Chapter 1230: Safe Arrival in Coruscant (..) nnn••*
To be honest, Padmé still feels a little confused, completely unaware of how she and Anakin survived that night......
Or so to speak, she had no idea how her Jedi Anakin, could single-handedly wipe out the bounty hunters who were chasing her.
Anyway, all she knew was that she waited anxiously in the dark house for about an hour or so, until someone moved away from the boulder blocking the doorway, until she rushed towards the other party with an iron rod of the sandman in a panic, and then was easily disarmed and held in her arms, that she knew that her Anakin had inexplicably won, and had defeated all the bounty hunters, and successfully saved her Padmé Amidala?
Then, what the other party did next made her feel a little ashamed when she thought about it now!
Because, the other party actually stripped her naked without saying a word, and when she resisted and scolded the other party angrily, and thought that the other party would do something inappropriate to her, that nasty bad guy actually threw her a new hood and overcoat that she didn't know where to go, and she didn't want to do the kind of thing she imagined at all?!
At last......
Maybe it's shame, maybe it's anger, or maybe she's too sleepy and tired, in short, nothing happens between her and him!
Immediately after she got dressed, he pulled her out of the swarthy little village full of corpses all the way, and then found a ship captured from the bounty hunter and flew to Moss Eisley, and after Moss Eisley sold the ship and replaced it with a smaller, fast spaceship, he restarted the journey, and finally arrived in Coruscant today, and began to slowly begin to dock under the guidance of the port guide sent by the port guide.
Along the way, Padmé thoughtfully didn't ask how the other party won, because she also knew that she had eliminated so many bounty hunters and killed so many people...... That kind of thing, for Jedi Apprentice Anakin, would certainly not be something to celebrate.
“……”
"Anakin, you say, now that I'm in Da Colusanne, will I ever see you again?"
Looking at the busy planet Coruscant in the distance with a silver metallic sheen in the sun, thinking about the turmoil along the way, thinking about the pleasant relationship between the two along the way, the experience of birth and death, and then the embarrassment and the short few days since Tatooine returned to Coruscant and the difference that was about to come, somehow, Padmé was faintly reluctant.
She really wanted to pounce into the other party's arms and take advantage of the last time to warm up, but, thinking of her identity and the identity of the other party, and thinking about the fact that she was about to dock at the port now, she was worried that she would be seen by someone with a heart, so she still endured it a little reservedly, silently turned her head, and sighed lightly at the thousands of spaceships that were busy coming and going outside the cockpit.
“……”
"I don't know ...... either"
After handing over the ship to the automated program to host and enforce the port entry agreement, Anakin finally couldn't help but turn his head away, looking at Padmé's delicate side face and slightly stunned.
Although he himself is very reluctant, some things are not transferred by their will after all.
Although the other party is no longer the queen of Naboo, he is still a senator of the Galactic Council, and Anakin himself is just a small Jedi apprentice, his identity and status are too disparity, plus some of the dogmas and codes of the Jedi, he can't give Padmé too many guarantees......
Moreover, Padme's identity will also make her subconsciously alienate him, plus the other party is still being rewarded by the remnants of the trade alliance and is always in danger, so he must also do more other things in order to completely stifle those dangers as soon as possible one day in the future, and it is impossible to be by the other party's side at all times.
"But!"
"I'll be sure to find time to see you! Padmé, I promise you!! ”
However, after seeing the faint reluctance on the other party's face, he still gritted his teeth and assured the other party.
"Hmmm......"
"If I have time, I'll also find an opportunity to visit the Jedi Temple to see your ......"
With the final departure and soon to arrive at the port and dock at Coruscant, Padmé did not know what to say.
However, subconsciously, she felt that if she didn't resist so much that night in Shamin Village, and directly asked the other party to do something to her or she took the initiative to do something, then the relationship between her and him would not be so embarrassing now, right?
“……”
“……”
Not long after, while the two of them looked at each other silently and brewed some emotions, the spaceship finally landed smoothly on a platform heavily guarded by the guards of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Knights, and opened the hatch, so that the two had to clean up their inexplicable feelings and walk down the stairs of the spaceship next to each other.
"It's been a hard journey!"
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Excellency Senator Padmé Amidala, to hear that you have stepped down from Naboo's position as queen? I am very sorry for this, because we all know that you have been doing a good job......"
"But it's great news that you're here as Naboo's representative and as a senator!"
As soon as the two of them arrived, Obi-Wan, who had been waiting for a long time with several Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters below, nodded to Anakin and then greeted Padmé Amidala and saluted and greeted him in a friendly manner.
