Note 9
Obi-Wan Kenobi,
Of course. I had to attend to show my respects to the person who bravely tried to protect Queen Amidala. I was only doing my duty. And how do you think the parade went? I hope it was to your liking. As soon as I received your last letter I began making the proper arrangements. How does young Skywalker like his trophy? Naboo is very proud of him, and you should be very proud of him as well. I'm sure that he will be a good apprentice for you. He looks like he is quite bright. Does he learn things quickly?
Yes, well when the time is right, I will give Anakin that book as promised. I just need to wait a few years until he is ready to read it. Like I said, it's very hard reading.
Yes well…the Supreme Chancellor's of the past have all had security guards. It is customary that new Supreme Chancellor's bring in their own guards. With the danger of the Sith out there, you never can be too safe. I feel confident that in the future I will need the assistance of at least one Jedi. We do not know where the future will go, or in what dark times we may be heading into.
Yes, my father taught me some self-defense. I was born and raised on a slightly dangerous planet, and I moved to Naboo when I was an adult. My father did have a considerable impact on my life…I learned everything from him. He educated me in everything that I know. The planet I grew up on had no formal form of education.
Let me know if the Sith ever does reveal himself. We must make sure that all Republic citizens are protected, and therefore, I must know of your findings immediately.
Of course I'll let you and Anakin read the book before it is published. I don't have a release date for it yet. I still need more information on Anakin so that I can complete it. Make sure you tell me everything that you feel comfortable revealing about Anakin.
I must go now.
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine
