After many years apart...
Naboo, this planet is located near the outer edge of the Milky Way. It has a beautiful environment and is like an idyllic world. It is mainly inhabited by Naboo people and intelligent amphibian indigenous creatures Gangans (Gungans). Young Jedi apprentices Anakin is back here again.
All in all, Anakin has not been to Naboo for ten years, and now it is still as beautiful and peaceful as he imagined... Naboo and Ganga are dotted in the capital city of Sid. Strolling back and forth comfortably on the streets with green trees and red flowers, peaceful and serene, busy but not crowded, the morning sun shining down seemed to hang a veil over this poetic city, just like the one hidden in his heart The same beautiful woman.
Anyway, that's what Anakin thought. He never thought that coming to Naboo again would make him feel so happy?
However, one thing that surprised him a little was: some of the wording and descriptions in the emergency mission assigned to him by Obi-Wan were not accurate?
Because now Padmé Amidala, who gradually overlaps with the beautiful shadow in his heart, is no longer the queen of Naboo.
After serving two terms, not long ago, she finally took the initiative to step down from the highest position of Queen of Naboo, and let another young woman who was re-elected by the people of Naboo serve as the new Queen of Naboo. And she is now just a representative of Naboo and a member of the Galactic Parliament.
but……
It is precisely because of this that she needs to go to the planet Coruscant as soon as possible to report to the Galactic Parliament in the capital of the Galactic Republic and needs the full protection of a Jedi Knight, especially now that someone is openly offering a reward for her, the former Queen of Naboo. In the case of Padmé Amidala's head?
In fact, Padmé Amidala was not pedantic. She didn't mind the Jedi Council sending a Jedi to protect her, but she just didn't like it a little bit... However, what made her feel a little overjoyed was: the one who was The Jedi sent to protect her was not a stranger, but a childhood friend she had not seen for ten years. It was the Anakin who haunted her, had a deep friendship, and lived and died together. ·Skywalker?
Senator Padmé Amidala expressed her great satisfaction with this, and expressed her sincere gratitude to the Jedi Council for its considerate and humanistic care!
"Why!"
"To be honest, Anakin, I never thought that the Jedi Knight sent would be you..."
"You have really become a powerful Jedi Knight, congratulations!"
Without the gentlemanly behavior of refusing the other party to carry the gift for her, Padmé Amidala easily led the other party to the corridor inside the Naboo Palace, while turning her head and jokingly joking at the other party with a smile.
To be honest, if the Jedi Council had sent another Jedi to protect her, even an old acquaintance like Master Qui-Gon Jinn or Obi-Wan, she would never be as happy and relaxed as she is now. .
As for why, she didn't know. Anyway, she felt that there was really no one who could satisfy her more than Anakin Skywalker.
"Yes!"
"I didn't expect that I would suddenly receive such a mission..."
Indeed, Anakin himself was quite surprised, because he had originally just worked with Obi-Wan to find an excuse to go out, and went to Tatooine specifically to find and rescue his mother. That's all, although the process was a bit tortuous and hard to accept... But he never thought that he would suddenly receive such an urgent mission and be able to meet this beautiful lady in front of him again.
Yes……
At this time, Padmé Amidala was no longer a young little girl queen. Ten years later, she had grown up like herself and turned into a charming and charming woman. The originally uneasy heart couldn't help but become restless.
"but……"
"Padmé, I still don't understand, why are you suddenly no longer the queen of Naboo?"
Anakin, who was a little confused, still felt that the other party was obviously a good queen, and she had saved Naboo and the Galactic Republic ten years ago, and her achievements were beyond the sky, but now she suddenly no longer is the queen. Isn't it a pity that you gave up the throne to someone else?
"Do you still think so?"
"Anakin, I have been the queen for two terms. Although they have said that they want to amend the constitution so that I can continue to be the queen legally... However, I still feel that I was too young when I became the queen. , so that many things are not thought mature enough and things are done too radically, so now I want to think and live in a different identity. After all, being a queen all the time will be very tiring!"
"Now that I think about it, I feel that I still don't have the ability to lead a country. So, setting an example and following the ancient constitution, so that others can contribute their own strength to this beautiful planet, that is what a person should do." That’s what a qualified queen should do.”
