To be honest, Padmé still feels a little confused and has no idea how she and Anakin survived that night...
Or it could be said that she had no idea how her Jedi Knight Anakin could single-handedly destroy all the bounty hunters who were chasing her?
Anyway, all she knew was that she waited anxiously in the dark house for almost an hour, until someone moved away the huge stone blocking the door, until she held an iron rod from the Sand People in panic. After rushing towards the opponent and being easily disarmed and held in his arms, she realized that her Anakin had somehow won, defeated all the bounty hunters, and successfully saved her, Pad. Mae Amidala?
Then, what the other party did next made her feel a little ashamed and angry just thinking about it!
Because, the other party stripped her naked without saying a word. When she was resisting and angrily scolding the other party, thinking that the other party would do some inappropriate things to her, that annoying bad guy actually threw it at her. Coming for a new hooded smock from who knows where, but not at all what she imagined? !
at last……
Maybe it was shame and anger, maybe she was angry, or maybe she was too sleepy and tired, but in short, nothing happened between her and him!
Then, after she got dressed, he immediately pulled her away from the dark little village with corpses all the way, and then found a spaceship captured from a bounty hunter and flew to Mos Eisley. After selling the spaceship in Mos Eisley and replacing it with a smaller, fast spacecraft, I embarked on the journey again, and finally arrived at Coruscant today, and began to enter the port according to the instructions sent by the port guide. Under the guidance of the code, we slowly began to dock.
Along the way, Padme thoughtfully did not ask how the other party won, because she also knew that destroying so many bounty hunters and killing so many people... that kind of thing was very difficult for the Jedi apprentice Anakin. For sure, it would not be something worth celebrating.
"..."
"Anakin, tell me, now that we have arrived at Coruscant, can I see you again in the future?"
Looking at the busy Coruscant planet with a silvery metallic luster in the distance in the distance, I thought about the turmoil along the way, the pleasant interactions between the two people along the way, and their experiences of life and death, and then the embarrassment later on. As well as the few days it took to return to Coruscant from Tatooine and the parting that was about to come, Padmé felt a little reluctant to let go for some reason.
She really wanted to throw herself into the other person's arms and take advantage of the last moment to have some tenderness. However, thinking about her identity and the other person's identity, and thinking about the fact that she was about to dock in port, she was worried that someone would see her. However, she still endured it with some reserve, turned her head silently, looked at the thousands of busy spaceships outside the cockpit and sighed softly.
"..."
"I don't know either……"
After handing over the spacecraft to the automatic program to manage and execute the port entry agreement, Anakin finally couldn't help but turn his head, looking at Padmé's delicate side face and feeling slightly dazed.
Although he himself was very reluctant to give up, some things were not based on their will after all.
Although the other party is no longer the queen of Naboo, she is still a senator of the Galactic Parliament, and Anakin himself is just a small Jedi apprentice. His identity and status are too disparate. In addition, some of the Jedi knights These dogmas and codes, he really couldn't give Padmé too many guarantees...
Moreover, Padmé's identity will also make her subconsciously alienate him. In addition, the other party is still being rewarded by the remnants of the Trade Federation and is always in danger. Therefore, he must also do other more things. In order to completely eliminate those dangers as soon as possible one day in the future, it is impossible to stay with the other party all the time.
"but!"
"I will definitely make time to visit you! Padmé, I promise you!!"
However, after seeing the vague look of reluctance on the other party's face, he gritted his teeth and assured the other party.
"Um……"
"If I have time, I will also look for opportunities to go to the Jedi Temple to see you..."
Farewell was imminent and Padmé would soon arrive at the port of Coruscant and dock, but Padmé didn't know what to say.
However, subconsciously, she felt that if she had not resisted so much that night in the Sand People Village and just let the other person do something to her or she took the initiative to do something, then the relationship between her and him now would be The relationship wouldn't be so awkward, right?
"..."
"..."
Not long after, with the two people looking at each other in silence and brewing some emotions, the spacecraft finally landed smoothly on a platform heavily guarded by the guards of the Galactic Republic and Jedi Knights and opened the hatch, allowing the two to They had no choice but to put away their inexplicable moods and walked down the stairs of the spacecraft together.
"It's been a hard journey!"
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Excellency Senator Padmé Amidala. I heard that you are stepping down as Queen of Naboo? I am very sorry about this, because we all know that you have always done a good job. …”
"However, it is great news that you can come to Coruscant as a representative of Naboo and serve as a senator!"
As soon as the two came down, Obi-Wan, who had been waiting below with several Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters for a long time, nodded towards Anakin and then walked up to Padmé Amidala and was friendly. They saluted and greeted each other.
