Could it be due to the sudden discovery of the conscience of the separatist allies, or could it be the result of the efforts of the peacemakers in the Galactic Council to mediate between them, or is it something else?

Anyway, when Anakin and Padmé were enjoying their private lives in Naboo's Lake District for more than a month, when they thought they could really stay in Naboo's Lake District forever and enjoy the peace and sweet good times that would not affect them, the arrival of a large high-speed ship belonging to the Jedi Council completely disrupted some of his and Padmé's impatient feelings and arrangements.

Because......

The Separatist League suddenly agreed to negotiate peace and friendship with the Galactic Republic, and also specified that one of the leaders of the peace faction, Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo, would personally lead the team?

The Jedi Council and the pacifist councillors felt that the opportunity was rare, so Obi-Wan led a team of elite Jedi knights to Nabu with the envoy group, and under Anakin's stunned and somewhat helpless gaze, he directly picked up Senator Padmé Amidala, who was ready to contribute his best efforts to the peace of the Galactic Republic, and went to a negotiation location designated by the Separatist Alliance.

As for Anakin, he was not allowed to go with him for various reasons, but was ordered by Obi-Wan to rush back to Coruscant as soon as possible to report to the elders of the Jedi Council?

It's just that I don't know why, when Obi-Wan and the others left for two days, Anakin still stayed on Naboo with dignity, and didn't have the slightest idea of leaving?

Obi-Wan, who had detected some of Anakin's unusual behavior on the ship, approached Padme with some chagrin and planned to talk openly with him about something he had been reluctant to talk about.

"Padme ......"

"Anakin seems to have disobeyed, he remained on Naboo, and did not return to Coruscant...... I want to know, what happened during your time in Naboo? ”

After entering Padmé's luxurious spaceship suite, Obi-Wan sat down in front of Padmé in annoyance and went straight to the point with some impatience.

"Strange ......"

"Obi-Wan, nothing happened to me and Anakin, why do you ask? Maybe he's delayed by something, maybe he's arranged, you should choose to trust him, after all, he respects you very much, and you should trust each other, not like this? ”

Padmé leaned forward suddenly, and while slightly hiding her uneasiness, she stubbornly stared at the visiting Jedi to see what was in the other's calm, self-controlled, indifferent eyes.

She wasn't afraid at all anyway, because it was true that she and Anakin hadn't had time to make that final practical progress, but not necessarily later.

"Trust him?"

Obi-Wan repeated it incredulously.

"Padmé, you know what? Anakin's problem, to be honest, happened precisely when we believed in him too much! And, of course, you! ”

"Padmae, we thought your identity and experience could be more mature and stable, but you ...... it"

As he spoke, Obi-Wan suddenly couldn't speak.

"Obi-Wan ......"

"What is it that makes you distrust Anakin? Is it because the upcoming Geonosis negotiations have made you nervous? ”

"So you're blaming Anakin?"

Padmé, who frowned slightly, seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong, and she felt that maybe her affair with Anakin was really noticed by these Jedi knights, so she couldn't stop her heart from beating faster than she could.

"Padme, the negotiations with Geonosis didn't make me nervous, although there have been some things that have happened there in the past that have been very unpleasant for us Jedi......"

As he spoke, Obi-Wan stood up a little annoyed, and the soldier turned his back to look out the window.

“……”

Padmé didn't rush to ask, nor did she show any nervousness, she was waiting for the other party to have a showdown with her, although she would definitely deny it?

To be honest, this was the first time she felt that the Obi-Wan in front of her would be such an eyesore, and she very much hoped that the other party would leave her room sooner, and began to fantasize about how good it would be if Anakin went with her to the planet Geonosis.

It's a pity that at that time, she didn't insist too much because she was excited about the change of the separatist alliance, and directly agreed to let Obi-Wan and them escort her, leaving Anakin on Naboo...... Presumably, Anakin is reluctant to leave Nabu now, so he must want to wait for him to go back, right?

That fool, why didn't he want to think about it, whether this mission was successful or not, she was going to return to Coruscant to report on her work, and wouldn't it be better for the other party to go back to Coruscant to wait for her? But unfortunately, now that they are on the way, and they are still sailing faster than light, and the communication may be monitored by the Obi-Wan in front of her, so she thought about it and had to give up the plan to contact the other party.

