General Skywalker woke up to a cold bed. He reached for her body, only to find her side of the bed cold.

Anakin finally opens his eyes to look for Eloise, but found no trace of the girl. The Jedi heard some noise coming from the other room. With a groan, he pulls his pants up to his hips before getting up to look for her.

He slightly smiled when he saw Eloise in the bathroom, trying to braid her hair. She notices him with the corner of her eye.

"You think this looks serious enough? Or Should I braid it all?" She turns around to ask his opinion, fear written all over her features.

Eloise's golden hair had two braids that were also braided together, making her look absolutely breathtaking. The crown looking heavy on her head.

"It looks gorgeous." He chuckles and steps forward, stopping infront of her and kissing her nose softly.

His face falls when she turns around right before he could kiss her on the lips again. She clears her throat, looking down, not daring to meet his eyes. "Griffin and my mother are probably coming here to give me a few tips before my speech. You should go."

"What?" He asks in disbelief, is she going to act as if last night didn't happen?

"Anakin, seriously if they catch you here, my mother will have your head." She says and walks back into the bedroom, gathering all his clothes and handing them to him.

"Could I get dressed at least?" She nods and turns around, Anakin chuckles at her sudden shyness. "You know, I don't think you have to turn around when I change. I mean, you saw everything last night."

Eloise slaps her hand over her face in embarrassment, "Could you dress faster? You are so slow." She muttered the last part to herself, but of course, he heard it.

"Really? I'm slow? Because I remember vaguely how you told me to go slower-"

"You can dress on the hall because of that comment." She says, pushing Anakin towards the door. Anakin chuckles at her red face, "I'll be right there next to you and you'll do amazing."

 

She smiles at the boy before opening her door to make sure no one is around. Anakin takes his leave but not before catching her lips into a kiss. Eloise would lie if she said that the kiss didn't make her act all giggly while dressing up.

"Queen Eloise of Alstoria will present her reasoning for the legalization of witchcraft into the Republic." One of the Senators announced.

Eloise could already hear the whispers of the politicians, she could feel how they were looking down on her. It made the pit in her stomach grew.

With everyone surrounding the girl, she started her speech, it's for my people.

"Thank you all so much for gathering here today." She started, exhaling through her nose, "Long before my reign or even the reign of the first Alstorian King, witchcraft has been banned by the Republic." Eloise looks over to Griffin, he smiles at her and encouraged her to continue.

"It was banned for 'the protection of the Republic'. Yet, no one has ever even thought of the protection of my people."

With more words that she spoke, she could feel that nervous feeling fading away. She was determined to win the favor of the Senators.

"Your people? Your people live in wealth on Alstoria, while so many of the Republican planets are suffering due to the war. A war you have done nothing to help with." A Senator that she did not recognize spoke, interrupting her thoughts.
