Later that day they decided to go to the museum, before the maid Sabe returned, they did not wanted to know more about their fatherhood, at least for now, the twins considered that it was better to take one step at the time, they return to the house in the lake, when they arrived back at the lake house Luke went to take a bath while Leia stayed in the kitchen talking with the chef of the place about some places to eat.

"Well you always could go and go for a picnic in the hill, it's beautiful up there, and you even could eat next to the watterfalls"

"Really? this planet is so full of life, it's really beautiful"

"Well after the rise of the empire our queen struggled to keep Naboo that way"

"But this the emperor's home planet, I would think he would want to keep his planet this way" said Leia

"Yes well, after he became Chancellor he did not care Naboo that much, in fact I think he didn't even care Naboo when he was senator"

"What do you mean?" asked Leia, interested about knowing more about the old republic, and being in this house, and cooking and talking was a kind of talk she always wanted to know with her mother without caring what the subject was.

"Well when the planet was in serius problem with Nute Gunray and the trade federation, and since they wanted the queen to sign something, so that the invasion could be legal, the Queen went to Courasant to ask the senator help in presenting the case in the senate, and you would think a senator would want to help their planet, after all that's why he's there"

"Of course, and He didn't help them?"
"Oh no, He wanted to leave the case behind and if the people die, who cares? He wanted to solve everything in Courassant while he little by little came closer being a Chancellor"

"And what did the queen do?"

"Well she couldn't stay on Courassant so she returned to Naboo and..."

"But she could die, because that would mean they would capture her" Leia interrupted

"Yes!, that's what made her more special than the other queens, that she was willing to die for her people, but anyway when she was in Naboo, she fougth the trade federation, figthing to take control of the palace, and when she did, she arrested Nute Gunray"

"Die for her people? well that shows commiment, that you can die that way, without thinking about you or your family, your husband, your children, I can only imagine the proud they felt when they knew"

"Oh but she didn't die" said the maid "well at least not in that battle, after the battle of Naboo she continue her reign as queen of Naboo for two terms more"

"Two terms, that means like 8 years rigth?"

"Yep" she tasted the meal she was preparing "this seems delicious, and after that we all tough she was going to get married and have children"

"Have children? But she must had had like 35 or something by the time she retire"

"35? Oh no, when all the chaos happen with the trade federation she was 14"

"14? And already risking all of that, and with that kind of leadership, I could not imagine someone at the age of 14 with that caracteristics" said Leia astonished, 14? she did not anything that great at 14, and this queen was already saving a planet

"Oh well that's what made Queen Amidala a very special leader" said the maid, that was looking for a basket to put the food for the picnic

"Amidala?" said Leia, she could not believe all of this, it seem that all resume to this woman, and it was like they talk about two different people, one the political and the other was still and enigma for her, but these two woman where the same, and they may be her mother

"Yes, Padme Amidala, and then she became a senator, and well that's another history"

"Did you knew her?" asked Leia

"Me? no I did not, Altough I would have liked, when she was saving the planet I was busy playing with my dolls" she said laughing a little

"But she did get married, we heard about the secret wedding" said Leia, everytime she wanted to know more about that fact

"I don't know about that, but who cares? she deserved having a private life, after all the time she spend defeding Naboo till the day she die, and I will tell you this, because I really like you, if you want to know more about her, hear about her politics, her path as a queen and senator, you'll not find more about her personal life, she kept that part as the most important and more precious to her, I think nobody truly knows what happened in this house when she was here" said and then she finally finished packing all the things for the picnic "well here it is, Paddy out there will tell you the way to the hills in the minute your brother ends his shower, good luck child" said the maid

"Thanks" said Leia, she was rigth, Padme Amidala was sure a great woman, so why focus in something that was only a bit part of her, and not in all the good that she did.
