Chapter 3
Queen Jamillia
Obi-Wan was the driver of the air taxi they owned. Anakin silently kept to himself in the passenger's seat. Thoughts of Padme and his mother clouded his mind. They were like a toxic fog that brought forth many torturous internal beatings. It was like rubbing salt on the wounds of his soul...
Obi-Wan pulled into the Palace docking station and parked the flying vehicle in a vacant spot. The Master and his Padawan learner got out of the craft and walked towards a guarded door.
The guards inspected the Jedi nights and allowed them access into the building. A handmaid met the two through the door and motioned for them to follow her.
She led them through long passages and jewled walls until they reached the Royal Throne room. On the throne sat the Queen of Naboo. She was dressed in a lacey black dress, which had abstract designs sewed on with great skill. Her face was covered with the traditional white paint and she had the "Scar of Rememberance" painted on her bottom lip. The Scar of Rememberance is to remind the peoples of Naboo of the hard times and pain that they had undergone before their city had flourished.
Anakin and Obi-Wan bowed to Queen Jamillia and she gave them permission to rise. The Queen's Handmaids were lined on both sides of her throne, dressed in rainbow gowns that had hoods, which shadowed their identities.
"Welcome Jedi nights," Queen Jamillia proclaimed with a deep and powerful voice. "I and grateful that you have fulfilled my request of joining me here."
"We are yours to serve, your Highness," Obi-Wan replied.
"I have a favor to ask you, Obi-Wan Kenobi," Jamillia stated. "The Jedi Master Yoda has recommended you and your Padawan learner to take my short-term request."
"Anything you ask of me will be for filled, your Grace," was Obi-Wan's response.
"Good," the Queen said with a nod. "I would like you to guard my niece who is recently visiting me. I have my own protection, but I fear that some may look at her as good ransom material. I fear for her safety, but also look forward to her presence here in my kingdom. Do you accept?"
"I accept, your Grace," Obi-Wan replied.
"Good," she said with a heart-warming smile. "She will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. I will now inform her family of her temporary security. I am sure they will feel relieved that such a fine Jedi Knight will be protecting young Janaka."
The Queen the nodded her head and dismissed herself from the throne room. Her handmaidens followed, their heads bowed low with respect for the Queen of Naboo.
When the guards had also left, leaving the two Jedi's alone, they discussed their new assignment.
"This will be a great practice for you, Anakin," Obi-Wan said, breaking the silence in the room. "You will learn some helpful hands-on experience starting tomorrow."
"I hope this assignment can help relieve some of my thoughts," was all Anakin replied with. This was his true hope for his future.
A servant then appeared in the throne room and gave the two Jedi a small bow. "The Queen has had your bedrooms set up. I trust that you didn't leave anything of importance at your previous residence?"
"Yes," Obi-Wan answered. "We are ready to be shown to out
rooms.

Just for those who are getting suspicious, there will be no romance or love
exchanged between Anakin and Janak. I will also add that I will bend the story
a little, Padme will make an appearance, but no chemistry or anything else major
will appear in this fic!
