Anisoka: Royal AU

Meeting Her

"Padme, do you have to get another slave?" He said in an annoyed tone.

"Yes, my last one quit on me," She said as if she didn't kill her last one.

"You mean you killed her."

"Same thing" She looked at him and pointed at a guard "Anyways bring her in."

"Yes, my lady," He said, his voice muffled through his thick metal armor. The guard opened the huge wooden doors to retrieve her new servant. When the door closed with a thud it gave him a minute to think about his marriage. He questioned his marriage every time he heard her degrading voice. He had only married her to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Naboo. 

He heard the squeaks of the humongous door hinges open, a guard walked through with a chain in his hand, and following him was a togruta girl. He took note of the way her orange skin paired beautifully with her blue jumpsuit. She looked up at them in fear, her blue eyes glimmering with curiosity and fear.

"Bow down to your Queen you lazy skug!" The guard yelled before slamming his whip onto her bruised and beaten skin. She immediately went to her knees even though she couldn't understand a word he just said. She felt the velvet carpet underneath her palm. The guard handed Padme her leash and whip, her new owner slammed the whip on her ankles for no reason. Padme grinned from ear to ear.

"You," Padme said to her lady-in-waiting to her left.

"Yes, my lady."

"Prepare a bath for her, I require all my servants to be clean." The woman nodded and hooked Ahsoka's chain from Padme's outstretched hand, they walked away into a large hallway and the throne room was out of sight. The woman dragged Ahsoka through more large rooms and hallways, each filled with golden candlesticks, jewels, expensive chandeliers, and other items that could only be obtained by the wealthy. She passed many signs in a foreign language she was unable to understand. Eventually, the lady-in-waiting pulled her into a small room, not one with fancy jewels or chandeliers, but rather one with a large wooden tub and a rather distinct rotten smell. 

She closely watched the woman who had brought her to the room. She watched her pick up a large pail of water and dump it into the tub. Once she finished hauling that first pail into the tub she set the pail back down and got a second bucket from a shelf, she poured the huge bucket of water into the tub. The tub would still need many more bucketloads of water to fill it up but it was a good start. The lady said something in a language she couldn't understand and left out the door. Ahsoka peaked out the slightly cracked open door and saw a lush garden, as well as the woman walking towards a small well on a hill. Flowers and small wildlife decorated the grassland with natural beauty.

She watched the maiden come back with the two filled pails of water. Again she poured the water into the tub. She repeated this process five more times until the water filled the tub. The woman said something to her but she couldn't understand it. The handmaiden started yelling and pointing at the tub. 

Ahsoka gradually climbed into the small tub. The woman stopped yelling and pulled a sponge off a cluttered shelf. She didn't like that her clothes were now wet but it was better than stripping naked in front of this stranger. The lady ran the soapy sponge over the valley between her montrols, it felt nice but she couldn't shake the feeling of being lost in a foreign land. 

The woman continued cleaning every part of Ahsoka that wasn't covered by her jumpsuit, Ahsoka looked out the window for the first time since she watched the maiden fetch the water for her bath. She noticed it was night, the stars that she could see were shining bright.

Meanwhile in the Royal Quarters (Anakin and Padme's room)

"Oh Ani, that new slave I bought was just beautiful, wasn't she?" She exclaimed proudly as if she was the god who created her.

"Most definitely," He responded blankly.

"So you think she's attractive?"

"I suppose so."

"Do you think she's prettier than me?" Padme asked, batting her eyelashes. He detected a hint of jealousy.

"What's the answer you're looking for?" He decided that if she could pull all the crap she does and still get away with it, then he could mess with her a little bit, but it wasn't like it was a lie, he really did think the new slave was stunning.

"Your honest one," She said innocently. He knew a trap when he saw one, but he already hated her so...what's the harm?

"I do think she's prettier than you," He tried to hold back his laughter at her face turning pale. "I did take account of your shinning personality when making my decision though," he announced sarcastically.

"Ugg, you're just saying that to get on my nerves!" She shouted.

"Oh really? I never thought about that," He said mockingly. Padme blew out the candle with a huff and aggressively pulled the covers over her body. He did the same but much calmer. She was always cranky when she hadn't slept enough, or when she did sleep enough. Right before he went to bed he thought about the new slave and how he should visit her in the morning.

Author notes: The start of this story does not mean the end of my High school book, it just means I want to try a new style of writing on this site. I would like to give credit to a now-deleted Anisoka fic that inspired me, if you are a fanfic reader on this site then you might not know it. It was called What I Never Told You. I believe it was by Avalira, at least I think that's how you spell their name. I'm pretty sure the account has been deleted too, if I'm wrong about this, please correct me. I miss this fic, it was very well written. Also please give suggestions or feedback, I would love to hear it! Also, let me know if there are spelling or grammatical errors.
