Chapter 3

Leia was humming to herself; she had prepared her argument as to why Han should accompany her to the mission. General Isaac would not know what hit him when the meeting came. Leia would not have him abusing the situation on the planet the arranged meeting was to be held, however the thought had not crossed her mind that instead of General Isaac she would have to deal with the cockiness of Captain Han Solo. Deep down however, she knew that Han would never abuse the situation beyond a joke.

She thought about the mission, it would be an emotionally draining one, meeting someone who knew her adoptive mother Breha, someone who would likely stir in her all the emotions she tried so hard to keep boxed away, but if this could help her get some kind of closure, as well as help the alliance then she would do it.

First thing first was to meet the council and discuss this impediment. General Isaac had called it for a ridiculously early time in the morning and looked bright and chipper. He smiled at Leia who to his surprise smiled back sweetly.

'Morning Princess, I trust you are feeling better today?' referring to her angered nature at the last visit.

'Oh I am General, in fact I want to thank you for arranging the meeting at the planet of Rotherti, it has made the mission so much enjoyable, and I am beginning to look forward to it' of course Leia said this to give him a sense of irony when her grand announcement was made, she would never admit that on some kind of level her words were true and that she was looking forward to having another mission with Captain Solo. Reikan looked at Leia and raised an eyebrow, he knew there was some kind of falling out between the General and Princess, but Leia had not confided in him what it was.

'I think we should get this meeting started, don't you General?' Asked Reikan, pointing out that everyone was seated and ready, whereas General Isaac stood dumbfounded that Leia was so calm and happy, he had relied on her to get emotional so that he could gain full control over the mission, claiming that this was too close to home for Leia. The General smiled coyly, he could make this mission even worse for the Princess.

'Right you are Reikan, I was thinking we should discuss the planet Rotherti's culture so that we can find a good story as to why we're travelling there and how we should behave, we've already established that I will be going there with Princess Leia and tha..'

'Actually that was not agreed on General, we agreed that I would have to be accompanied by a male, and it was kind of you to volunteer, despite how busy you are and the paperwork piling up on your desk, so I managed to find another volunteer with less responsibilities than you' Leia looked around pleased, Reikan was nodding in approval, while the other members of the council didn't seem to agree or disagree. General's Isaac's face however was showing signs of distress. He was trying not to act angry, and trying to pull an interested face on at the same time, it looked like the veins in his forehead would burst, he needed to go with the Princess, it was imperative for his plans!

'Princess, I assure you, your safety is of more importance than my paperwork, Luke is not available and there is no one else with good training and privy to the circumstances around'

'that's where you're wrong, Han Solo has volunteered to accompany me, General Reikan can tell you how effective he has been on past missions with me' replied Leia

'but he costs money!'

'that's where your wrong, General' replied a different voice, Han Solo stepped fully into the room 'this one's on me'

Isaac looked panicked, and then he smiled like a cat that had found the blue milk, 'so Princess Leia, are you really ready to allow Solo to be your master for the duration of the mission?'

The whole room went quiet, Han looked at Leia and Leia looked at Han

'Master?' they both queried.
