A month later...
In the top floor of Senator Padme Amidala's suite on the surface of Coruscant, and in the suite with floor-to-ceiling windows to view the beautiful scenery of the planet, Padme Amidala was packing up her things while irritating to Ga Ga Binks, who is also a member of Nab, and Anakin, who is visiting:
"You saw it!"
"I didn't expect that this time I tried every means to come to Coruscant, but I still couldn't use it at all!"
Looking at the washing and floating robot outside the window, dutifully replacing the new bulletproof glass and replacing the old glass that was cracked into a spider web and had a hideous bullet hole, Padme had just mentioned that he wanted to stay in Coruscant and couldn't help but extinguish it again.
The hideous bullet hole and the damaged huge floor-to-ceiling window glass were the result of a bounty hunter trying to kill her from a distance last night...
The special bullet shot from a place hundreds of meters away and easily penetrated the special bulletproof glass, and almost hit her who had just finished taking a shower and wiped her wet hair! Fortunately, a female Jedi was present at the time. The other party foresaw in advance and cut the physical bullet that was attacking in half with one sword, allowing her to avoid the dangerous sniper.
However, although she avoided it, the female Jedi who protected her was injured in the shoulders and abdomen, and it is said that she almost lost her life?
Therefore, in order not to continue to drag others down here and prevent those Jedi warriors from causing casualties to protect her, she decided to temporarily obey the persuasion of the elders of the Jedi Committee and return to Nabo first. After all, the vote of the Galaxy Council has ended and she has no effect on the planet Coruscant. It is obvious that her return to Nabo is a little safer than staying in Coruscant.
"They don't know the current situation of our Galactic Republic, it's an ideological problem!"
"For a full decade, the separatists have been hit by the powerful warships and armies of the Federation of Heroes! But you also saw that once the federal army retreated, they made a comeback. Simply relying on war to suppress them will definitely not solve any problem. It is an extremely wrong behavior and will only drag the Milky Way into the more chaotic war quagmire! But as a result, even though they knew it would be like that, they actually passed the vote, and gave the Supreme Speaker the right to operate urgently and the right to fight over parliament?"
“Ga Ga Binks…”
"You were used by them, and you really shouldn't have sent that vote at that time!"
As she spoke, Padme stopped and helplessly looked at the Gangan native who had just been told by her and was still helpless.
To be honest, Padme never expected that she would defend day and night, but she never expected that the problem would lie with her family member Ga Gar Binks, so that her appeals and shouts in parliament were like a joke, which made many of her allies feel a little rift towards her?
Thinking about it, everyone had already made an agreement in advance to maintain peace and oppose the Supreme Speaker to get more full efforts, but what was the result? When it came to an end, their Nab's MPs stood on the side of the war faction, which made her, the leader who claimed to be free and peaceful faction, deal with it?!
"Feel sorry!"
"Senator, I really didn't mean it, I thought..."
Obviously, Ga Ga Binx, who was smart and did something inappropriate, seemed a little depressed. He had basically realized that he seemed to have been deceived by those cunning guys!
"never mind!"
"Things have happened, and nothing is useful now."
"However, I might be away from Coruscant for a long time..."
"During this period, my duties in the Senate will be fully handed over to you. Ga Ga Binks... After I leave, you will be the full senator of Nab. You not only represent you Gungen people, but also the entire Nab. I hope that you can fulfill your duties well at that time and not be affected by those people again?"
Padme still looked a little angry, but nothing had happened. What else could she do? After all, she never thought that her people would be deceived by those guys and do something stupid, and that was under her nose?
Now, what she should be more worried about is how to explain to the queen after returning to Nabo Star... From the past, they had specially held meetings to seriously discuss how to deal with separatism, but in the end, Nabo's MPs led to the war, which made her face Padme, the former queen who claims to have rich experience in fighting and the current Senator Nabo?
Although this is not her fault, it is definitely unrealistic if she does not have any responsibility herself!
"I'm really sorry..."
"But Senator Amidala, don't worry, I will do the next thing, I promise not to make a mistake!"
Ga Gar Binks lowered his posture and did not dare to look at Padme at all, nor did he raise his head, so that his huge ears were about to hang down to the floor.
“…”
"Anakin, to be honest, I really don't want to hide like this. When will I hide?"
Padme, who was not planning to attack Gagar Binks again, thought for a while, sighed, and did not blame the other party too much. He just felt that there was nothing to explain, so he turned to Anakin, who heard that he was attacked again and had to leave Coruscant and rushed to visit him.
Speaking of which, she has been in Coruscant for such a long time, and this is the first time the other party has come to see her. How could she not have any resentment?
"I also know that it's not good to be so passive..."
