Ben sat down in a nice suit with his men near him.

The Naboo Queen walked down the stairs with some elaborate gown on.

With golden swirls and her hair high into some style. The golden swirls made some sort of wing look on her sides .

Her makeup was heavy and he could tell it took hours to do.

Soon the announcer began again "Announcing her Royal Highness Princess Reyhanne Satine Kenobi of the high tides of Mandlorian and the sands of Jakku"

Rey began to float down the stairs. She looked light and silky. The material had creases butterflies on the top.

A soft pink colored belt defined her waist while her shoulders where bare .

Rey's hair was down in curls, thick braids wove around her head and was crowned with crown.

The crown was a rose gold color and decorated with leaves and diamonds.

She stepped down and walked to Ben who was standing with Poe and Finn.

"Shut your mouths boys you'll catch flies" Ben snapped when she approached .

"You all look handsome" Rey smiled at them. "Ben there is a man who is staring ... the red head to the right" she said softly.

He nodded and turned his way to see him slyly. Ben recognized him immediately.

Ben grasped her wrist softly "that's General A. Hux, First Order..." Ben said " stay away from him" she nodded and he released her softly , rubbing the skin with his thumb.

"May I ask for this dance ?" The queen asked Ben. He walked to her and they began.

"How do they know each other?" Rey asked Finn as they sat at their table.

"He and she... she had a major thing for him... he used to be in the junior senate, representing Tatooine and D'Quar, he left when the war began and choose to do something else" Finn told her.

Rey watched as they danced , the queen flirting disgustingly with him. "What's the queens name ?"

"Whenna" Finn said "she's on her second term in office"

"Hmm" Rey said and then watched as the queen and Ben went to grab drinks .

Rey circled the top of her own glass with her finger , she saw a champagne flute in the queen's hand with a smile on her face .

Rey focused on the glass. Her eyes dark on it and her brows knitted together .

Rey watched as the glass in her hand broke, causing champagne to fall on her .

She blinked like she was surprised and watched as Ben tried to help her.

Angrily she bite her lip and then focused on the queen's crown.

Rey looked at the jewels and gold. Rey flared her nostrils and then the crown broke in two .

The queen was changing as the ball went on , Ben walked to Rey and asked her to dance .

She happily agreed and followed the handsome man to the floor.

"I have news from your grandfather" he said.

"Which is?" Rey asked.

"You are to be married to the prince from Tython, we'll be taking you there now" he said as they waltzed slowly .

"Why?" She asked .

"They're growing stronger and well... your grandfather says you need allies" he explained .

Rey sighed and looked down, her eyes staring at his feet "must I ?"

"You're people" he said his hand on her back, rubbing the small softly and holding her other hand in his.

"Ben I -"

"Stop" he said and she quickly closed her mouth "you're a princess  you where born to help those and if marrying some prince will help your people then you'll marry the promo okay?" He said .

She nodded and rested her head on his shoulder . He kissed the crown of her head and sighed .

*

It was nighttime and he walked to her room to check on her . He opened the door to see her in a long green nightgown and a green robe .

Her hair was in a plait "hey you okay?" Ben asked.

"Yes" she smiled and then he looked around her room .

"Can I go or-"

"No" she said "your my royal guard. You must stay in the room to be sure no one will try to hurt me"

"I don't even a blaster on me-" she then handed him a sliver piece of metal . "What's ?"

"It's a light saber" she said "it will protect me and you from anything that lurks in the dark" she replied then crawled into bed .

"Umm-"

"A guard can do one of the following . Sleep outside the door, sleep against the door. Sleep on a armchair or sleep at the bottom of the bed" she replied .

"What's the whole -"

"I am now an engaged woman... my head is now double the price and double the people will try to gather that money" she replied and then took off her robe .

She laid down and closed her eyes , "tune the lights off when you figure out where you would like to sleep" she said and the yawned.
