Note 19

Padme,

It was a big shock for ALL of us to here that you were the daughter of the King and Queen of Coruscant. I understand that they have no official presence on Coruscant, and I'm glad that you will still be serving as Queen on Naboo. Your parents live on Naboo as well, and though they have royal blood form Coruscant. Weren't the King and Queen of Coruscant no longer the rulers of the planet when it became the capital of the Republic? Only a few people even know that Ruwee is the true descendant of the royal line on Coruscant. I'll tell you that NO ONE would have expected that. I wonder what little Anakin would think about that. It would be funny to see…but unfortunately he may never know.

So for your protection you were sent to live with your adoptive father? That's so strange. I just can't imagine that. You're the Princess of Coruscant (by blood, though like I said, no one on Coruscant today would recognize that status)…you…the person who has been my best friend for so many years.

I'm happy for you!!!!! Really I am!!!!

I miss talking to you everyday. Things are going well on for me. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to put in a resignation for being one of your handmaidens. It has been a long time in coming. I will miss you and the other handmaidens, but I cannot continue right now. I would be glad to resume the service sometime in the future. I will be going back with my husband to his home planet, and I would like you to come to visit someday..

Yes. It's great to have friends that will always speak the truth. You always do too. Have you seen Daria or Krilien recently?

Yes, guys are hard to figure out sometimes…even the nice ones such as my husband.

I thought that what we did after the end of the Naboo Celebration was very nice. The trips to the Zoo and Gardens were also nice. That show that we saw was spectacular.

Krilien's note? It was very nice. I think he's a basically good guy. It was very thoughtful of him to say those things.

Since I'm going to be moving away, I won't get the chance to see you as much. What I think I'll do is write you every year. I would like to hear from you as well. So, I guess, until next year.

Your best friend,
Sabe