"Padme...... What happened between you and Anakin, the Jedi Council already knew. ”

"Trust me, stop it in time!"

"You have no chance of transcending friendship, Senator, as you yourself should know, from the moment Anakin chose to become a Jedi Padawan, he had made a firm promise to the Jedi Order that he was destined to be with us for the rest of his life, and that would be foolish for you to now be delusional about another impossible and permissible outcome!"

Obi-Wan slowly turned back and looked at Padmae, whose face had turned pale, and her eyes, which had been clear, began to dim a little because of some difficult mood.

“！！”

"I'm sorry, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, I don't know what you're talking about!"

After the initial hesitation, Padmé soon felt a flame of anger and unyielding fire in her blood, like the fierce, almost dry desert wind that she and Anakin had encountered when they were racing through the desert of Tatooine more than two months earlier.

"Don't take us all for fools, Padme!"

"You know what I mean, we know he's emotionally charged with you, and the Force told me when Nabu came into contact with him that it was a very strong emotion that clouded his judgment and emboldened him to openly disobey the orders of the Samurai!"

"And you, do you want to pretend that you don't have the same feelings for a Jedi in front of him?!"

Obi-Wan questioned sharply, and just watched as Padmael's face grew gloomy.

"I'm sorry!"

'Master Kenobi, my feelings are my private matter, and you have no right to intervene! ’

Padmé's tone gradually became cold, and if it weren't for the fact that they were on the spaceship now, and it was Nabu or when she was still the queen, she would have been blasted out by the other party a long time ago if this Obi-Wan Kenobi in front of her dared to interfere with her emotions!

You know, even if she is no longer the queen, she is still Naboo's senator, a pivotal presence in the parliament of the Galactic Republic, how can he Obi-Wan Kenobi teach her? He's just a little Jedi, not a Jedi Elder yet! Besides, even the elders of the Jedi Council wouldn't talk to her like that!

"On the contrary, Senator Amidala, when a Jedi is involved, it's not a private matter!"

Obi-Wan gasped, glared at the other party and argued with reason, without giving Padme any room to back down, because in his opinion, in the eyes of the Jedi Council, this matter was indeed very serious, not as simple as the personal matter that Padme thought he thought!

"Ha ......"

"Obi-Wan, you're here for me today, just to tell me that I have to keep my distance from Anakin?"

Finally Padme softened, a look of desolation began to appear on his angry face, and he asked softly.

She had already had a premonition about this before, but she still couldn't control herself...... Because human feelings are a wonderful thing, they are not easily controlled by reason, and she is not the kind of person who is very rational and self-controlled.

"I also know it's not good to tell you this kind of thing before the negotiations start, but ......"

"I received the order, it was the intention of the elders, they have been following you and Anakin for a long time, do you think you have been doing it very secretively?"

"Huh!"

After a self-deprecating laugh and a moment of silence, Obi-Wan's tone softened, and he sat down on the couch opposite Padmé and replied.

"Although a little impersonal......."

"But because I want to protect him, I want to protect you! Although I don't expect you to believe it, but Padme ......"

"It's true!"

"You have to understand that continuing on this path will only break your hearts in the end...... If you truly love Anakin, you have to let go! He can't have both loving you and being a Jedi, and in the prophecy, he was born to be a Jedi, and he is destined to have a great destiny beyond you and me! ”

"And what is even more terrifying now is that he is on the verge of being very dangerous, and his feelings are making the darkness in his heart sprout and grow, and the elders feel that it is the force of the dark side! You may not realize the seriousness of the problem yet, but I can tell you clearly that if you continue like this, Anakin, who does not have a strong heart and faith, is likely to embrace the dark side and become a terrible dark Jedi, is that what you want? ”

With that, Obi-Wan stood up again and stepped aside a little irritably.

There is another reason that Obi-Wan did not say, and that is that, in principle, all Jedi are not allowed to marry and have children, and that is to prevent the abuse of the Force and form a powerful Jedi family. And now, Anakin is a powerful Jedi, and Padmé is a senator, a high-ranking member of the Galactic Republic and Naboo, once the two are combined, they are bound to give birth to offspring with a high amount of fibroplasma inheritance, then, the formation of a powerful Jedi family is certain!

And that kind of terrible and subversive Jedi tradition, where would the elders of the Jedi Council watch it happen?

"It's ridiculous!"

