Part 14: HAIL TO OUR KING AND QUEEN!

After many months of repair and restoration, the Kingdom of Courscant was back to its splendor and glory. But even better. The red and golden flags of the Republic flapped proudly in the wind. The village below was bustling and lively. The people were in high spirits. Flower garlands were strung from each home and shop. Small flower boxes hung from each window. The air smelled of delicious food. Children skipped happily throughout the crowd laughing and playing in the warm spring sun. The towns people joked and laughed. They weren't just happy because of sun and laughter, no, they were happy because the true ruler of Courscant was being crowned today. Everyone made their way up to the castle to participate the coronation of Duchess Amidala but also, her marriage to a certain Knight of Peace. (If you guessed correctly, then yes, it's Anakin Skywalker).

" Yes, just head down the hall. There will be others there to help you if you need more assistance." Rex informed with a warm smile as he greeted the villagers from the castle gates and answered their questions. He wore a white linin shirt with a navy-blue vest overtop. He also wore dark beige pants and brown boots. Fives, who wore a similar outfit, but his style was slightly different came into Rex's view with a smile. He patted Rex on the shoulder a few times to signal that he would be taking over the job. Rex's brows furrowed a fraction.

" I got this." Fives simple began. " I need to make up for the time lost wandering around in the woods." He looked at everyone with a happy expression. He looked at the Knights of Peace to the Knights of the Republic. They all talked and joked easily. Their moods light and bright. No one wore armor today. Everyone wore simple clothing. But the clothing all the villagers and knights wore were brightly coloured and new. Unlike the clothes they wore many months before. He bobbed his head as the Dukes and Duchess passed.

Rex only chuckled. " You'll make up for lost time." He then corrected himself, " You already are."

" Nah, I need to. Plus, I need to get away from the Royal Tailor. He's trying to help me pick a suit for a portrait." Five's nose scrunched. " We've been going at it for about a good half an hour. I haven't even gotten to the fun part. The sketching and painting." he spoke the last part with a good amount of sarcasm.

Rex laughed out loud. " Well, if you want to take over, then alright." He patted him on the shoulder before leaving. He then turned around and walked backward, " I'll tell the Royal Tailor that I needed you to do this." He smiled.

He turned his back and heard Fives chuckling softly to himself. Rex gave a small chuckle himself before looking up to a familiar sight.

" What are you chuckling about?" Ahsoka asked smiling. Ahsoka wore a white blouse and a navy-blue vest that reached to her knees. Her dark pants and boots complimented her suit well. The belt was adorned with details that completed the look.

" Fives." Rex simply answered looking back at him giving directions to Knights of 99 who had just arrived. He turned his gaze back to his friend. " You good after that stab?"

" Never been better." Ahsoka answered. " It's like I've never been stabbed. I take it you feel the same way."

Rex only nodded and began to walk through the hall. " It seemed like the battle we had was years ago. Then, when you think about it, it was only almost a year ago."

Ahsoka hummed in understanding. " Yes, it's like we've never fought a battle. It's strange. But it's not unwelcome."

" Have you seen Skywalker? Do you know if he needs me?" Rex suddenly asked. " He spoke to me that he needs me, but I've been busy, and I haven't seen him around."

" I just saw him, he's fine. He's been busy too. He said that it's nothing urgent. I think he just wants you as moral support."

Rex smiled upon hearing that.
