Kacha~~~ A cup made of crystal fell from a pair of white and delicate hands and broke into countless pieces on the ground.
"You...what did you say? Anakin...he...he is dead?" Padmé Amidala's face instantly turned pale, and she could hardly stand.
"Yes, Senator Amidala, just now, Speaker Palpatine has announced the news." Dormé, Padmé Amidala's loyal maid, said with a worried face.
He took out a terminal and projected this message on the holographic projection.
[...The brave and fearless battle hero, the true guardian of the Republic, Anakin Skywalker, was attacked by the evil Separatist Sith Lord and the Death Angel who was also the Governor of the Dawn Planet on the planet Naboo yesterday.
He was seriously injured and died heroically after resuscitation failed.]
[...Anakin Skywalker, the pioneer who resisted the tyranny of the Jedi Order, made outstanding achievements in the battle against the Separatist invasion and made great contributions...]
[The great Chancellor Sheev Palpatine warns everyone that the world of the Force is cruel and dark. In places that no one knows, the struggle with the remnants of the Jedi Order, Count Dooku, and the Death Angels is very cruel.
, no less than a fleet battle on the frontal battlefield. According to the Speaker, the Force should not be something that people who yearn for peace should be exposed to...]
"Why... what happened on the planet Naboo?" Padmé Amidala covered her forehead feebly, "What I want to see is not this fake press release, I need first-hand knowledge.
intelligence!"
"There is very little information. We only know that our secret manor on the planet Naboo has been attacked. Even though we arranged hundreds of people to guard the manor, it has no effect." Dome lowered his head and said, "I don't even know.
Which, uh, how did Darth Malsayin find the manor... Because the location of the manor is strictly kept secret, very few people know about it."
Having said this, Domei patted his chest again and said with some fear: "The governor of Dawn Planet, Tang Xiao, we should have met several times in the parliament before the war broke out. At that time, we just thought that this governor was so young. We didn't expect him.
It's actually the Sith Lord Death Angel! What happened to this galaxy? How many evil and powerful people are lurking around us?"
Padmé Amidala didn't speak. She forced herself to stand up, but her feet gave way and she almost fell. Dome held her up.
"No, I'm going to the Speaker's office, you don't have to come over." Padmé Amidala said and walked out of her office quickly.
Going straight to the Speaker's office, Padmé rushed in. At this moment, she could not see any physical weakness at all. She roared at Palpatine like an angry lioness: "It's you!
You murdered Anakin! You tricked him! Used him to wipe out the Jedi Order! And now you silenced him!
"
"This is a very serious accusation in front of the current Speaker, Senator Amidala." Palpatine said with a smile, "But I can understand your current mood, especially considering that you and Anakin Sky
That...well, unique relationship between travelers. Therefore, this should be a private conversation, and there will be no official records."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, all the monitors in the office were turned off, and the secretary robot on the side also entered a shutdown state.
Then, he said very seriously: "I want to save Anakin Skywalker's life, believe me, Senator Amidala, more than anyone else. As a politician, I might as well use your best understanding
Let’s explain it in this way - Anakin Skywalker, he would rather destroy the Jedi Order than stand firmly on my side. Why should I silence such a person?"
"You are just an evil Sith Lord! There is no difference between you and the Dead Angels! The attack on the Jedi is not over yet! Don't think that the Council will just let it go!" Padmé Amidala slapped her hands on her hand.
On the table in front of Elpatin, "The same is true about Anakin! I will get to the bottom of it! I swear!"
"No, I think you have gone into a misunderstanding, Senator Amidala. I can tell you how this matter is viewed within the scope of my intelligence." Palpatine said, "You know why yesterday
Didn’t I participate in that hearing? Even if you opponents could proudly accuse me of non-existent crimes at the meeting, I didn’t participate. Because at that time, I went to the planet Naboo urgently.”
Padmé Amidala's expression changed.
"There is a connection with the Force between Anakin and I. There is no need to deny this. I feel that his Force is experiencing very strong fluctuations, so strong that... it is heartbreaking." Palpatine slowly said
Said, "So I put down everything in my hands and went to the planet Naboo, but when I arrived, everything was already too late."
He looked at Padmé, who was pale, and then said: "Anakin fell to the ground and was no longer human. The angel of death was standing next to him. He held an old woman hostage, who should be Anakin's mother. Look.
After arriving at me, the Death Angel judged that the defense forces were trying to surround him, so he killed Anakin's mother and ran away without fighting me. But in fact, if he really fought me despite being surrounded,
, I, who was just injured by Master Yoda, may not be an opponent at all. So, the matter is relatively clear..."
Palpatine shook his head, "The Angel captured Anakin's mother and tried to force him to submit, but Anakin refused. In anger, the Angel killed Anakin. That's actually what happened.
Simple... and I also heard from the Angel of Death that he 'resurrected' Anakin's mother... I don't know what happened between him and Anakin, but this should also be the reason why he can accurately find Anakin's mother.
Maybe it's because of the location. After all...for the Angel of Death who has mastered death, he still has the means to turn people into walking corpses and pretend to be 'resurrected'."
"Where is Anakin's body?" Padmé said with sadness on her face.
"His mother's body is relatively intact and is currently in the crystal coffin. There are also two severely damaged robots. I can hand them over to you if you want. The memory of the robots also records what happened at that time. You can
Go check it out... As for Anakin..." Palpatine shook his head, "His body was almost completely destroyed - this is the literal meaning. If he died in the hands of the Angel of Death, if he wanted to leave his whole body, it would be almost impossible.
