It may be because of the sudden discovery of the separatist alliance, or it may be the result of the efforts of the peacemakers in the Galaxy Parliament to mediate, or some other reason?
Anyway, when Anakin and Padme were shy and enjoyed more than a month of private life in Nab's lake area, and when they were fond of each other and thought they could really stay in Nab's lake area forever and enjoy the peace and sweet and wonderful time that would not affect them, the arrival of a large high-speed spacecraft affiliated to the Jedi Committee completely disrupted some of his and Padme's desire to feel and arrange.
because……
The Separatist League suddenly agreed to hold a peaceful and friendly negotiation with the Galactic Republic, and also pointed out that it would lead the team to lead to the team as one of the leaders of the peace faction, namely Nab's Senator Padme Amidala?
The Jedi Committee and the members of the Peace Party felt that the opportunity was rare, so Obi-Wan led a team of elite Jedi to Nab with an envoy. Under Anakin's astonishment and helpless grievance, he directly took away Senator Padme 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 follow 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 Committee?
However, I don’t know why, after Obi-Wan and others left for two days, Anakin was still staying on Naboo Star and had no idea of ​​leaving at all?
So, Obi-Wan, who monitored some abnormal behavior of Anakin on the spacecraft, found Padmé with some annoyance and planned to talk to Padmé openly about something he had never wanted to mention.
"Padmé..."
"Anakin seems to be disobedient. He is still on Nabo Star and has not returned to Coruscant...I want to know, what happened to you during your time in Nabo?"
After entering Padmé's luxurious spacecraft suite, Obi-Wan sat in front of Padmé in annoyance and entered the topic impatiently and pointed out the topic.
"strangeness……"
"Obi-Wan, nothing happened to Anakin and me, why did you ask this? Maybe he was delayed, maybe he had something to do, you should choose to trust him, after all, he respects you very much, you should trust each other, not like now?"
Padme suddenly leaned forward, and while slightly concealing her a little uneasiness, he looked at the Jedi who suddenly visited, wanting to see what the other party knew in his calm and self-controlled and indifferent eyes.
Anyway, she was not afraid at all, because she and Anakin did not have time to make such final and practical progress, but it may not be the case in the future.
"Believe him?"
Obi-Wan repeated incredibly.
"Padmey, do you know? Anakin's problem, to be honest, happened just because we trusted him too much! Of course, there is you!"
"Padmé, we thought your identity and experience could be more mature and stable, but you actually..."
As he was talking, Obi-Wan suddenly felt a little unable to continue.
“Obi-Wan…”
"What the hell is it that makes you distrust Anakin? Is it because the upcoming Geonosis Star negotiations make you nervous?"
"So you blame Anakin for the matter?"
Padme, who was slightly frowning, seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong. She felt that perhaps the matter between her and Anakin was really noticed by these Jedi warriors, so she was trying to pretend to be calm, but she couldn't stop the heart that began to accelerate and thump.
"Padmey, the negotiations of Gionos did not make me nervous, although there did happen there before that something that made our Jedi very unpleasant..."
As he spoke, Obi-Wan stood up in a bit annoyed manner. The soldier turned his back and looked out the window.
“…”
Padme did not rush to ask, nor did she show any tension. She was waiting for the other party to show up with her, although she would definitely deny it?
To be honest, this was the first time she felt that Obi-Wan in front of her would be so annoying, and she really hoped that the other party would leave her room sooner, and began to fantasize about how good it would be if Anakin had to go to the planet Geonosis with her?
Unfortunately, she was excited about the change of the separatist alliance and did not insist too much, so she directly agreed to the plan to let Obi-Wan and the others escort her, and left Anakin on Nabo Star... I guess, Anakin is unwilling to leave Nabo now, so she must have wanted to wait for herself to go back, right?
Why didn't he think about that fool? She would go back to Corusan to report her job regardless of whether she was successful or not. Isn't it better for the other party to go back to Corusan to wait for her? But it's a pity that they are on the road now and are still sailing at super-light speed, and the communication may be monitored by Obi-Wan in front of her, so she thought about it and had to give up her plan to contact the other party.
"Padmé...the Jedi Council already knows what happened between you and Anakin."
"Please believe me and stop in time!"