Padmé didn't think there was anything wrong with her stepping down as queen and becoming a member and representative of the Galactic Republic's parliament. Besides, it's too late for the other party to say anything now. She has already resigned, and the new queen has been selected. Everything is a foregone conclusion.
"..."
"But your subjects think you have done a good job and are very competent. Maybe you should continue to be..."
Anyway, Anakin only knows that the beautiful and virtuous Padmé Amidala is gone, and now she has become Congressman Padmé Amidala... Although she is still her, he always feels a little unhappy, As for the reason, he didn't know why.
Possibly, it was because the halo in memory of his absolute partner suddenly disappeared, making him feel a little uncomfortable or at a loss what to do?
"No!"
"Anakin, I won't accept it! Because I am very satisfied with my current life. Two terms of being as nervous as covering thin ice have long made me a little overwhelmed... Now I am fine. After letting go of everything, I feel It’s really good. I like the more relaxed life now. I don’t have too much restraint. I feel like I am me again, not the queen who needs to be careful about her words and deeds!”
"That's really true!"
"and!"
"Am I still the senatorial representative of Naboo now? Anyway, both the queen and the senator are contributing to Naboo, so it makes no difference to me."
Shrugging, Padmé was a little amused but also slightly moved by Anakin's funny and childish behavior of constantly complaining about his resignation from the throne, because she knew that the other person was caring and caring. she.
However, now that her term has expired and she has resigned, it is too late to say anything. Naboo has Naboo's laws, and she also has her own principles, and she will not change them easily for anyone.
"All right……"
"I agree with this. In addition to Naboo, the Galactic Republic really needs you... Padmé, I only know that you are different from everyone else. You are different from those other members. Not only do you serve Naboo... Bu, you have also done a lot for the Galactic Republic, and that is why I have always admired you!"
Looking at the other party's side face, which was very different from when he was the queen, with a slight relaxed smile, Anakin couldn't help being a little stunned. Then he suddenly felt that maybe it was the right choice for the other party to no longer be the queen?
Because he felt that the current Padmé was more approachable than the previous Padmé. Without that aloof power, he only felt that the distance between him and her suddenly became closer.
"Maybe……"
"But I didn't do as well as you said. When I was the queen, I couldn't retain the army of the Federation of Heroes and that Admiral Nova. If I could retain them, maybe the current Galactic Republic would not be like this. Looks like it."
"I really hope those separatists can wake up... In that case, the galaxy will not be in such serious turmoil and the threat of all-out war."
Thinking again of some shortcomings and mistakes in her work during her term of office, Padmé began to sigh and regret deeply, and lowered her head. Where was the relaxed, happy and comfortable look before?
"ah?"
"But, Padmé, they...I mean Admiral Nova and their Hero Federation army, they really withdrew, and there is nothing left?!"
Although he already knew this, Anakin couldn't help but confirm it again.
Because the former Queen of Naboo in front of her has been staying on the Naboo planet, plus the previous army of the Federation of Heroes, which was formed by Admiral Nova and high-ranking councilors. The 'Great Republic Army' was also stationed here on Naboo in the later period, so if those guys really withdrew, then Padmé would undoubtedly be the most vocal and informed person, bar none. !
"Yes!"
"I tried hard to keep them, Anakin, really, I swear!"
"I tried all my methods, but they left in the end, leaving only a small office in the city. There was only a housekeeping robot staying there. Naboo and any other place around it There is not even half a member of the Federation of Heroes or any of their warships left in the known star field..."
well……
Padmé is a little regretful, because she has always felt that her failure to retain the Commonwealth of Heroes' army and the tough-minded Admiral Nova was the biggest stain on her tenure as Queen of Naboo!
If she had worked harder and allowed the other party to keep some troops as a deterrent, maybe the Galactic Republic would not be in this situation now. But it's a pity that she didn't do it. She couldn't change anything. She just watched the troops withdraw and watched the Galactic Republic gradually evolve into a state that lacked a tough-minded high-ranking member to suppress it. The current chaos is worse than it was ten years ago.
"That's it..."
"That's really a pity."
Anakin nodded secretly and said nothing more.