"But there is no way, Padme, you have been assassinated several times during your time in Coruscant. Last night was the most dangerous one. Things can't go on like this anymore. You have also seen the enemy's assassination methods emerging one after another, and it's hard to defend. So far, two powerful Jedi warriors have been seriously injured. We always have times of missing, and you will be in danger at that time!"
Finally, seeing that Padme no longer makes things difficult for the poor Ga Ga Binks, and seeing the other person looking at him, Anakin said with a smile and comforting him.
They have seen the terror and rampantness of those bounty hunters during this period! Those guys can do anything for money... Even if Padmé stays in the capital Coruscant and is protected by several Jedi warriors, they dare to take ruthless measures, so Anakin himself is not very relieved that Padmé will continue to stay here.
"Anyway, you will have to go back to Nab sooner or later, so now you are just going back a while in advance, so don't complain."
"Besides, the environment in Nabu is much better than that in Coruscant. It just so happens that you are always worried during this period. Going back to Nabu and repairing it for a while should be a good choice?"
Perhaps, only when the Trade Union and that separatist alliance are defeated, and when the Governor of the Trade Union who offered a large price to offer a reward of Padme was arrested or defeated and killed, no one would pay for the huge reward, Padme's life would gradually return to normal?
But it is not clear when that normal life will come. Even if the Republic immediately launches war against the remnants of the trade alliance and the separatist alliance, it will be a protracted process. It is not something Anakin can intervene, at least not what he can intervene now.
"All right!"
"I don't want to fight for something like that with you, but I still want to congratulate you, Anakin, you're finally becoming a formal Jedi now!"
"I heard from Obi-Wan that the elders think your ability is qualified so they let you finish your apprenticeship training and become a real Jedi?"
Padme, who no longer wanted to discuss those troublesome things, directly smiled and congratulated Anakin. The sweet smile from the bottom of his heart made Anakin stunned for a moment.
"Um!"
"Thank you! Padmé..."
Opening his mouth, Anakin, who had originally wanted to say something, thought that the other party was about to leave Corusan and return to Nab. He didn't know when he saw him next time, so he couldn't help but respond casually with some frustration, as if he had been infected with that negative emotion by Gaga Binx.
"You should tell me that kind of thing right away!"
"But I won't be the case! Now, I've almost packed up my things. After all, you know, we didn't bring anything when we came to Coruscant, didn't we?"
Perhaps she had a premonition that Anakin was reluctant to part with the two of them. In addition to pretending to be relaxed and forced to smile, Padme didn't know what to say at this time... In addition, there was a guy who hated Ga Gar Binks on the side. Even if she wanted to indulge her a little before leaving, give the other party a big hug or kiss, she became restrained.
"So……"
"Have they decided now? Who is escorting me back this time? Anakin, if it were you, I think maybe I might be more cooperative?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was still a little low, Padmie blinked playfully and joked at Anakin. Although, she felt it was unlikely? After all, that kind of thing was not something she or Anakin could decide. They were all the kind of people who could not help themselves, and some things could only go with the flow.
“…”
"I don't know, Padme, the matter of arranging your guards is decided by the Presbyterian Church, but if you wish, I think I can go and fight for it, although it may not necessarily result..."
Anakin himself was also a little nervous about this.
Although he is now a formal Jedi warrior due to some "war records", he is still just a Jedi warrior who cannot help but feel free. He still has no say in the Jedi Temple, but is still under the control of the temple and the elders. Some things are really not something he can change as he wants.
And this is one of the reasons why he is carrying out his secret plan and is eager to truly change and dominate his own destiny.
"Um……"
Padme responded with some disappointment and said nothing.
She herself knew that Anakin was telling the truth, and she herself was the same? Whether she was the queen of Nab, or the senator she is now, most of the things she encountered were not diverted by her will, and she often had to force herself to restrain herself.
‘No need to fight for it!’
‘It just so happened that the Presbyterian Council had just made the final decision!’
Just when Padme and Anakin were a little depressed about the escort issue, Yoda of the Jedi Temple, Master Mess Windu, and the Supreme Speaker of Palpatine whom he rarely saw, came together and visited this official residence in Padme?
"Anakin!"
"Now that the resolution of the parliament has ended, and after discussion, the Presbyterians decide whether you will be responsible for escorting Senator Amidala back to Nabstar, where she is obviously safer than in Coruscant?"
"remember!"
"Don't go back with any registered spaceship or transportation. You must use the method of smuggling directly. This matter is solely responsible and decided by you. Don't tell anyone the time, route and method of leaving, including us!"
"Then, after escorting Senator Amidala arrives at Nabo Star, you will be fully responsible for ensuring her safety on Nabo Star until the Elder will give you new tasks and instructions. Do you understand?"
