10th November 3981, The War in Heaven Memorial Day. Neo Constantinople, Deneb Prime, Deneb System.

A blond-haired woman who seemed to be in her mid-30s standing on the landing platform. Alongside her are soldiers of Deneb, the best Deneb could offer, and a group of people that seemed to be highly influential.

"The shuttle is entering the atmosphere, Madam Governor. They will be here shortly." Said one of the people who stood beside her.

The woman is the current governor of Deneb Sector, Governor Hannah Pryce. The governor only gives her aide an understanding nod, as she looks ahead, expecting the arrival of the shuttle.

Not long after, a shuttle landed on the platform of the Governor's Office on Deneb Prime. With the presence of the Governor and the best soldiers Deneb could offer, it was surely a welcoming committee for a person of influence.

The shuttle opens its ramps, and several people came out of the shuttle. A group of Cerberus soldiers in full armor and armed were guarding what it seems, another Cerberus soldier, but it was clear that the soldier in question was of higher importance as the soldiers around them, including the Governor saluted.

"Welcome back to Deneb Prime, Young Master Lucius."

The Cerberus soldier took off his helmet and showed his facial features. Black raven hair, oval-shaped face, blue eyes as bright as a Neutron Star, and he appears to be in his mid-20s. His name is Lucius Aurelius, son of Augustus Aurelius III, a Colonel of Cerberus.

"It's good to be back, Governor Pryce." Lucius saluted back at her.

The two figures walked side-by-side, with Cerberus and the Governor's guards accompanying them.

"I am truly honored that you would attend the Memorial Day on Deneb. I hope I did not trouble you, Young Master." She said.

"Nonsense. My father certainly liked it if I visit Deneb often. After all, it's where Mother came, and where she stayed." Lucius replied. "On that note, I wish to visit my mother. It has been a while."

"I have prepared your accommodation here, Young Master. The populace would like to see you in the memorial." Governor Pryce said. "The people would like to see a member of the Imperial Family paying his respects to the fallen. Remember the memorial starts at 1500."

"Of course, I would be there." He replied. "Nevertheless, it's not hurt to explore. And who knows, get lucky with some girls too."

"*Sigh*, just be there Lucius."

"Of course, Aunt Hannah. I was merely joking." Lucius said as he gave his reassuring smile.

"On that note, I must get prepared. A Governor's job is never done. I will see you at the memorial. Don't. Be. Late."

"Of course, Aunt Hannah. You will see me in all of its glory."

Governor Pryce saluted at the young man as it was customary to do so to a member of the Imperial Family, and Lucius saluted back as she in a sense a member of the Imperial Family.

The two parted ways, as the Young Master of the Imperium watched the governor and her entourage walk with her to her next business. What he doesn't know, or refuses to know, is that the Cerberus soldiers who were with him were gawking at the swaying hips of the governor.

"For an old woman, she's got it going on huh." One of the Cerberus soldiers commented.

"Oi, watch it. That's my aunt." Lucius warned them.

"What, she's like, 350-ish? She still looked good." One of them jabbed in.

"She's 150 years younger than the Imperator." Another said. "Everyone in the Imperium is good-looking, but damn, she's hot."
