499. Dry wood and fierce fire
The voice calling her was very low, so no one else noticed it, but it still startled Padmé-Amidala. She turned around suddenly, only to see a woman with short hair calling her.
"Mina-Bontri? How did you..." Padmé immediately recognized this person.
Mina-Bontri, MP Onderon, she once lived and taught in Naboo for a period of time. Padmé-Naberrie, who was studying law at that time, was her student, and they also established a good relationship.
But later, because Onderon and Separatist Movement got closer and closer, in order to avoid suspicion, the two of them also cut off contact. Now, Padmé really didn't expect to meet Mina-Bontri here.
And now seeing her on this refugee ship is really surprising.
They are said to be refugees, but in fact most of them are the return wave of some Outer Rim planets people who left the Galactic Republic controlled area in a spaceship and returned to their hometown. Because now the smell of war between Galactic Republic and Separatists is getting stronger and stronger. Individuals know that war is imminent, so those who go to the Galactic Republic controlled area to do business or go to work are preparing to go home, fearing that they will become victims of the war.
Therefore, in the past six months or so, the passenger flights between Outer Rim and Inner Rim have been full every day, and every day they are crowded with people who had to abandon their careers and return to their hometowns because of the war.
"Actually, we have also begun to evacuate." Mina replied while looking around, and then pulled Padmé to an inconspicuous corner.
"Evacuation? You mean those separations..." Padmé stopped mid-sentence. She felt that it was not polite to mention this word in front of her friend and teacher.
"That's right, Separatists. It's us planets that support Separatists." After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Mina said openly, "Because of the incident of "Military Creation Act", we saw that Galactic Republic really seemed to want to start a war, so we had no choice but to go home."
"But... it's not over yet!" Padmé lowered his voice and said, "We are thinking of ways to make sure this bill is not passed!"
"But even you were forced to leave Coruscant, weren't you?" Mina asked.
"No... this kind of thing..." Padmé wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start.
"Listen to me Padmé. Chancellor Palpatine is the one who really wants to start a war." Mina said earnestly, "Frank has told us about this matter more than once. It was he who gave us the strength to continue fighting in the parliament. Otherwise, I would have wanted to leave two years ago."
"No... Although the Speaker is sometimes hesitant, he will never want war. He has had countless opportunities to push Galactic Republic into war, but every time he personally pulled Galactic Republic back from Abyss of war." Padmé said.
"There are many things that you can't see in Coruscant..." Mina-Bontri sighed, without trying to persuade Padmé, "Goodbye Padmé, I just don't know what kind of occasion we will meet next time... Sigh..."
After saying that, she carried her suitcase and got back into the crowded crowd in the cabin without looking back, and disappeared.
Padmé wanted to say something more, but Anakin beside him grabbed her by the cattails and pulled her back to the wall. Then he stood up and blocked her with his body.
"Be careful, Padmé. Someone is looking for you. That person just now, she really helped you." Anakin said lightly.
Padmé-Amidala looked over and found a few people in casual clothes looking around, as if they were looking for something. But when they looked here, they seemed to see nothing.
"Don't worry, I will protect you. This is my promise." Anakin said confidently.
"Those people just now..."
"Yes, I used the Force to make them unable to see anything."
Padmé-Amidala then realized that his hand was being held by Anakin, and quickly shook it off, as if he was electrocuted.
Anakin rubbed his fingers without leaving a trace, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
On the other side, a man with an expression as if someone owed him a million came over and asked Mina, "Who were you talking to just now?"
"Oh, it's a former student of mine, his name is... Susan." Mina-Bontri smiled.
The man nodded and said seriously, "Please be careful and don't talk to people casually. After all, we don't know if Galactic Republic will attack us. Palpatine is a person with different appearances. It's not surprising if he does anything secretly. But please don't worry, we Intelligence Department will do our best to protect you from Coruscant."
Mina smiled reluctantly, "Okay, thank you for your protection."
"In addition, if you see Padmé-Amidala, remember to report it. There is an extremely dangerous Jedi Knight following her and must be captured." The man added.
Mina said, "Don't worry, if I see her, I will report it to you immediately."
After saying that, she frowned and thought about it, "Is it dangerous Jedi Knight?"
Like other Outer Rim planets people, she had no good impression of Jedi Order, so she really began to worry about Padmé's safety. But she thought about it carefully and remembered that there was really no one else around Padmé just now, she was just alone. So he shook his head in relief and found a relatively spacious place to sit on his luggage.
Anakin-Skywalker accompanied Padmé-Amidala back to Naboo. Padmé did not appear in public because her other maid was playing her role in Coruscant.
So during this period of time, Padmé simply let go of everything and returned to his hometown to live with Anakin-Skywalker.
Anakin-Skywalker When he first saw Padmé 10 years ago, he regarded her as the most beautiful angel in the world. At that time, Padmé left an indelible impression on Anakin's heart. Therefore, after 10 years of separation, he, who was already in love, finally couldn't hold back his inner emotions and vented all the fire in the past 10 years.
He began a crazy pursuit of Padmé.
And Padmé also fell in love with this sunny, handsome, brave and decisive boy at first sight. Although she has been running around as Queen and a member of parliament for 10 years, and has little impression of Anakin when she was a child, it does not stop her from pursuing Anakin as a woman now.
A young, powerful and confused Jedi Knight came together with an equally young and beautiful congressman, like a raging fire.
At this moment, all the precepts of Jedi Knight, the constitution of Galactic Republic, any identity barriers, and age gaps were all thrown away.
What Separatists, what Galactic Republic, what war, what parliament, what Military Creation Act, all were completely forgotten.
At this moment, the young couple who had just fallen in love were just madly in love. They were enjoying the precious world of two people in this troubled world and enjoying love.