Just now, he seemed to have heard the conversation between Padme and Anakin, so just came in and took advantage of the opportunity of Padme's greetings with the Supreme Speaker, Master Mays Windu directly reminded Anakin, who seemed a little surprised.
“!!”
"Ah? Yes! Master Wendu, don't worry, I will do my best to ensure the safety of Senator Amidala!"
In addition to ecstasy, Anakin responded loudly, and quietly turned his head, looking at Padmé, who was also somewhat surprised, tacitly.
You know, he was still worried about how he could find an opportunity to speak to the Presbyterian Church. Now that he could escort Padme back to Nab, and then he could make his great plan near Nab star that was still slowly implementing.
‘Senator Amidala…’
‘Although I know you are not very satisfied with that proposal, there is no way, the Republic cannot continue so chaotic, we always need to do something.’
‘But the Speaker!’
‘In the Milky Way, if you launch a civil war in our country, there will be no good results! You have also seen the Great Republic Army, organized by the Federation of Legends, that year, the Milky Way has been in chaos!’
‘I still stick to my point of view: we should deal with the separatist alliance in a peaceful way!’
'No……'
‘We have tried the way of peace negotiations, but you have also seen that they not only did not accept it, but they have also become more and more aggressive in urging and saying that more galaxies have joined them. Therefore, we can no longer sit still.’
‘!!’
'But Speaker, maybe it was because our method was wrong at that time, or could we put forward better conditions?'
'No!'
“Senator Amidala…”
‘Whether you accept it or not, when the separatist alliances and the remnants of the trade alliance are entangled, the war has begun now.’
'But……'
On the side, Padme seemed to have had some disputes with the Supreme Speaker of Palpatine who had risen to power a few years ago, so that the two even started a dispute over certain things?
Fortunately, it seems that Padme could not compete with the cunning Speaker, so after a while of argument, Speaker Palpatine simply turned his head and praised Anakin, who had finished talking to Yoda and Master Mays Windu:
"Congratulations, the young Jedi Anakin Skywalker...This will be your first job after the nominal official Jedi. Please remember to protect Senator Amidala's safety as before."
Taking a few steps forward, Speaker Palpatine reached out and patted Anakin on the shoulder.
"yes!"
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Speaker, I will definitely do it!"
"very good!"
"Anakin, you are the most promising Jedi I have ever met, and the facts have proved... But I believe that you will definitely become stronger and then invincible!"
"Thank you for your praise, Speaker!"
"Will you become the greatest Jedi, Anakin...even surpass the masters present?"
"Thanks!"
"I will work hard, Mr. Speaker!"
If it were the past, Anakin would have been flattered and could not find Bei's, but now... he just smiled and nodded lightly, and then just responded passively, not intending to say anything more.
"but……"
"Anakin, in the past year, you rarely go to chat with me again... Why, what did I do that makes you feel disgusted? If so, you might as well say it now. We have been friends since ten years ago, didn't we?"
"If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it directly, no need to estimate it."
Although there are many people here, Speaker Palpatine looked like he didn't mind at all and asked kindly in front of the two Jedi masters.
"No!"
"Dear Speaker, I just don't want to delay your time, really!"
When Anakin heard that the other party was asking about such a thing, he hurriedly explained.
Anyway, he wouldn't say: He has been busy managing the No. 0 Swarm Swarm in the past year and thinking about replacing the other party's highest speaker's position all day long, and even getting more, so he doesn't want to listen to the boring and slutty talks that the Speaker said?
After all, no matter how nice the other person speaks, can he give him what Anakin wants? Obviously, the other person cannot, and what he wants can only be fought for by his own strength! Since that is the case, Anakin naturally no longer has the desire to find the other person again, and this is exactly the reason why the other person just thought it was strange.
"Anakin, if it were you, I would be happy to take time to have a good talk with you..."
"However, given that you are about to escort Senator Amidala back to Nab, I will not invite you now. When you come back next time, you must remember to come to me, okay?"
After sighing with some regret, Supreme Speaker Palpatine ignored Anakin's colleague and gave him serious advice.
“…”
"certainly!"
There was no way, the other party said so, Anakin had to nod his head reluctantly and respond.
However, this time he escorted Padme back to Nab, probably not so easy to return to Coruscant, because he had already made a secret decision to make excuses to stay outside for a while and bring more larvae on the road?
Although he has now had the Zero, One and Two insect swarms and bases on the three planets of Coruscant, Tatooin and Nab, he feels that it is far from enough compared to the powerful Galaxy Republic and the Separatist Alliance. He still needs more insect swarms and bases!
Of course, there are more planets!!
"very good!"
“I’m looking forward to this…”
Seeing that the other party was no longer so resistant, Speaker Palpatine nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the two Jedi masters to see what else they need to explain?
