“I don’t like all this secrecy captain.How can we be trusted if we are so deceptive?”she remarked as they jumped onto the royal Naboo cruiser.“Your highness, it is my duty to protect you at all costs.That sometimes means taking other risks for the mission”,he replied, but the look on her face suggested she didn’t appreciate it.
“I am well aware of your duties and mine but I still do not believe that many will trust us if they do not know the whole truth.The Jedi must know. Sabé can not go on pretending forever. Eventually, they will find out, and they will no doubt be disappointed. I do not wish to be the cause of that.”Noting her concern Captain Panaka reasoned…“How about I be the cause for that my lady?I admit they will find out, but for now, I do not believe that two Jedi’s disappointment should be the cause for compromising your security”
“Sometimes I wonder if I truly can disobey you,Captain.”
“You are the Queen Padmé , the final decision is yours, this is simply advice.”
“And I welcome it, but I must retire.”Smiling, they parted ways and she headed for her quarters.She was only now beginning to realise the complications and restrictions of the throne but she was a fast learner, so she thought she would be ok.
“Eirtaé !”,she called as she entered the room…”It’s good to see you.Since we’re going to Coruscant with the Jedi I need you to prepare yourselves for anything.The odds are against us but we must not loose hope.The senate may still side with us.Senator palatine is a wise man, and I trust nobody more than him, to get us out of this. Sabé , I am deeply sorry that I must continue to use you as my decoy, but Captain Panaka believes it is imperative for our safety.I must thank each of you, for your courage and service . We will free Naboo, I promise you ”
“Do not worry…we are brave your highness”
