldiers who transitioned after the Eldest Princess failed to secure the throne. This was the top-rated maritime company within the Kingdom of Noah, established through a royal bid and shareholder subscription.
After the royal family acquired half of its shares, its original name no longer mattered.
It would receive a new, prestigious name—simply titled "Noah Maritime Company," devoid of any suffix. Its operations expanded from mere sea freight to encompass fisheries, seafood processing, deep-sea resource extraction, international trade, and tourism.
