Chapter Seven: Uproar in the Throne Room

The planet of Naboo is said to be one of the beautiful planets in the galaxy. Well to the Nabooians anyway. But evil slumbered in even the most beautiful parts of the planet.

In the throne room of the Theed Royal Palace, Naboo's current monarch Queen Neeyutnee and her advisors were being held capture by an unknown female assailant.

"I won't ask you AGAIN!" roared the assailant.

"I've already told you, Ventress. We will not side with you!" said the queen sternly.

Like her predecessors, Neeyutnee had learnt to stand her ground when it came to dealing with villains like Ventress.

Beside her, Neeyutnee's most respected advisor, Sola Naberrie looked frightened.

"The queen will never succumb to your taunts, Ventress!" hissed Sola.

The assassin merely looked and sneered at the ambassador of the Queen and laughed evilly.

"Your threats don't threaten me, girl!" sneered Ventress. Sola thought of insults to throw back at Ventress but held her tongue.

She was always very strong willed when it came to politics. Her sister was a former queen and was now a senator for Naboo. While their father, Ruwee was once an advisor to the late Onaconda Farr.

Ventress walked around the room to check on the other captives.

"Your Highness, we have to call for help." Sola whispers

"My dear Sola, you have already called for help. The Jedi are on their way." The Queen said quietly

Sola knew better than that. She had no love for the Jedi but she did tease her sister once about her Jedi protector whom she thought was her boyfriend. Sola, like the rest of the Naberrie family hadn't seen Padmé since before the Clone Wars started and were completely unaware that Padmé was married to a Jedi. Anakin Skywalker.

Sola recalled everything about the young man unknown to her now as her secret brother-in-law.

He had sandy blonde hair with a Padawan braid behind his left ear and he has piercing blue eyes that anyone had ever seen. He was polite yet shy around strangers. The entire family liked him immediately and all agreed that Padmé was smitten with him.

Sola wasn't sorry for all the taunting she had done to Padmé. She somehow knew that this Jedi may have been the one for her but she was just too stubborn to admit her true feelings. But she also knew that a relationship other than friendship for a Jedi was strictly forbidden.