"You have no possibility of transcending friendship. Your Excellency Senator, you should know that since Anakin chose to be a Jedi apprentice, he has made a firm commitment to the Jedi Order by default: He is destined to be with us all his life, and you are now despising another result that cannot happen and is allowed, which is very stupid!"
Obi-Wan slowly turned around, looking at Padme, whose face turned pale, as her originally clear eyes began to become a little dull because of some difficult mood.
“!!”
"Sorry, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, I don't know what you are talking about!"
After the initial hesitation, soon Padmé felt anger and unyielding flames ignited in her blood, just like the cruel wind she and Anakin encountered more than two months ago when they were rushing in the desert of Tatooin, almost drying people.
"Don't treat us all as fools, Padmé!"
"You should understand what I mean. We know he was moved by you. When Nab came into contact with him, the Force also told me that it was a very strong feeling. It blinded his judgment and made him dare to openly violate the orders of the Samurai Order!"
"And you, do you want to pretend that you don't have the same feelings for a Jedi in front of him?!"
Obi-Wan asked sternly, and just watched Padme's face gradually become gloomy.
"Feel sorry!"
‘Master Kenobi, my feelings are my private affairs, and you have no right to ask about it!’
Padme's tone gradually became cold. If they weren't on the spaceship now, if they were in Naboo or when she was still a queen, just because Obi-Wan Kenobi in front of her dared to interfere with her emotions, she would have been bombarded by the other party long ago!
You know, even though she no longer becomes the queen, she is still a senator of Nab, an important existence in the Parliament of the Galaxy Republic. Why should Obi-Wan Kenobi teach her a lesson? He is just a little Jedi warrior, not a Jedi elder! Besides, even the elders of the Jedi Committee will not talk to her like this!
"On the contrary, when Senator Amidala involves a Jedi matter, it is not a private matter!"
Obi-Wan gasped, glared at the other party and argued, giving Padmé no room for retreat, because in his opinion, this matter was indeed very serious in the eyes of the Jedi Committee, and it was not as simple as the personal affairs that Padmé thought!
"ha……"
"Obi-Wan, you came to me today for this purpose, just to tell me, to keep my distance from Anakin?"
Finally, Padme softened, and a trace of desolate expression began to appear on his angry face and asked softly.
She had a premonition of this matter before, but she still couldn't control herself... because human feelings are a very 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 that it's not good to tell you about this kind of thing before the negotiation begins, but..."
"I received the order, which was what the elders meant. They have been following you and Anakin for a long time. Do you think you have been doing it secretly?"
"Oh!"
After laughing like a self-deprecatingly and silent for a moment, Obi-Wan's tone gradually softened, and he sat down on the sofa opposite Padmé and answered in dejectedly.
"Although it's a bit unkind..."
"But precisely because I want to protect him, I want to protect you too! Although I don't expect you to believe it, Padmé..."
"This is true!"
"You must understand that continuing to walk this path will only break the heart of both of you... If you truly love Anakin, you must let go! Love you and become a Jedi, he cannot have both, and in the prophecy, he should be a Jedi, and he is destined to have a great destiny beyond your imagination!"
"What's even more terrifying now is that he is on a very dangerous brink. The feelings are making the darkness in his heart sprout and grow. The elders feel that it is the force of the dark side! You may not realize the seriousness of the problem, but I can clearly tell you that if you continue like this, without a firm heart and faith, Anakin will likely embrace the dark side and become a terrible dark Jedi. Is that what you want?"
After saying that, Obi-Wan stood up again and walked aside with some irritation.
There is another reason Obi-Wan didn't say, that is: in principle, all Jedi warriors cannot get married and have children, which is for the sake of preventing the abuse of the Force and forming a powerful Jedi family. Now, Anakin is a powerful Jedi warrior, and Padme is a senator, a senior executive of the Galaxy Republic and Nab. Once the two of them combine, descendants with a high fibroma inheritance will inevitably be born. Then, forming a powerful Jedi family is bound to be formed!
And how could the elders of the Jedi Council watch it happen?
"It's ridiculous!"
"Obi-Wan, would you rather let him endure his life's loneliness for a prophecy? And that prophecy, even the elders of your committee, dare not assert that it is true, right?"
