Duties

I'm sorry I hadn't posted in such a long time but I'm in midterms and I... I have to study, forgive me and I hope you like this chapter, I've also uploaded another chapter to my story COLLISION****

"This time, I have to agree with them Rey. It'll be of no use for you to turn the people against you" Ben said reasoning with her.

"But it's not like you're not going to rule with me anyway, like they're not going to see you. What's the point of lying?" Rey wanted to act without thinking of how this might affect her, and in a way Ben understood. She'd never been in a position like this.

"Just... for the first months, the people are still not very fond of me and it would only put you in danger. But I'll be standing there with you." He rubbed her back.

"Well... I guess, we can wait a few months" she sighed.

Everything was ready for her to go outside and begin the transmision of her "coronation".

"I'm nervous" she admited.

"Today... may be the easiest thing, so try to enjoy it and relax. It won't even last that long. You'll be okay, Rey" Ben gently said.

She had decided to stay in Hakuji and make all the official affairs here, Naboo had to be clear, just in case she and Ben planned to ever go and relax there.

"Are you ready?" Poe asked Rey.

"Nope" she held her breath.

"She's ready!" Poe shouted to everyone so they started recording.

Rey murmured under her breath some not very kind words and decided to compose herself.

There was a long trail from the tents to an improviced podium, in front of many many people who had come from all the galaxy to witness this day.

Even the young kids, the ones who didn't find their families were there for her, Leda waved at her.

This time she would have to do all the talking. Ben had helped her rehearse a speech and took quick breaths in and out to calm down.

The moment people saw her approaching the podium they started cheering, there were so many... from so many places... from so many species...

"Focus" Ben's voice said in her mind and her eyes instinctively went to him, standing with Kaydel just behind the kids.

She nodded towards him, calming down a little.

"Welcome everyone, thanks for traveling all the way here, and for all the support you have shown to me" She started and everyone cheered. She awkwardly reached for the microphone's base.

"I'm honored to be elected as the new Leader and the trust you are giving me" Ben encouraged her to continue.

Rey didn't grow up for this, she didn't know how to do it, but she knew how to be heard. So instead of staying behind the podium and using complicated words that she might not even understand, she decided to be real. Straighforward and open, and with luck, the people would see her clearer.

"I wouldn't be able to do this, help all the galaxy if it weren't for the help of the kings and queens of each planet. They'll report to me everything, the progress, their needs, their strategies and together we will discuss what's better and how can all of you be at peace again." Rey imagined that the holo transmiting everything was following her, so she walked closer to the crowd, not minding the "rules".