"Obi-Wan, would you rather let him endure a lifetime of loneliness for the sake of a prophecy? And that prophecy, I'm afraid even the elders of your council wouldn't dare to assert that it's true, right? ”

"This is how you treat a Jedi who has made a difference?"

Padmé blinked desperately, forcibly holding back the tears that almost burst out of her eyes.

"That's to protect him!"

"Padmé, if you think we don't know what we're asking for, you're very wrong. I know full well that the Jedi Way is the way of loneliness, and it requires us to make the deepest sacrifices! Our needs come last, and the needs of strangers come first. But how much torture would the Jedi endure if they left their responsibilities alone? Is that what you want? Do you think Anakin will want it? ”

"He can't want to stay in the Jedi Order and still love the people he loves, the elders won't allow it, and the Jedi traditions won't allow it, so he can only be forced to choose one of them!"

"I know I don't have the right to order or ask you anything, I'm asking you to ...... right now"

"When this negotiation is over, you will leave Coruscant and return to Naboo, and do not go to see Anakin again...... We, Elder Ho, will try to give him some heavy tasks away from you and Naboo, so that he will not have time to take care of you, and will also give you enough and necessary time to heal your wounds...... Trust me, giving up on each other is your best bet before it's too late!? ”

Obi-Wan knew that the other party might be sad, and he also knew that it was not good for him to have a showdown before the negotiations began, but he had no choice, the matter between Anakin and Padmé really couldn't continue, he wouldn't let Anakin sink, and the elders wouldn't let the traditions of the Jedi Order be easily broken!

The Jedi Order is subordinate to the Ministry of Justice of the Galactic Republic, responsible for peacekeeping, does not participate in political decision-making, and is not subject to the control of the Ministry of Justice, and has a lot of power, and once the tradition is broken, once that kind of Jedi family is created or formed, it will be a disaster for the Galactic Republic!

“…….”

"Obi-Wan, you go out, I want to be quiet......."

Padmé sighed softly, holding back the tears that almost burst out of her eyes, not letting her vulnerable side show her in front of Obi-Wan, and finally did not continue to refute the other party's ridiculous and selfish remarks, but only motioned for the other party to leave her room and out of her sight.

"Alas~!"

Obi-Wan had no choice but to sigh, bow his head and salute, and then turn and walk out of the luxurious cabin suite of this senator and negotiator of the Galactic Republic.

“！！”

"Huh? What's the situation?! ”

However, Obi-Wan, who had just walked out of the cabin, suddenly felt a shaking of the ship's hull, and he didn't know what was going on, so he immediately contacted the bridge of the envoy spaceship through a communicator in the corridor of the spaceship, wanting to ask what was going on.

'Report! ’

'We've just jumped out of the chrono teleportation and are now on Geonosis, maybe because of the presence of a large number of trade union ships ahead of us, which caused the gravitational turmoil? ’

The Galactic Republic pilot on the bridge reported with some uncertainty, but after seeing that the ship was quickly balanced and stable, he didn't do much to check.

“……”

"Lean on, we're here to negotiate this time, don't worry about them!"

Through the porthole, Obi-Wan of course also saw those massive Trade Alliance ships in the distance, and even he didn't expect that those guys would build so many giant ships! Of course, it is also possible that the other party is a remnant?

After all, the original Trade Alliance is a consortium of commerce and transportation, it effectively controls the freight and trade of the entire galaxy, and its strength is extremely powerful, even if it has been suppressed for so many years, but the family background is still strong, so he shouldn't feel too surprised to have so many spaceships.

'Yes! ’

'Approaching ......'

‘！！ ’

'Master Obi-Wan! Oh no, we were captured by their gravitational wave beams, and the ship couldn't control it!! ’

“！！”

"Damn! This is not diplomatic etiquette......"

Hearing the exclamation of the captain on the bridge, Obi-Wan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression quickly became a little hideous, and he immediately turned back to Padmé's cabin.

“？？”

Seeing that Obi-Wan suddenly broke in again, and his face was still so ugly, Padmé hurriedly wiped the wet marks on his face while looking at the other party strangely.

"Padmay!"

"Get ready, I'm afraid something will happen this time, it's likely to be a conspiracy!!"

With that, Obi-Wan directly took out the hilt of his lightsaber and held it firmly in his own hand.

“！！”

"How can this be ......"

Padmé slammed into his seat almost at the same time, and looked incredulous.