After all, for Obi-Wan, Padme's current identity section is not just a senator in Parliament, she is also his old friend and important person entrusted with protection, and he must be a little more careful.
"I'm glad to see you again, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi!"
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for nearly ten years, and you seem to have changed a lot, and you are no longer the apprentice you used to be......
Padmé was obviously very happy to see an old friend, so she showed a rare smile and teased him.
"Ahh
"Senator, you're misleading, I'm not a Jedi Master yet, I'm just a Jedi."
"Nope! Obi-Wan ......"
"It's not an exaggeration to call you a 'master' for teaching Anakin so well, and in my opinion, you're not inferior to the other masters."
"Senator, you're welcome......"
"Please go this way, we have arranged a safe place for you to live and the soldiers in charge of the guard, as well as a few Jedi and Masters on duty, and we will definitely make sure that you are safe these days in Coruscant!"
After a few years, Obi-Wan felt that the former queen in front of him, this Padmé Amidala, seemed to have become more talkative than before, which made him feel very useful? However, now was not the time to say those kind words, so, after a few short conversations and reminiscences, he introduced them to the guards and Jedi Masters who were in charge of security.
That's a specially selected team of the Jedi Council, and it will definitely guarantee 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 here, isn't this Coruscant?"
"Could it be that someone else dares to assassinate me here?!"
On the way here, there were more than a dozen teams of bounty hunters staring at her, of course Padmé knew that kind of thing, but now this is Coruscant, the capital planet of the Galactic Republic, she can't believe it, here, those bounty hunters still dare to mess around?
"Your Excellency Senator......"
"As long as there is enough money, there is nothing that people like them dare not! In fact..... your double was attacked the day your starship royal arrived in Coruscant, but luckily they didn't succeed, otherwise ......"
Otherwise, Obi-Wan wouldn't have dared to say any more, anyway, those daring fellows did do the crazy thing of openly attacking a senator in the port, so it was up to him to be cautious now.
"That's ......"
"I see, thank you for the arrangement."
Nodding and glancing at Anakin, Padmé said no more, silently walking over to the Jedi Masters and Jedi Knights on the other side, and began to whisper to them and introduce each other.
"Whew!"
"It's been a full day later than expected, how was it, Anakin, the journey was going well, right?"
Obi-Wan was still very pleased that Anakin was able to escort Senator Padmé to Coruscant safely, so while waiting for the Jedi Masters to say something to Padmé, he approached his little junior brother and asked with concern.
"Smooth?!"
"Huh!"
"Obi-Wan, you don't know, we were almost killed by your so-called absolutely safe line! We made it back alive, it was a fluke! ”
Of course, in addition to luck, it is also due to some special arrangements of his Anakin, otherwise, in that case, I am afraid that it would be enough to change to Master Yoda!
Anyway, he definitely wouldn't believe that with Master Yoda's strength, he could deal with that kind of hunting gang composed of many powerful and elite bounty hunters, let alone protect Padmé!
"Forget it!"
"Still don't say it, it's all over!"
Anakin didn't want to mention it again, at least not here.
Because, after returning to the Jedi Temple, he must go and explain the situation to the elders, and before that, he has to think carefully about what to say so that he will not show his stuff? At the very least, he had to figure out what he had to do to make his words and Padme's account corroborate each other, and make sure that nothing was wrong with him.
"Then don't be in a hurry to say, we will have time in the future!"
"Come on, follow me to the Jedi Council to meet the Elders, as for Padmé, her safety is naturally in the hands of those Jedi Masters now, and there will definitely be no problem."
Padme's accommodation, food, clothing, housing and transportation on Coruscant have strict arrangements for their Jedi committee, and even sent several female Jedi to serve as the other party's personal bodyguards, that kind of treatment can even be enjoyed by the Supreme Speaker of Palpatine, so there shouldn't be a big problem in terms of security?
At least, it's still very secure on the planet Coruscant!
"Going to see the elders now?"
"But why?"
Anakin was a little puzzled, for it was customary for the elders to summon him after a few days to inquire about the status of the mission, but it was very rare for him to be summoned back for a lecture just after arriving in Coruscant.
"What else?"
"Anakin, don't you understand what those things you did yourself mean?!"
Obi-Wan, who was a little crying and laughing, didn't explain, but sighed and shook his head, staring directly into Anakin's eyes and asking rhetorically.
“!!”
"What did I do?"
