Padmé Amidala didn't know how she got back to the office. She curled up on the sofa in despair, trembling all over.
Dome hurried over to try to comfort her, but Padmé smiled and shook her head and said, "You go back first, Dome, I want to be alone for a while."
"Okay. I'm right outside the door. If necessary, you can notify me at any time through the pager." Domei didn't insist. She bowed and exited the office.
After the office door was closed, the tears that Padme had been holding back for a long time finally burst out of her eyes. She no longer suppressed her inner emotions and cried loudly... She cried so hard that she was almost heartbroken, hoarse, all the pain, all the sadness,
All love and all happiness turned into bitter tears at this moment, flowing down the cheeks and soaking the clothes.
She fell from the sofa to the floor, beating her chest and feet on the soft carpet, feeling extremely regretful...
From Palpatine's words, she understood the whole story and how the Necromancer found the secret manor - it was he who 'resurrected' Anakin's mother into a walking corpse, so he could directly use this connection to
It's not surprising to find that hiding place.
She believed that it was her own negligence that led to Anakin's death.
In the past few days, even after seeing the Order 66 issued by Anakin himself, Padmé still believed that she could bring her lover back to the light. She believed that with her loyal love and his mother's deep affection, it was enough.
Make Anakin change his mind.
But who knew that less than a day had passed and things had already ended like this!
From the intermittent memory storage of C-3PO and Rock Johnson, she also saw that Palpatine did not seem to speak this time, and things developed as he said. The Angel of Death did use him to resurrect Anna.
On the grounds of his mother, Anakin forced Anakin to become his master, but Anakin refused. Then the Angel of Death took action, and Anakin was no match for him, and was eventually killed.
Anakin...his lover really left her like that?
In just a few days, the Jedi Order was wiped out, Palpatine became the Sith Lord, and Anakin Skywalker died. Such drastic changes almost made Padmé, who was already in very bad health recently, even worse.
overwhelmed.
I don't know whether she fell asleep due to crying or passed out. When Padmé woke up, she found herself in the bedroom of the mansion, and two female-specific medical robots with a soft body and a very gentle voice were taking care of her.
she.
Domei sat in front of the bed with a sad look on her face.
"Am I... asleep?" Padmé murmured.
"Amidala, why didn't you tell me?" Seeing that she was awake, Dome rushed over and held Padmé's hand tightly.
"What's wrong?" Padmé asked.
"You're already pregnant! Two months..." Duomei said, tears streaming down her face, "Is it...his?"
Padmé turned her head to the other side, not looking at Dome. After a while, she said quietly: "Before going to the planet Onderon...probably."
"Why... why are you doing this..." Domei was still in disbelief. She couldn't believe that the smart and wise Senator Amidala, who had entered the political arena at a young age, had fallen so completely in love.
Her political strength and sharpness make it impossible for people to associate her with a weak woman who is willing to secretly get pregnant for her lover.
"Dome, I'm not pregnant, do you know that?" Padme said suddenly.
"But...your body..."
"Dome!" Padmé turned her head, stared into Dome's eyes, and said very seriously.
"It's... Senator Amidala..." Dome was in great pain.
Padmé Amidala raised her hand with difficulty, gently hugged her loyal maid, and said in her ear: "No matter what, Anakin or Master Yoda... they have not finished yet.
We must complete our cause. Only in this way can we be worthy of their sacrifice."
"Yes...yes..." Duomei also burst into tears.
She understood how much sacrifice Padmé had made with her decision, and she would continue to fight to the end in this increasingly cruel political arena, dragging her pregnant body with her.
"If it's a boy, let's call it 'Luke'...if it's a girl, let's call it 'Leia'." Padmé said with a smile.
…
20BBY, May.
With the issuance of Order 66, the Galactic Republic officially declared the Jedi Order treason, annihilated the Jedi Order, and hunted down every Jedi throughout the galaxy.
But for the Jedi Order, which has guarded the galaxy for more than 25,000 years, it is not just a military issue to wipe them out easily. The Speaker of the House, Sheev Palpatine, also made this decision.
I had to endure a very serious political backlash.
Among the Galactic Senate, even many members who had been loyal to Palpatine were unable to understand this order to destroy the Knights of Extinction, and their positions began to waver.
Not only that, members of Congress led by Bail Organa began to openly question the legality of Order 66, and took this opportunity to launch a formal impeachment process against Palpatine.
You know, in the parliamentary system of the Galactic Republic, it is a very serious matter for members to impeach the current speaker, and it often results in a dead end.
During the Battle of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, then Queen of the Planet Naboo, launched an impeachment against the then Chancellor Finis Valorum, which led to the rebellion of Valorum and forced her to abdicate.
Step down.
And this time, Bail Organa's impeachment of Palpatine is also very serious. Because it is not only related to the legality of Order 66, but also related to the question of whether the Jedi Order's treason is established!
In other words, if the Jedi Order did not commit treason, then who did?
Once such an issue is introduced, it is equivalent to detonating a nuclear bomb in a closed space!
In the following time, Palpatine and Bail Organa quarreled in the parliament, held several hearings, and formed an investigation team to carefully verify the entire matter.
But even with such a brutal struggle, the grand funeral of the war hero Anakin Skywalker was still held.
Speaker Sheev Palpatine also personally attended the funeral and spoke at the funeral. His first words were, "I always treat Anakin Skywalker as my son..."
After finishing his speech, Palpatine retreated to his seat and watched the funeral process with a sad expression.
Deputy Speaker Mas Ameda whispered in his ear without leaving a trace: "I have already arranged that all the funeral processes will be based on remembering the past. This will definitely arouse Padmé's strong emotional resonance...
