In the universe, a Jedi shuttle that had been turned off actively is floating quietly in this darkness.

Anakin did not choose to stay in the place where Tatooin made him sad, hate and leave all kinds of memories that made him painfully recall, nor did he accept the invitation and retention of his stepfather and his family. He took his cosmic shuttle to leave the desert planet that day, and floated on the orbit of the Acanis galaxy region, lying in his driving position and floating aimlessly forward.

He had already left a "seed" of hatred on Tatooine, which was scarce, and as for where the remaining "seeds" were to be placed in the Milky Way, he had not thought about it... because, he is still in deep grief now.

Thinking back to the beginning, when he was rescued by Teacher Kuigang Jin and took him away from Tatooine, he had promised his mother several times in person that he would come back to save her! And now, he is indeed back, and he is back with his head raised and his chest raised as a Jedi. He was originally trying to make the other party happy, but he didn't think so...

Those damn Tuskens, those sand people, and those stupid creatures who are not worthy of being called "people" actually killed his mother whom Anakin was most concerned about, turning the other party into such a cold corpse, and even he, as a son, did not see the last time he was?

perhaps……

The thing that the son wants to support his parents but his parents are not here should be the case with him at this moment?

Anyway, after experiencing that kind of tragic thing, at this moment, in Anakin's view, the Jedi creeds, that is, those:

No passion required, calm the mind.

Do not follow ignorance and obey true knowledge.

Do not indulge in lust, be calm and clear.

Even though there is chaos, tranquility still exists.

He has long since left behind the core essence of the power, and so on.

He doesn't want to think about the bullshit Jedi creeds and the essence of practice, nor does he want to plan his plan that has not yet been officially implemented. He just wants to stay in this place without outsiders and cry heartbrokenly, and just float in the universe and do nothing until he thinks he is no longer so sad!

but……

Although Anakin had planned to stay in the dark deep space that deviated from the main space route for a day or two, wanting to be alone, do nothing, and think about nothing... But some people were not happy to get him to do what he wanted.

‘Bee~!’

Isn't this?

Just as he was lying in his driver's seat, staring at the sky full of stars outside the cockpit, thinking about the busy day of his mother, who had been in a hurry, was still smiling and hugging her young self to watch the free night sky stars in Tatooine... Suddenly, waves of "beeping" communication prompts suddenly sounded, and soon, Obi-Wan's holographic image directly crossed the permission and appeared next to his driver's seat.

‘Anakin, I have an emergency here…’

'etc!'

‘What’s wrong with you? What happened to this…? Is there something wrong with Tatooine?!’

Before Obi-Wan could say something important and urgent, he was scared by the look of Anakin, a junior brother who was hurriedly standing up from the driver's seat, with a wet face and red eyes.

So, without even ignoring the emergency task he almost said just now, he hurriedly asked with some concern.

“…”

"No, nothing, Obi-Wan, you can say something..."

Obviously, the stubborn Anakin was unwilling to recall the sad things again, nor did he want Obi-Wan to know what happened to him, nor did he want the other party to express any opinions because of his cowardly performance just now!

‘You're still saying it's okay if you're like this?’

‘Damn it!’

‘I suddenly felt that it would be better to find someone else to perform that task. Anyway, come back quickly and talk about anything when you come back!’

Obi-Wan looked at Anakin's current appearance and thought about the reason why the other party tried every means to find excuses to "take holiday" for the other party and be able to go to Tatooine. He could basically think about why the other party was like this! However, he thoughtfully did not rush to ask, but sighed, preparing to let the other party return to Coruscant first, return to the Jedi Temple and then find an opportunity to have a good chat with the other party?

"No!"

"Obi-Wan, I'm fine. Now the matter has been resolved. Tell me, what's the matter?"

After taking a deep breath, Anakin quickly recovered and asked coldly with a slightly gloomy face.

‘I don’t believe it…’

‘Anakin, you're like this and you're not going to say it's okay? Forget it, you can't cheat me, unless you can convince me, otherwise I won't hand over that task to you!’

Obi-Wan, who stared at Anakin for a while, felt that the other party's condition was a little wrong, finally shook his head, obviously not believing the other party's words.

“Obi-Wan…”

"Actually, this is what happened..."

Seeing that the other party was still concerned and was reluctant to tell the urgent task that he had just wanted to say. There was no way, Anakin had to slowly tell him about his experience on Tatooine.

However, he only said part of it, just talking about the fact that his mother had passed away when he arrived in Tatooin. He did not say why the other party was killed, nor did he say that he chose to take revenge because of his anger and violated the Jedi Code to kill all the entire Shamin tribe, without leaving any matter for men, women, young and old.

In fact, he may have been buried in his heart forever and will never talk about that to anyone!!

‘Anakin…’

‘I am very sorry for what happened to you…’

Unexpectedly, it was the result he had guessed in the end. Obi-Wan sighed a little lonely, not knowing that he should say something to the other party.

Because he really has not experienced or experienced the tragic things between human relations, Obi-Wan is a standard Jedi selected through textbook selection, and a potential Jedi usually starts training since childhood. It is from that time that all their connections with their previous family life will be cut off... So, unlike Anakin, a Jedi apprentice who only started training at a very young age, Obi-Wan himself does not even know the names of his parents or siblings, and will not ask or query, let alone have the emotions between relatives.

Besides, that kind of emotion is something that the Jedi samurai do not allow, that is why the Jedi samurai cannot get married and have children, are not allowed to abuse the Force, and absolutely cannot form a powerful Jedi family and other bans!