Because he didn't pay attention to Padmé's frustrated expression at all, but frowned and thought about him and was secretly happy, and finally made some determination. Because now, the guys who could possibly restrain Anakin no longer exist!
"Let's go!"
"Anakin, don't talk about those past things. I will take you to meet our new queen of Naboo now. After we talk about the matter, we can set off later and go directly to the capital planet Coruscant!"
Padmé didn't think much when she saw Anakin's look. She thought he was worried about her or something, so after she breathed a sigh of relief, she smiled and gently pulled Anakin's shoulder. The wrist leads the way forward.
"good!"
"However, Padmé, your situation is very dangerous now. You must listen to me on the way to Coruscant, including the route, stops along the way, etc.!"
When he heard the other party talk about business, of course Anakin would not lose his temper. He quickly picked up his energy and mentioned the precautions that required the other party's consent. After all, Padmé was now named as the target of a bounty. God knows what those crazy bounty hunters would do. No matter what kind of thing he does, he must clearly explain the seriousness of the situation to the other party.
"certainly!"
"No problem! You are my Jedi, of course I will listen to you!"
It was rare that after no longer being the queen, Padme seemed to be no longer as stubborn as before, and she did not refute Anakin's words.
"ah!!"
"A-Anakin..."
However, not long after holding Anakin's arm, Padme was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand.
"What's wrong?"
"you……"
"Anakin, how come you have that terrible thing on your body?"
"ah?!"
"What are you talking about? This is my pet. It's a very well-behaved pet. It's a larva."
"!!"
"P-take it away...Anakin, how could you raise something like this?!"
"Can't you?"
"Padme, look, it's very smart..."
"No!"
"Please keep it away from me! Anakin, no matter how smart it is, it is still a bug. You should release it soon, right?"
"..."
"You don't like it?"
"Um……"
"Believe me, no sane woman would like it!"
"But…..."
"Are you sure you want me to just release it on Naboo?"
After talking for a few words, Anakin seemed a little hesitant, not sure whether he should listen to Padmé.
"Let it go, the ecology of this planet is not as fragile as you think. Such a small bug will definitely not be able to reproduce, and it will not cause ecological invasion."
Padmé urged with a look of disgust, because when she thought of Anakin having such a disgusting thing on his body, she couldn't help but want to stay away from him.
"Maybe……"
"However, if it is Padme's opinion, then I choose to accept it!"
Anakin didn't say anything more, he just stared at the bug silently, moved his lips and said something as if to say goodbye, then threw it directly into the flowers in the palace.
Anyway, he had originally wanted to do this, but he had been hesitating... But now, since it was Padmé's request, he would naturally comply and directly choose Naboo as an incubator for his swarm. planet.
However, whether it can develop latently here on Naboo depends on its destiny.
Anyway, he has just given it instructions to grow and develop, try not to be discovered, and not to actively attack the Naboo and Ganga people (Gungans). Presumably, there won't be any big trouble in a short time. of.
'! ! '
'Your Excellency, Senator Amidala, are you finally here? Come on in, Her Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. '
'? ? '
'Who is this……'
'This is Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Knight sent by the Jedi Council to escort me to the planet Coruscant. Can I take him with me? '
'ah! '
'Turns out to be a Jedi? '
'It's really surprising that such a young and handsome guy can actually...'
'Oh, sorry! Since this gentleman is a distinguished Jedi, of course he can come in. Please come in, Mr. Skywalker, and Her Majesty the Queen will definitely be happy to see you. '
'...'
'Thanks! '
When he walked to a door with two red doors, a female official had been waiting in front of the door for a long time.
Then, when she saw Padmé and Anakin, she came up to them as soon as possible, and even briefly asked them a few words, then quickly nodded, turned around, opened the door, and handed them over. Welcomed in.
'Senator Amidala, you are finally here. '
'Please come over here and take a seat...'
In the main hall inside the gate, Anakin saw a strange young Queen of Naboo who was dressed just like the Padmé he saw for the first time back then. She was already sitting leisurely in the main hall. The two of them have been waiting for a long time.
'Everyone, now we can get down to the subject of Senator Amidala's return to Coruscant...'
