"Laporos, our great leader, grant us from light-years away that we may live as good citizens to serve under your glorious will. You are the greatest leader yet and will always been within our hearts."
Imagine you could dive into the life of someone you have always admired, and who you have always wished to be. A princess, for example. Princesses get everything they want, and everyone loves them no matter what. But when you are that princess, you couldn't wish for anything more but to live a life of a citizen. I'm spoilt, ungrateful and delicate, according to my father. I'll prove him wrong one day, even if it has to be over his grave. And so it is.
When he died, I didn't feel anything that I could immediately identify - just nothing and everything. I feel bad for saying this, but I almost felt relieved, in fact, excited, for a new leader would be appointed, and that would be me.
But then I found out what he did, and now I'm here, stuck securing the immigration line on a tiny planet in the middle of nowhere in some random evacuation quadrant with no papers and my face free for all to recognise. No one recognises it, and the other guards don't even notice my imposterous nature. Oh, well. As soon as this division is moved to Quadrant A-16, I'll be able to carry out my plans in the name of my father.
