It was bright and early in the morning. Speeders zoomed throughout Coruscant. The citizens were oblivious of the current events that happened last night. Both  Anakin and Obi Wan sat outside of Astoria's door for the entire night even after she insisted they get some rest. Moments later the princess wakes up and was surprised to see both Jedi's slump on her door. As soon as they saw her figure, they shot up and straitened their clothes.

"Good Morning Master Kenobi, Anakin" she smiled softly. The light reflected on her hazel eyes making them appear more beautiful. Anakin was in a sort of trance. Never has she looked more beautiful to him than now. Obi Wan noticed Anakin starting too long at the princess. He nudged Anakin in his stomach breaking him into reality.

"Would you both like to accompany me in during breakfast?" She smiled politely.

"You don't have to Astoria. We're perfectly fine"

"Oh but I insist Obi Wan. I want you both to have breakfast with me and Ravenna" Astoria persisted. Obi wan sighed. He saw that Astoria would take no for an answer. He reluctantly agreed. The 3 walked inside the dining hall where they saw many servers setting up the table for them. They each took a seat. Anakin sat infront of Astoria with Obi Wan beside him.

"Do you happen to know where the senator is at?" She asked a young server. He nodded in reply.

"He's informed us that he has flown back to Alderaan to inform your parents of your being" the young server softly said. Confusion and anger was evident on the young princess' face.

"Why? He didn't have to do that?" She muttered to herself. She glared at her plate. Both Jedi noticed the quick change in Astoria's mood. Her once calm expression was no more.

"They do have to right to know Astoria." Obi Wan reasoned with her. The princess sighed and sat back into her chair.

"Yes but I do not want them to worry much about me. They have a kingdom to run" I looked down onto my plate. I proceeded to cut my bread as Obi Wan continued.

"But you're also the future ruler of your planet. And their only child" I sighed. Ravenna came walking in bowing slightly to me. I dismissed her and asked that she be seated.
Breakfast went by fast. All four of us interacted with one another gleefully. They shortly excused themselves after eating, saying that they'd have to report to the Jedi council. I watched as both men walked out the room but my eyes lingered on Anakin.

"I see you've taken an interest in the padawan" Ravenna announced. Astoria choked on the substance that she was drinking. She set the goblet down and pat her mouth dry with a napkin.

"For godsake, Ravenna not this again. We've already discussed this." Astoria looked annoyed at her closest friend.

"I know we have. I'll stop bringing the topic up if you just admit the truth" Ravenna smirked taking a sip out of her own goblet.

"What truth?" Astoria rolled her eyes.

"The truth that you care for Anakin" Astoria turned to face her friend. Her once teasing persona changed to a look of seriousness. Astoria knew when Ravenna is teasing or when she's being serious. And right now she was being serious. Astoria didn't see the point in trying to deny it anymore.

"I do care for Anakin. But we can never be together. He's training to be a Jedi and would be the queen of Alderaan. I would have to marry someone of the noble house and Anakin has sworn his life to the the council. It would have never worked" she smiled sadly.

"Yes it would. When you become queen, you can change the rules so you can Wed him" Ravenna thought out loud excitedly.

"He's still a Jedi Ravenna. I doubt he'd give up his duty to be with me. Now please, let us drop the topic" Astoria insisted. Ravenna finally decided to drop the subject.

"As you wish,your grace" Ravenna complied.

From a distance, the two Jedi finally arrived infront of the council. Everyone was worried. How could something get past their noses. Especially under Master Yoda.

"How is the princess?" The dark skinned man asked the two men infront of him.

"She is doing well Master Windu. She's under strict watch by Senator Organa's guards"

"That's good. And have you found any information on who's behind the attacks on Princess Killesa?" Windu asked curiously. Obi wan nodded

"Yes. We chased down an assassin last night. But before they could tell us any information, someone shot them with a toxic dart. But they did say that they were given orders under a noble family" everyone in the room began to whisper to one another until master Windu told them to quiet down.

"A noble? Did they say who or which noble house?" Windu questioned Obi Wan. To everyone, it was forbidden for any noble house to threaten or attemp on the life of their superiors. Even more so when it's on Alderaan. The noble houses has finally agreed to a piece treaty that can not easily be broken.

"No Master Windu" he nodded. He turned to face Master Yoda.

"What shall we do?"

"Obviously whoever is under these attacks must have close relations to the royal family. No one but them know that the true princess is here" Yoda replied.
"hide her, we shall"

"Yes but where? Alderaan isn't safe for her anymore and neither is Coruscant" Windu interjected.

"Perhaps we should send her to a distant relative." Shaak Ti suggested.

"Yes but the entire house of Killesa resides in Alderaan" Plo Koon mentioned.

"Not all of them" In walks Senator Organa, back from his trip to Alderaan. He bowed to the Jedi council.

"What do you mean Senator?" Obi Wan asked curiously.

"I know for a fact that the King has a cousin that lives on Naboo. Maybe they could keep her hidden there" the senator proposed.

"Maybe" master Windu and the rest of the council were hesitant. All except for Master Yoda.

"Masters, this is the only way to keep my goddaughter safe" and it was true. For they fear that if the life of the princess is taken, a war on Alderaan would take place again.

"Right he is. It's our last and only plan to keep Princess Astoria safe"

"But what about the so called traitor of the royal family?" Ki Adi Mundi asked.

"Master Kenobi, I want you to fly to Alderaan and track down the traitor within the palace walls" master Windu ordered Obi wan which he quickly agreed to.

"Anakin will protect The princess on Naboo" Anakin's eyes widen at the sudden news.

"I've never parted ways with my master" it was true. He had his master correct all the mistakes he's done and now that they're both being sent on different mission, Anakin is most likely to mess up. But his Master and the entire council were sure that he could handle this on his own.

"This is the opportunity to prove yourself worthy, young Skywalker" Anakin was still scared but agreed to the council's wishes

"It's settled. Tomorrow you and the princess will fly to Naboo." Soon both Jedi were headed back to the senators home. But the young padawan's mind was clouded. What if he causes the downfall of the princess?

So sorry. I've been so busy. But I did it. Hope y'all don't hate me for it.;
