Lillia Val'eaon was happy to be home with her family, but she couldn't help but feel different. She had left normal, but returned scarred and broken. The bruises on her neck were more vibrant than ever, and it was only a matter of time until her kingdom had seen them. She stared out the window, dressed in a simple white gown, with a sleeveless dress jacket that went over it, it was a deep blue color, and lined with gold vines on the shoulders. Her hair was down, wavy and incomplete.
Lillia gulped. The future could only go two ways now, and she needed to pick one that was best for her people. She would leave for Courscant soon, to discuss her safety conditions with the Chancellor.
She only wondered how the bandits got in, there are thousands of knights and guards patrolling the palace and capitol at all times, there had to have been a way that they had seen them. The door busted open, and Lillia jumped slightly, then turned to see her best friend. Isolde hugged her tightly. Lillia hissed, her bruises were still fresh, and very painful. "Sorry." Isolde grinned apologetically. "It is alright." The woman smiled.
"I am so thrilled that you have returned, from the moment you saved my life, all I could think about was yours." Isolde teared up, hugging her best friend much more gentle now. "It was a great sacrifice to get myself out of there, i'm very thankful that Anakin and Obi-Wan were there, along with Yvaine."
Isolde squeezed Lillia's arms. "I'm thankful for them as well." She smiled. A guard knocked on her door. "Come in." Lillia responded. "Your ship waiting for you." He reported. "Thank you." She looked to her friend. "I shall be back soon." Lillia smiled, and then trailed out of her chambers to go to her ship.
She was excited to see Courscant, she's never traveled to any other planet outside of her system, even though Courscant wasn't much, as she was told, it was still exciting to see new places. ⠀⠀⠀. . ﾟ . . ✦ , .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * .. . ⋆✴︎ , * ⠀ ⠀ ,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀. ⠀ ⠀. ˚ ⠀ ⠀ , When the ship landed, Lillia Val'eaon was greeted by Anakin Skywalker outside of the Republic Excutive Building. The Queen looked up in total amazement, she had never seen so many buildings, and she thought of the people who live here, each one having their own story — their own struggles and trials.
"Your Majesty." Anakin bowed his head, hands hidden underneath his cloak as Courscant was rather cold. Lillia shivered, she did not think to bring something warmer. "How are you holding up?" He asked the young woman, looking to her as he walked next to her. "I'm better, although the bruises have not faded quite yet, my handmaidens figured out how to hide three without raising suspicions." The sun hit her eyes, which caused her to squint.