After all, for Obi-Wan, Padmé's current identity is not just a senator in the parliament, she is also his old friend and an important person who is entrusted to protect him. He will definitely be more concerned about it. .
"Nice to see you too, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi!"
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for nearly ten years. You seem to have changed a lot. You are no longer the apprentice you were back then..."
Padmé was obviously very happy to see an old friend again, so she showed a rare smile and teased him.
"ah!"
"Senator, you misunderstood. I am not a Jedi Master yet, I am just a Jedi Knight."
"No! Obi-Wan..."
"You can teach Anakin so well. It is not an exaggeration to call you a 'master'. In my opinion, you are not inferior to other masters at all."
"Senator, you're welcome..."
"Please come this way. We have arranged for you a safe place to live, soldiers responsible for guarding you, and several Jedi Knights and Masters on duty. We will definitely ensure your safety during these days on Coruscant!"
After not seeing each other for a few years, Obi-Wan felt that the former queen in front of him, this Padmé Amidala, seemed to have become more eloquent than before, which made him feel very useful? However, now was not the time to say those kind words after all, so after a few short conversations and reminiscing about old times, he introduced the other party to the guards and Jedi masters responsible for security work.
Those are the people specially selected by the Jedi Council, who can definitely ensure the safety of Padmé, the senator, on the planet Coruscant!
"!!"
"Master Obi-Wan, I just wanted to ask, why are there so many soldiers and Jedi Knights here? Isn't this Coruscant?"
"Is it possible that someone else dares to assassinate me here?!"
There were more than a dozen teams of bounty hunters staring at her on the way here. Of course Padme knew that kind of thing, but now this was Coruscant, the capital planet of the Galactic Republic. She couldn't believe it. Here, those bounty hunters still dare to mess around?
"Your Excellency Senator..."
"As long as they have enough money, there is nothing people like them dare not do! In fact... the day your interstellar royal ship arrived at Coruscant, your stand-in was attacked, but fortunately the other party did not succeed. otherwise……"
Otherwise, Obi-Wan wouldn't have dared to continue talking. Anyway, those daring guys did do crazy things like openly attacking a senator at the port, so now he couldn't help but be more cautious.
"That's it..."
"I understand, thank you for your arrangement."
After nodding and glancing at Anakin, Padme said nothing more and walked silently to the Jedi Masters and Jedi Knights on the other side, and began to talk to them in a low voice and introduce each other.
"call!"
"It's a whole day later than expected. How about it, Anakin? Is the journey going smoothly?"
Obi-Wan was very pleased that Anakin was able to fulfill his mission and escort Senator Padmé to Coruscant safely. Therefore, he was waiting for what the Jedi masters would say to Padmé. When he was there, he approached his little junior brother and asked with concern.
"smoothly?!"
"Ah!"
"Obi-Wan, you don't know that we were almost killed by your so-called absolutely safe line! It was a pure luck that we came back alive!"
Of course, in addition to luck, it must also be attributed to some special arrangements made by Anakin. Otherwise, in that case, it would be too much for Master Yoda!
Anyway, he definitely wouldn't believe that with the power of Master Yoda, he could deal with a hunting gang composed of many powerful and elite bounty hunters with one enemy, let alone protect him. Padmé!
"never mind!"
"It's better not to say anything anymore, everything is over!"
Anakin didn't want to bring it up again, at least not here.
Because after returning to the Jedi Temple, he would definitely need to explain the situation to the elders. Before that, he would have to think carefully about how to say it so as not to reveal his secret? At least, he had to think about what to do so that his words and Padmé's description could corroborate each other, and he also had to ensure that no one could see anything wrong.
"Then don't rush to say it, we will have plenty of time in the future!"
"Come on, follow me to the Jedi Council to meet the elders. As for Padmé, her safety is now naturally the responsibility of those Jedi masters. There will definitely be no problem."
The Jedi Council made strict arrangements for Padmé's accommodation, food, clothing, housing and transportation on Coruscant, and even sent several female Jedi to serve as the opponent's personal bodyguards. That kind of treatment was something that even Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was not eligible to enjoy. , so there shouldn’t be a big security problem?
At least, it is still very safe on the planet Coruscant!
"Are you going to see the elder now?"
"But why is this?"
Anakin was a little confused, because according to convention, the elders usually summoned him to ask about the status of the mission after a few days, but now, he had just arrived in Coruscant and was summoned to give a lecture. That's extremely rare.
"Why else?"
"Anakin, don't you understand the meaning of what you have done?!"
Obi-Wan, who was dumbfounded, did not explain, but sighed, shook his head and asked directly looking into Anakin's eyes.
"!!"
"what did I do?"
