Umojan is the purest corner of the human world in the Koprulu Sector, much like the bright dimples of a young girl's smile.

This beautiful planet boasts a romantic orange sky and fresh, fragrant air. Cities built of stainless steel and glass stand amidst vast plains and winding rivers, while on the boundless grasslands lie the pastures of the Umojan herders and their leisurely grazing cattle and sheep.

The Pasteur Family's estate is a vast, symmetrical, and harmonious complex of silver buildings. These magnificent and well-proportioned structures, composed of white steel and wide-pane bronze windows, resemble clusters of shimmering silver and regular crystals in the sunlight.

In front of the manor villa is a garden enclosed by a fence, planted with a wide variety of green vegetation. The slightly raised trellises are covered with lush green vines, and the vines are laden with many berries and raspberries unique to Umojan.

Gardening robots watch over their owner's beloved garden day and night, watering flowers and mowing lawns, selecting and replacing garden plants to keep it evergreen throughout the year, with flowers still blooming even in the cold winter.

In the lush and verdant garden, there is a winding stream with clear water flowing gently, and the banks are lined with soft, manicured lawns.

Augustus's aircraft landed on the heat-resistant ceramic landing platform of the private helipad at Pasteur Estate. The faint fragrance in the air made him think he was in a garden world, which shows that the Umojan people had done a very good job of protecting their home environment during the hundreds of years of rapid development.

The white steel city and manor of Umojan, shimmering with pale blue lights, coexist harmoniously with nature, complementing each other and creating a picturesque scene.

After the spacecraft came to a stop, Augustus shook hands with the pilot in the main seat to say goodbye and then jumped out. The spacecraft and the pilot belonged to the Umojan Protectorate, so he didn't have to worry about his whereabouts being exposed. At most, others would only know that he had boarded a starship bound for Korhal.

The sun was shining brightly; it was early morning in Umojan. Above Augustus was a beautiful orange sky, and the faint scent of flowers reminded him that he was in an alien world. Just outside the small helipad was the Pasteur Family's lush, flower-filled garden, where robotic gardeners with white metal shells worked.

This is a technologically advanced world where emerging technologies can be seen in every aspect of life in Umojan.

Since only a few people, including Ailin Pasteur, knew of Augustus's arrival, no one was waiting for him on the tarmac. Besides visiting his family in Umojan, Augustus's main purpose was to go to the headquarters of the Umojan Protectorate.

After obtaining conscription permission from the popularly elected council of Umojan, Augustus also planned to recruit a large number of volunteers on the planet.

Ailin Pasteur is not at his estate today; he spends most of the year either in Korhal, the Umojan Council, or traveling between the two.

Guided by a hurried butler, Augustus walked through the garden into the Pasteur Family mansion. It was a building trimmed with white steel and marble, with wide bronze frames forming the doors and windows, and stained glass with gradient colors on the round vaulted ceiling. Umojan's architecture emphasized symmetry and harmony.

This is a beautiful and peaceful world, with a culture and architectural style that are quite different from the desolate world of Meinhoff.

Led by the butler, Augustus walked through a series of corridors with large glass windows that let in sunlight and entered the living room of the Pasteur Family mansion. He noticed that the furnishings of the Pasteur Family were quite different from the luxury of the Tarsonis nobles, but every piece of wooden furniture or display case was an exquisite work of art.

Augustus entered a room with hardwood floors in the Pasteur Villa, he heard a joyful scream. Dorothy, wearing a black and white checkered dress, ran quickly toward her brother, while her mother, Katherine, and a blonde woman with her hair piled high on a bun sat on a sofa, peeling fruit with a knife.

He immediately realized that it was Juliana Pasteur, the current mistress of Pasteur Estate, the only daughter of Ailin Pasteur, the diplomat of Umojan, and the mother of Valerian, son of Arcturus.

It must be said that Juliana is quite charming. Wearing a casual white dress, she still has a slender figure like a young girl. It's clear that Katherine likes Juliana very much. They are very similar, both possessing aristocratic elegance and the demeanor of a lady of the house, and are proficient in etiquette, cooking, gardening, history, geography, and all the skills that people believe a noblewoman should possess.

Katherine was a very strong woman, and Augustus believed that Juliana was no weakling either.

Before he could even offer his greetings, Augustus's eyelids suddenly twitched. He noticed a little girl with a white dress and golden pigtails standing next to his mother, Katherine.

The little girl had smooth, milky white skin and shimmering golden hair. Her large, cold gray eyes, just like Augustus's, confirmed her Mengsk Family lineage, which almost made Augustus let out a painful groan.

Compared to Augustus a child, Valerian's facial features were softer. Even from Augustus's perspective as his uncle, the child seemed a bit too feminine; his father Arcturus's face was more hardened, as if sculpted by a knife and axe.

Perhaps Valerian was naturally rather delicate, so Augustus didn't find it out of place at all. That's understandable, since men generally like short skirts.

"Augustus, you should have told me you were coming back sooner," his mother, Katherine, said, her joy mixed with a hint of reproach.

"This is dangerous. I can't communicate with you anymore, because that could very well expose your location." Augustus walked toward his mother, and at that moment he felt Juliana shift slightly, looking uneasy, and adjusting her skirt.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Augustus of the Mengsk family," Juliana Augustus.

"Me too. Juliana, I apologize to you for my foolish brother." Augustus flashed his signature smile. He had no idea that his smile was so similar to that of eighteen-year-old Arcturus that it made Juliana's heart flutter.

"Who is this? Is it Dad?" Little Valerian smiled happily. He had never seen his father before, only a picture of Arcturus when he was twenty.

Like many children, Valerian adored his father, whom he had never met, and longed to see him day and night.

"This is your uncle," Katherine said to Valerian with a smile.
