Chapter Eight- Coffin or a Man
With a sigh Ben knocked on her door and waited patiently for her to answer.
She opened the door and sighed "hey... we landed on Naboo, um... we are ... there's a couple nice places in the city if you'd like to come see it with us" he said.
"Naboo?" She asked "hmm-"
"My grandmother was queen here and the current queen would like to see you, Naboo funds the trips sometimes so they know a lot... they have some cool markets and stuff"
"I'd love too" she smiled and Ben sighed with relief.

The four walked along the city streets of Naboo. "When I was a kid, my dad used to joke that Naboo was where all good people went to die" he said.
"That's quite a saying" Rey laughed slightly.
"I have family here... the Amidala's, my mom's biological mother lived her and was in the senate"
"Interesting" Rey smiled "can we go in here ?" She asked and Ben nodded.
They walked around the simple museum for a bit, turning corners and then Ben found her .
Rey's eyes were on a painting of a young Padmè, she wore the traditional white face makeup and large bun .
A red gown with long flowing sleeves and a high collar hung onto her.
"Who is that man?" Rey asked Ben pointing to a man in the darkness , she could see a robe of sorts and hazel eyes .
"Her lover, Anakin" Ben told her "Padmè was a queen, Anakin was a Jedi it was forbidden"
"Anakin" she said and walked closer to the painting "Skywalker ?"
"The one and only" Ben smiled.
"Luke's father... your grandfather -"
"You're grandfather's apprentice turned Sith Lord, he was one crazy son of a banatha" Ben shook his head.
"He loved her" Rey noted looking at a photo of her delivering a speech and he behind her .
"How can you tell?" Ben asked her.
"It's in the eyes, he has that look of love in his eyes ... my grandfather has that look whenever he talks of my grandmother" Rey recalled.
"The same look my dad has when he talked about my mom" Ben added as he looked down at Rey.
"I wonder their story" Rey said and then sighed "lets continue shall we?"
*
Ben and Rey where eating lunch at some little diner when music was heard and fans roared .
Suddenly the doors busted open and the Queen walked in. Rey gasped and Ben quickly bowed .
"Bow" he said and Rey shook her head , the queen walked to her and Rey gave a straight face .
"You will bow before your queen" she said .
"You are a senate queen, you are elected. You hold no real royal name , power or money. You make solely political decisions for four years, you have no title over me" Rey said.
"And whom do you think you are" the queen asked.
Ben jumped in "my sister is very sick she's -"
"I am Princess Reyhanne Kenobi of Jakku, I am the King's only living relative and I hold more power over you. Jakku has more electoral power than Naboo your worshipfulness"
"It's can't be.. Princess Reyhanne has long hair and dresses in gowns made of silk not leggings" the queen laughed .
Rey gave her a cold face and then the queen bowed to her "a thousand apologies your highness" the queen said realizing what she had said and who Rey was "I beg for your forgiveness"
"I pardon you" Rey said waving a hand and she stood up.
*
A ball was thrown in Rey's honor and she was given all that a princess would .
A suite in the palace and a place for her trusted men. Ben received a com when she was in the drawing room.
"Hello?" Ben asked.
"Benjamin it is me, Obi-Wan... I have news there has been a change of plans"
"What's up?" Ben asked hiding in a closet so no one could hear him.
"The war with the new First Order is rising and getting closer. We need allies and ... there's one way to do it... Rey must marry the prince of Tython"
"What-"
"He will be expecting her soon... you must break it to her delicately... she marrying this prince is the only way to keep Jakku out of his war and keep her from harms way"
"Okay... I'll tell her ." Ben said and Obi-Wan thanked him.
Ben walked out and saw Rey in a navy satin robe, that flowed behind her as she held a candle to the mirror .
"They say you can find your future in the long row of candles stretching back so far away... it's a coffin or a man... everyone sees a man... but all I see is my face is the darkness" Rey sighed .
"Rey?" Ben asked.
Rey turned and walked to him, suddenly hugging him tightly "I have a bad feeling about tonight... don't let me out of your sight ... promise ? Your my royal guard now"
"I understand Princess" he smiled and rubbed her back.