Suddenly, Anakin began to feel uneasy, and his eyes gradually became a little flicker. He didn't dare to look at Obi-Wan and secretly made some related preparations.
"well……"
"You killed so many bounty hunters, more than two hundred...Now, that incident is going to spread throughout the galaxy, and they call you the Jedi Butcher, the Bounty Buster, and the Evil Executioner...whatever the title is. A lot, so do you think the elders will come to you immediately to have a good talk?"
Seeing that the other party dared to speak harshly, Obi-Wan, who thought that Coruscant, the Jedi Temple, and himself, who were at the political, economic, cultural, and military center of the galaxy, and other Jedi knights, would not know anything about it, asked Obi-Wan in confusion.
"ah!"
"But...Obi-Wan, there's nothing I can do!"
"The situation at that time, you know, it was just Padme and I. I needed to protect her, and we were alone. I had to go all out. If I didn't kill them, I would be the one who died now. And Padmé!"
"I do not have any choice!!"
It turned out that this was the case, which made Anakin secretly relieved, and at the same time he pretended to argue with reason.
He almost thought it was because he and his swarm were exposed. If that was the case, he might have had no choice but to launch his plan in advance and escape from Coruscant... But fortunately, he was just attacked by this abominable person in front of him. Obi-Wan was so scared that he was worried for nothing.
"okay!"
"Anakin, you did a good job indeed. If it were me, I wouldn't have done better than you. I also think you did nothing wrong, although you did kill a little more people..."
"But the elders don't see it that way! What they care about is not those damn bounty hunters, they care about you! Because Master Yoda will think that you have used the forbidden power of the other side of the force, which is very Dangerous, you know?”
After staring at Anakin, Obi-Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted the other man on the shoulder, not feeling much wrong with him.
"!!"
"But I didn't!"
Yes, Anakin did not use the forbidden power on the other side of the Force. He didn't even do it from the beginning to the end. Those were all done by the 'children' of his Insect Swarm No. 1. He was just there the whole time. They were just watching, and they didn’t kill any bounty hunters at all!
The only people he killed with his own hands were the Sand People who deserved their punishment, but he didn't tell anyone about that, including Padmé! Therefore, he firmly believed that the elders of the Jedi Council would not know about that matter.
"It's no use telling me!"
"Let's go. The elders have been waiting for you in the tower for a long time. Our irresponsible teacher is also here. He should be able to help you out. Just answer the elders' questions!"
"But Anakin, you have to remember!"
"When the elders are lecturing, don't talk too much, and don't try to defend... Just read more, use your brain to think more, talk less, and pretend to be asking for advice humbly. Do you understand?"
Obi-Wan looked like he was a veteran, and whispered to his junior brother Anakin, almost as if he was going to teach him how to fool the elders of the Jedi Council.
"yes……"
If it were just the bounty hunter stuff, Anakin thought he could still handle it, it was just a matter of making up a lie about how he killed everyone! However, the lie must be both true and false, otherwise it will not be easy to deceive the elders.
Especially Elder Yoda, every time he looked at me, it was as if he could reveal his disguise. If Anakin's Zero Swarm Hive hadn't made some necessary adjustments and enhancements to him, I'm afraid he would have been exposed. He couldn't stop the other party from peeking into his heart.
"Anakin..."
Padmé, who had just heard some of Obi-Wan's words, came over at this time. Obviously, she was a little worried about Anakin. After all, the other party did that for her. If he was tired, he would be killed by the elders of the Jedi Council. If they are in trouble, she will definitely feel bad and have an uneasy conscience.
"I'm fine!"
"Don't worry, Padmé. I'll go back with Obi-Wan to recover first. I'll visit you again when I have the chance. Goodbye..."
Obi-Wan urged him a little hastily. Anakin did not dare to stay any longer and was afraid that others would see that there was something wrong between him and Padmé. Therefore, after nodding, he hurriedly sat down with Obi-Wan. A convertible hover car.
Are there some things that are not good for Padmé as a council member or for him as a Jedi knight, especially before they can't control their own destiny?
Therefore, Anakin, who did not dare to reveal more, felt that it would be better for him to avoid the suspicion for a while.
"Then it's settled!"
"I will also call Elder Yoda and give you a few words of defense!!"
Watching Anakin's hover car roar away first, Padmé couldn't do much besides waving at him.
Now that she had arrived safely on the planet Coruscant, it was time for her to put aside some things and concentrate on dealing with the more important urgent matters that she came here from Naboo to deal with.
You must know that she, Padmé Amidala, is a senator and representative of Naboo appointed by the new queen of Naboo. Then she must be responsible for the people of Naboo and the Galactic Republic, and be committed to restoring the galaxy. and make the greatest effort she can for the sake of peace!
