𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 as she confidently stood straight and tall before the Jedi council, Anakin and Obi-Wan stood on either sides of the princess.

The trio informed the council of the unknown bounty hunter, who is attempting to kill Padmé.

"Track down this bounty hunter you must, Obi-Wan" Master Yoda ordered.

"Most importantly, find out who he's working for" Mace Windu added.

"What about Senator Amidala?" Obi-Wan asked. "She will still need protecting"

"Handle that, Bella and your padawan will" Yoda answered.

"Bella, I spoke to Senator Agnola. He and Queen Ingrid requested for your visit, so you and Anakin will escort the senator to your home planet of Auradelle. She'll be safer there. And don't use registered transport. Travel as refugees" Master Windu instructed.

Before Bella could agree to the task, Anakin started speaking, "As the leader of the opposition, it will be very difficult to get Senator Amidala to leave the capital"

"Until caught this killer is, our judgment she must respect" Yoda stated.

Mace looked between his former apprentice and Anakin. "You two will go to the senate and ask Chancellor Palpatine to speak with her about this matter"

"I will talk with her" Palpatine agreed to what the two young Jedi had told him. "Senator Amidala will not refuse an executive order. I know her well enough to assure you of that"

"Thank you, Your Excellency" Anakin slightly bowed before him.

Palpatine shifted his attention to Bella and spoke, "And so, I heard you successfully passed your trials. Your ten years of patience and hard work has paid off, Ms. Trueblood"

"You are too kind, Chancellor" Bella forced a smile.

From the moment she and her family met Palpatine more than a decade ago, she noticed something off about him right from the start.

Bella did not feel comfortable or safe in his presence.

There was an eerie feeling of darkness she sensed from him, a feeling not good.
