Star Wars: The Holy Empire

"What is the meaning of these battle droids being here!!" cried out a worried Neimoidian Representative

"I believe it is time for you to leave." I said "And it's like you said, the Galaxy is a big and dangerous place, so please let my B1s escort you back safely to your shuttle."

"NO!" cried out Neimoidian Representative

The Neimoidian Representative realized that he was losing his cool a lot today because of me and he knows that him losing his cool was a bad image for the Trade Federation so he decided to calm himself down a little.

"I mean no thank you. Thank you for the offer but its ok." replied the Neimoidian Representative "I can have my droids come down to escort me back to my ship."

The Neimoidian Representative quickly took out a portable holocommunicator with shaky hands because he is a little scared with my Battle Droids surrounding him and when he was about to activate it, I used [Force Pull] to pull it out of his hands and into my hand before he could open communications with his ship.

"What is the meaning of this!" said the Neimoidian Representative with a tinge of fear in his voice

"I am deeply sorry but we can not allowed that to happen." I said "We don't want another Trade Federation Official to issue another invasion against Naboo. So we can not allow you to have any of your Battle Droids on Naboo, so why not just let my droids take you back. I assure you that they are well behaved."

"No, that is fine. There is no need for an escort." said the Neimoidian Representative "I will head back now then but I will be back to get our payment for your debt."

"I am sorry to say this but the Senate Court has decided that Naboo's Debt will be put on hold because of the matter with Viceroy Gunray's little actions against Naboo." said Palpatine "So the Trade Federation will not able to to collect any payment from Naboo until the Court makes a final decision on this matter."

"DAMN IT" said the Neimoidian Representative

The Neimoidian Representative turns to leave.

"Dear Representative." I said

"WHAT DO YOU WANT!" shouted out the Neimoidian Representative

"I am truly worried for your safety, if you don't want my droids to escort you back to your ship safely, why don't I personally escort you myself." I said

The Neimoidian Representative started to see me to be a very scary person and wanted to get as far away from me as possible because he had a feeling that if I had the chance, I would do something bad to him, which he was corret about.

"That won't be needed." cried out the Neimoidian Representative

He then quickly storms out of the Throne Room and was soon out of sight with some of his compatriots who were standing off to the side.

"That's good, run away with your tails between your legs." I said softly to myself

I then turn to Padme

"Your Majesty, I am happy to see you again." I said

"Jerid, I am also happy to see you again." said Padme in her calm queen voice "I would like to thank you for your help just now. The Trade Federation's Representative was a real headache to deal with and he wouldn't leave no matter what I try to say to him."

"That' ok, your Majesty. You are still inexperience with dealing with scumbags like that Representative, you only need time and practice to get better at dealing with scumbags." I said "I can help teach you if you would like."

"That would be a great help to me." said Padme who smiled a little before going back to her stoic face.

"If you want help in learning more about politics and negotiations, I am more than willing to help out." smiled Palpatine "And Jerid, I have to say I am very impressed with the way you handled that Representative. I also learned that you are a powerful Force User, and you played a big role in saving Naboo. I would like to thank you for saving my homeworld. I also could really use a powerful Force user with skills like yours on my side who can help me out with corrupt politicians and other tasks. Would you like to work for me after your contract with the Queen is over?"

"I am sorry, Supreme Chancellor, but I won't be able help you out because after I leave Naboo, I will be very busy with some important tasks that I must complete." I said

When Padme heard me talking of me leaving Naboo, she became sadden but even though she didn't show it on her face, I was able to tell through the Force. Padme quickly got her emotions in order and turned to Palpatine.

"Thank you for the offer but I wouldn't want to disturb you and take time away from your very busy schedule, Supreme Chancellor. You have more important matter to do then teach me about politics. I will have Jerid teach me." said Padme "Also you will have a lot more on your plate in the future with you trying to clean up the Senate and make the Republic a better place for everyone."

"If that is what you want your Highness." said Palpatine "But just know that my offer is always open for you anytime you want it."

"Thank you, and now if you will excuse me, I will be heading back to my quarters for I am tired after all of the harassment from the Trade Federation Representative." said Padme

Padme got up and walk out of the Throne Room with her Handmaidens while I stayed behind.

Palpatine turns to me.

"My friend, may we chat?" asked Palpatine

"What can I do for the Supreme Chancellor?" I asked

"Are you really sure you don't want to work for me? I am even willing to give you a high paying salary." said Palpatine "You would also be doing the Republic a great favor by working for me. You will also be helping me make the Republic and the Galaxy a better place for all."

"I am sorry but I still have to continue to decline your offer." I said "Besides the important tasks that I have to do will help me make the Galaxy a better place."

"I see, then I wish you the best of luck in completing your tasks and good luck in your adventures." said Palpatine who then walks away and out of the Throne Room.

I could tell that he was upset about me declining to work for him. I can't be sure why he wants me to work for him but I do have two pretty sure ideas of why. The first reason is to keep me close so he can watch my every move and make sure I don't mess up anymore of his future plans. The second is to try to corrupt me and convert me into his new Sith Apprentice. Who knows it might even be both of those reasons.

'Just you wait Palpatine, all of your plans will come crumbling down.' I thought in my head 'I can't wait to see his face when that happens.'

I then headed out of the Throne Room and towards Padme's Quarters

I soon arrive outside Padme's Quarters. Also outside are two Handmaidens standing guard at the door.

I approach the door but then the Handmaidens held out one of their arms to make an X to stop me from approaching the door.

"Master Jerid, the Queen is tired from these last two days from stalling the Trade Federation Representative." said one Handmaiden

"Please let the Queen rest. She hasn't had a good nights sleep these past few days." said the other Handmaiden

"I understand." I said "Thank you two for looking after her."

"There is no need for thanks, Master Jerid." said the two Handmaidens "It is our duty to serve the Queen. We should be the ones thanking you. Not only have you saved Naboo but you have help us and the Queen in our time of need. Especially your help in getting rid of that pesky and annoying Representative"

"It's no problem." I said "I will head back to my Quarters to rest. Have a good night, you two."

I head back to my Quarters to rest.

Soon, I was at the door to my quarters when the door suddenly opened up and rushing out was R2-D4.

"Master, you are back." said R2-D4 "I missed you so much. How could you leave me behind and go on adventures without me"

"It's good to see you too, R2-D4." I said "I am sorry for leaving you here by yourself but don't you have HK to keep you company?"

"HK is so boring though, all he talks about are different ways to kill meatbags. It is really annoying to listen to him sometimes so I decided to make myself useful and help HK train your Droid Army by making the Droids learn Battle Strategies and Tactics." said R2-D4

"When did you learn Battle Strategies and Tactics?" I asked

"I hacked into some computers and I downloaded all War Strategies and Tactics that have ever been created in the Galaxy." said R2-D4 "Now 1/10 of my memory bank is full and half of the Droid army understands some of the information I taught them."

"That's amazing." I said "With your help, my droid army will become one of the greatest armies in the Galaxy."

"It was nothing Master." said R2-D4

"Alright R2-D4, it is night time and I will head to bed now." I said

"Okey-dokey, Master." said R2-D4 "I will go and inspect the Droid Army then and make sure they aren't slacking off."

R2-D4 then heads off, and I enter my room and jump onto the bed. I slowly closed my eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.
