Chapter 26

The Royal Palace of the Queen of Naboo, Theed

The whole ride to the Palace had went in total silence, Padme had to admit that she was very nervous because of the fact that she was going to be inside the Palace again after all these years that she had been put into an artificial coma and she couldn't help but think all the time if anybody still remembered her and how they were going to react to see someone again that was supposed to be dead. She tried her best to put those thoughts aside for now, as she and the twins got out of the Taxi and Leia paid the amounts of credits that the taxi driver wanted to have for bringing the them to their destination. As the Taxi was out of sight the former Queen and Senator took a moment to look again at the wonderful sights around her and before they made their way into the inside of the Palace she took one deep breath in and out to kind of prepare herself for what was about to come.

The three went through a long aisle; Padme was still able to recognize all and to her it didn't feel like so long that she walked through these halls even if it was something like a decade that she had been present on her home world. They were stopped in their tracks by two Royal Security Guards: "Stop right there! May I know what brings you and your company to Queen Mairayn Miss Organa?" Leia was the first to step forward and said: "This is not a visit on an official business the two persons that accompany me are Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and former Senator Padme Amidala and the latter is my mother and has requested to speak with the Queen." Of course both of the Royal Security Guards couldn't help but look very irritated at Leia as she introduced the last person as someone who died right at the end of the Clone Wars and of course they thought that this has got to be a mistake. So instead of allowing them to continue their way to the Throne Room of the Queen the Security Guard that had stopped them replied: "That's impossible Padme Amidala died a couple of years ago under suspicious circumstances, so you have to do a lot of explaining until we can let you pass."

Of course Padme had kind of expected that there would be some problems in their way during their time on Naboo, so she decided to do all the explaining herself after she took one deep breath to prepare herself for it: "I understand that it's hard to believe that I'm really the person that I claim to be, trust me I had also a hard time comprehending how I had survived on the day where I supposedly died for the rest of the galaxy. The very wise Jedi Masters Obi Wan Kenobi and Ralkitta were able to put me into a stasis pod to prevent me from dying, even if I know that it maybe sounds unbelievable but trust me when I say that's the truth."

The two Royal Security Guards talked among themselves for a few minutes, trying their best to decide if they should believe this story and more importantly if something like that was even really possible with the technology of the Old Republic Era. It took a couple of minutes but then one of the Royal Security Guards said: "Okay you can continue your way down this hall to the throne room."

The Royal Palace, Throne Room

Of course Queen Mairayn had been informed of the unexpected visitors on Naboo and her two advisors Te'Lem Pek and Sio Bibble could see that she had still had a very hard time of believing that the former Queen Padme Amidala was alive. "I know the whole is hard to believe, especially for me because I was present at her funeral right here on Naboo but I think that we have to consider the possibility that she actually is who she claims to be." Sio Bibble said to a Queen, who was busy with her own thoughts about this whole thing and she was kind of unsure how to handle this delicate situation the right way.

"Get someone from the Royal Medicial Staff to the Throne Rome, because the only way that I can think of right now to prove her identity is a DNA Test." Queen Mairayn said to one of her aides that stood on the right side next to the throne of the Queen and as she watched one of her aides leave the room she couldn't help but think what had brought those surprise visitors to Naboo.

As they got closer and closer to the Throne Room, Padme's nervousness grew bigger by the minute and because her daughter was aware of that, she tried her best to calm down the nerves of her mother just a little bit by giving her hand a soft squeeze and the former Senator thanked her silently by smiling back at her in return.

When the three had reached the Throne Room, the Queen and her two advisors had just finished their conversation which was probably about them because one of the Royal Security Guards had notified the Queen of their arrival. As Leia spotted a droid on the other end of the room and guessed that Queen Mairayn wanted to verify that her mother really was who she claimed to be, which of course was understandable as a lot of the people from Naboo had been present at the funeral at the end of the big Clone Wars. "We all thank you very much for granting us this audience your majesty and I'm sure that all confusion about the sudden reappearance of my mother the former the Senator for Naboo during the days of the Old Republic can be sorted it out in the very end." Leia said after a few minutes of silence between the two parties and then the Queen finally replied: "Because of the still fragile security situation in the New Republic and the fact, that the whole is very hard to believe for me before I don't have some proof, I would ask you to let us conduct a quick DNA test to be sure that you're really the person that you say." Then she looked with a very serious expression on her face at Padme, who didn't hesitate long to answer: "I'm willing to fulfill that request your majesty, because if I would be in your position I would have done the same thing to protect my people from any possible enemy from the outside."

The Queen then just nodded to the medical droid in the other corner of the room, who complied with that command at once and prepared everything to do the Quick DNA Test that the Queen of Naboo had ordered. A little analysis unit had been prepared in the room next door, where the Droid brought the little Blood sample that he had got from the former Senator .