"No! Obi-Wan, it's okay..."

"You don't have to be sorry!"

"I've almost recovered now and there's nothing to worry about. You can say what I need to do? I know, if things are not urgent, you will definitely not think of letting me do it like an apprentice."

Anakin said lightly, because he had already killed all the people who should apologize, and there was no one to live! So, now Anakin would not accept anyone's apology, and there was no need for him.

‘Well, Anakin…’

‘I am very pleased to hear you say this, because now is a time of sadness, and we Jedi should not have that kind of feelings!’

'but……'

‘Since you think you can perform the mission yourself, I happen to have a very urgent mission here. You may be the closest to that planet in all the Jedi outside. So, I think it is very appropriate to hand over this mission to you!’

‘Besides, you just happened to know the person you need to protect, and there is nothing more suitable than this!’

After hesitating for a while, thinking that things were indeed urgent, and I really had no better choice, and the elders had already instructed me... So soon, after seeing Anakin gradually recovering, Obi-Wan thought about it and still compromised, preparing to hand over the important task to Anakin, who is still floating in the Tatooin area.

"I know..."

"Then tell me, what is it? Who needs me to protect?"

Anakin thought with a calm face, and could not think that he knew who he knew nearby was worthy of his Jedi protection... So he prepared to listen to every word he said next to see what kind of task it was.

‘That’s it!’

‘Anakin, the elders of the Jedi Council need you to go to Nab Planet right now to protect Queen Padme Amidala of Nab and escort her safely back to the planet Coruscant!’

‘This is a must-do task, no mistakes are allowed, can you do it?!’

Since the formal order had begun to be issued, Obi-Wan looked calm and changed his relaxed look just now, and instead stared at Anakin's eyes with a cold expression and asked.

“!!”

Queen Nab?!

He was slightly stunned, and then the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank. A beautiful and quiet smile suddenly emerged from Anakin's long-closed memory, a pretty face, a kind and stubborn personality and an angel-like figure...

Yes, it was her... the shadow that became clearer and clearer was Nab's queen, Padme Amidala!

He still remembers her, her name, her expressions and smiles... He still clearly remembers that when he saw Queen Padme Amidala, who pretended to be an ordinary maid, he was deeply attracted by her courage, and at the same time, he also ridiculously thought of marrying her after he grew up?

You know, he was a sad little slave boy on the planet Tatooine at that time, and he dared to have that kind of unrealistic idea...

However, those things are not important at the moment, because now, from what Obi-Wan just said, the beautiful figure that has always existed in his Anakin's mind, the queen of Naboo, was in danger, and someone wanted to harm her, so Obi-Wan had to let herself, who was closest to Naboo, go to reinforce and protect?!

"Why?"

"Obi-Wan, tell me why you asked me to protect Queen Naboo urgently. Shouldn't she stay on Naboo Star now? What kind of danger is she involved in? She has to ask a Jedi to protect her?!"

Anakin was a little anxious.

You know, in his life, one of the two most important women, one of them, except his mother, is the Queen Padme Amidala, who has been hidden well by him in his heart! And now, not long after he had just lost his mother, someone actually wanted to take away the second woman he most cherished from his heart?!

So, involuntarily, Anakin clenched his fists, and at the same time the surging power and anger in his heart began to brew... Of course, he covered up his face well, and did not show too much wrong at all, and just asked with a curious face.

‘Oh ~!’

‘Isn’t it because the Federation of Legends withdraws its troops for no reason? The Jedi Committee has received a reliable news that it is said that the remnants of the trade alliance are unwilling to fail. They are now colluding with the new separatists led by Count Dooku, wanting to take revenge on Naboo Star, Padme Amidala, the queen of Naboo Star!’

‘They even offered a high price to the bounty hunter, wanting her head?’

‘So, Anakin, the situation is very urgent now, you have to get to Nabstar as soon as possible and meet Padme, tell her what you want, and choose a safe route as quickly as possible to escort her back to Coruscant!’

‘Did you hear it clearly?!’

After explaining the reason and requirements of the task, Obi-Wan, who was afraid that the other party would not hear it clearly, confirmed again.

"Yes……"

"I get it, Obi-Wan, I promise you that they won't succeed!"

After nodding and saying that he had fully understood, Anakin quickly sat in his driving position and turned on the instruments that had been turned off by himself before.

‘I hope so, but you should set off as soon as possible and send me a message immediately after arriving at Nabstar and receiving the Queen and ensuring her safety!’

‘Remember to hurry!’

If things weren't really urgent, and sending Jedi warriors from other places or from the planet Coruscant might not have been able to catch up, how could Obi-Wan have let Anakin, a Jedi apprentice who has not yet been in the army and has not grown up, to perform that very important escort mission?

"clear!"

"Okay, Obi-Wan, I'll go now!"

Anakin did not continue to talk to the other party, because at this time, he was more worried about the Queen Nab than anyone else, and about the personal safety of Padme Amidala!

So, after packing up his mood and confirming that there was no problem with the spacecraft, he resolutely interrupted the communication with Obi-Wan and turned on the superluminal engine that had been standing by the cosmic shuttle. Then, after searching from the coordinate list and quickly locking the fixed coordinate of the Nabo star, he disappeared from an unknown orbit in the Arcanis galaxy region and flew towards Nabo with a long-distance superluminal jumping flight.