Coldly, Anakin's heart began to feel apprehensive, and his eyes gradually became a little flickering, and he didn't dare to look at Obi-Wan and secretly made some relevant preparations.
"Alas......"
"You've killed so many bounty hunters, more than two hundred...... Now, the whole galaxy is going to spread about it, and they call you the Jedi Butcher, the Bounty Buster, and the Evil Executioner...... Anyway, there are a lot of titles, so you think the elders won't come to you right away to talk to you properly? ”
Seeing that the other party dared to speak hard, Obi-Wan, who thought that Coruscant, the Jedi Temple, and himself, who were in the political, economic, cultural, and military center of the galaxy, would not know about it, asked with a little tears and laughter.
"Ahh
"But...... Obi-Wan, I can't help it! ”
"The situation, you know, just me and Padmé, I need to protect her, and we are isolated, I have to do my best, if I don't kill them, it will be me and Padmé who are dead now!"
"I don't have a choice!!"
It turned out that this was the case, which made Anakin secretly relieved in his heart, and at the same time, he also pretended to argue for it.
He almost thought it was because he and his swarm had been exposed, and if that was the case, he would have had to start his plan ahead of time and escape Coruscant...... But fortunately, it was just that I was scared by the hateful Obi-Wan in front of me.
"That's it!"
"Anakin, you did a good job, I wouldn't have done a better job than you, and I don't think you did anything wrong, although it was a little more ...... to kill people."
"But that's not how the elders see it! They don't care about the damn bounty hunters, they care about you! Because Master Yoda would think that you used the forbidden power of the other side of the Force, that is dangerous, you know? ”
Obi-Wan, who stared at Anakin and didn't feel that there was much wrong with the other party, finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted the other party's shoulder.
“!!”
"But I didn't!"
Yes, Anakin really didn't use the forbidden power of the other side of the Force, he didn't even do it from beginning to end, it was all done by the 'kids' of his No. 1 swarm, he was just watching the whole time, and he didn't kill any bounty hunters at all!
He killed it with his own hands...... It was only the sand people who deserved it, but he told no one, including Padmé! Therefore, he was convinced that the elders of the Jedi Council would definitely not know about it.
"It's useless to tell me!"
"Let's go, the elders have been waiting for you in the tower for a long time, and our irresponsible teacher is also here, he should be able to excuse you, you just need to answer the elders' questions!"
"But Anakin, you have to remember!"
"Don't talk too much when the elders speak, and don't try to justify...... You just have to watch more, think more with your brain, talk less, and pretend to be humble and ask for advice, do you understand? ”
Obi-Wan looked like a passer-by, and whispered to his little junior brother Anakin, almost not explicitly teaching the other party how to fool the elders of the Jedi Council.
"Yes......"
If it was just the bounty hunter's affairs, Anakin felt that he could handle it, and it was nothing more than a lie about how he could kill all sides! However, that lie must be a mixed bag, otherwise it will not be easy to fool the elders.
Especially that Elder Yoda, every time the other party looked at him, it was as if he could expose his disguise, if it weren't for the hive of his Anakin Zero Swarm that had done some necessary adjustments and reinforcements to him, I am afraid he would not have been able to stop the other party from prying into his heart.
"Anakin ......"
Padmé, who had just heard some of Obi-Wan's words, walked over at this time, obviously, she was a little worried about Anakin, after all, the other party did it for her sake, and if the other party was so tired that the elders of the Jedi Council were embarrassed, she would definitely not go, and she would have a troubled conscience.
"I'm fine!"
"Don't worry, Padme, I'll go back with Obi-Wan first, I'll visit you again when I have a chance, goodbye......"
Obi-Wan was in a hurry, and Anakin didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that others would see that something was wrong between him and Padmé, so, after nodding, he hurriedly got into an open-top hovercar with Obi-Wan.
There were some things that were bad for Padmé as a councillor and for himself as a Jedi, especially before they could control each other's fate?
Therefore, Anakin, who didn't dare to show more, felt that it would be better for him to avoid it a little.
"Then it's decided!"
"I'll call Elder Yoda too, and I'll have a few words of defense for you!!"
Watching Anakin's hovercar roar away first, Padmé couldn't do much other than wave at the other side.
Now that she's safely on the planet of Coruscant, it's time for her to let go of some of the more important things she's supposed to take care of when she's been brought here from Naboo.
You know, Padmé Amidala is a senator and Naboo's representative appointed by Naboo's new queen, so she must be responsible for Naboo's people, for the Galactic Republic, and be committed to doing the best she can to restore peace to the galaxy!