"Is this how you treat a Jedi who has a good job?"
Padme blinked desperately, forcibly holding back the tears that were about to burst out from her eyes.
"That's to protect him!"
"Padmey, if you think we don't know what we are asking for, then you're very wrong. I know completely that the Jedi Way is the Way of loneliness, which requires us to make the deepest sacrifices! Our needs are at the last point, and the needs of strangers are at the first. But if the Jedi abandons his responsibilities, how much torture will they endure? Is that what you want? Do you think Anakin will want it?"
"He could not have wanted to stay in the Jedi Order and love the people he loved. The elders would not allow it, nor did the Jedi tradition allow it. He could only be forced to choose one of them!"
"I know I'm not qualified to order or ask you what to do. I'm asking you now..."
"When the Geonoss Star negotiations are over, you leave Coruscant and return to Naboo Star and don't see Anakin again... Our elders He will try to arrange some heavy tasks for him to stay away from you and Nabo, so that he has no time to take care of you, and also give you enough and necessary time to heal the pain... Please believe me, giving up on each other is your best choice, and it's not too late to be too late!?"
Obi-Wan knew that the other party might be very sad, and knew that it was a bit bad for him to showdown before the negotiations began. However, he had no choice. The matter between Anakin and Padme really couldn't continue. He would not let Anakin sink, and the elders would not let the Jedi tradition be easily broken!
The Jedi Order belongs to the Ministry of Justice of the Galactic Republic. It is responsible for peacekeeping, does not participate in political decision-making, and does not act under the control of the Ministry of Justice. It has great power. Once the tradition is broken, once that Jedi family is produced or formed, it will be a disaster for the Galactic Republic!
“….”
"Obi-Wan, you go out, I want to be quiet..."
Padme sighed lightly, holding back the tears that were about to burst out from his eyes, and preventing his fragile side from appearing in front of Obi-Wan, she finally did not continue to refute the other party's ridiculous and selfish remarks, but just signaled the other party to leave her room and leave her sight.
"Oh~!"
There was no choice but to sigh, bow his head and salute, then turn around and walk out of the luxurious cabin suite of the Senator and negotiator of the Galaxy Republic.
“!!”
"Well? What's going on?"
However, Obi-Wan, who had just walked out of the cabin, suddenly felt the hull shaking. He didn't know what was going on, so he immediately contacted the bridge of the envoy spacecraft through a communicator in the corridor inside the spacecraft, wanting to ask what was going on.
'Report!'
‘We just jumped out of the ultra-time teleportation and have now arrived at the Gionos Star. Maybe it was because there were a large number of TradeUO spacecraft in front, which caused the bumps caused by gravity?’
The Galaxy Republic pilot on the bridge reported it with some uncertainty, but after seeing that the spacecraft had quickly maintained balance and stability, he did not do any more inspections.
“…”
"Double up, we are here to negotiate this time, don't worry about them!"
Through the porthole, Obi-Wan also saw the massive trade alliance spacecraft in the distance. Even he didn't expect that those guys had built so many giant ships! Of course, it might be the remaining ones of the other?
After all, the former Trade Alliance was a consortium of commerce and transportation. It effectively controlled the freight and trade of the entire Milky Way. Its strength was extremely powerful. Even after being suppressed for so many years, its family background was still strong, so he shouldn't feel that it was too strange to have so many spacecraft.
'yes!'
‘Getting closer…’
‘!!’
‘Master Obi-Wan! No, we were captured by their gravitational wave beams and the spacecraft was out of control!!’
“!!”
"Damn it! This is not diplomatic etiquette..."
Hearing the exclamation from the captain on the bridge, Obi-Wan was stunned at first, then soon his expression became a little ferocious, and he immediately returned to Padme's cabin.
“??”
Seeing Obi-Wan suddenly broke in again and his face was so ugly, Padme hurriedly wiped the wet marks on his face while looking at the other party strangely.
"Padmé!"
"Be prepared, something might happen this time, it's probably a conspiracy!!"
After saying that, Obi-Wan took out his lightsaber hilt and held it firmly in his own hand.
“!!”
"how so……"
Padme also stood up from his seat almost at the same time, with an incredible look on his face.
