Kylo Ren and his twin sister came into the throne room. They bowed briefly to the young queen and her brother, her lowered their heads in return out of respect.

"Ben, Katherine, it's been a long time..." Darian began.

"I am Kylo Ren now Darian, Ben is gone."

Darian nodded. "Yes of course, my apologies." He looked at Katherine. "What about you?"

"They just call me Ren, but you can still call me Katherine," she answered. "Since you're a friend."

Darian nodded and smiled at her. "My sister and I want to invite both of you to a banquet to welcome you to Naboo," he said.

"Thank you," said Katherine.

Kylo nodded in agreement.

Later...

They all gathered in the banquet hall.

"What brings you here, Kylo Ren?" Queen Natalia asked.

"We came to persuade you to allow Naboo to join the first order's cause. We can use all the support that we can get," he answered.

"Naboo has always been on the side of the republic, Kylo, we can't abandon our allies now," Natalia answered.

"The galaxy is torn apart, the republic is crumbling. The first order is the only thing that can keep the peace now," Kylo answered.

"If you join us now, then we could convince our supreme leader to allow you to continue to rule Naboo. As an ally of the first order, we could ensure that Naboo and it's people would be protected," said Katherine.

Queen Natalia nodded thoughtfully. Then she looked at her brother for advice.

He nodded.

"Yes, Naboo will join the first order," said Queen Natalia.

"Thank you, your highness," said Kylo.

"We will discuss more terms after we finish eating," said Darian.

Kylo nodded.

Just then, Katherine frowned.

Kylo looked at her, "what's wrong, sister?" he asked her.

"I don't know," she answered slowly. "I... I feel a disturbance in the Force."

Kylo closed his eyes for a moment. "I feel it too," he said finally.

"What do you think is causing it?" she asked him.

"I don't know," he answered. "I think that we should have a look around." He looked at Queen Natalia. "Please excuse us, your highness."

She nodded, then Kylo and Katherine stood up and left the banquet hall.

They made their way through the halls of the palace, following where the Force led them.

Finally they came to the servants hall. They stopped when they came to a door where the Force signature was it's strongest. They could hear the sound of a girl crying from the other side of the door.

"I think that this is where the Force signature is coming from," Katherine told her brother.

He nodded.

Katherine knocked on the door.

The room was silent for a moment before they heard a voice say: "come in."

Katherine opened the door slowly to find a young woman crying on her bed. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"One of the other handmaidens, Talia is cruel to me all of the time. She is always finding something cruel to say," the young woman answered.

Kylo felt bad for her. "Why is she cruel to you?" he asked.

"Because I'm different," she answered.

"Because you have the Force?" Katherine asked.

She nodded.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of, my brother and I both have the Force. It is a gift, having the Force doesn't just mean that you are different, it means that you are special," said Katherine.

The girl nodded. "Thank you," she said.

"What's your name?" Kylo asked.

"Leona," she replied.

"My name is Kylo and this is my twin sister, Katherine," he told her.

"It's nice to meet you both," she answered.

Katherine offered her a friendly smile. "It's nice to meet you too."

"My sister and I need a personal assistant, would you be interested in taking the job?" Kylo asked.

"Yes," she answered.

"We'll speak to Queen Natalia about it," said Katherine.
