Chapter 26 by Caesar25 Caesar25

What's next?

A settlement

Obi-Wan finds you sitting on a bench with Drek and Ranvi sitting on your sides and hearing out your frustrated words.

Obi-Wan: Lana... I know it must be hard for you too... Your backstory is more complicated than most Jedi's...

Lana: A simplified way to say that...

Obi-Wan: Satine has suffered countless failed **** attempts in the past... Since her childhood, she has always been a target as heir to the throne and now as duchess.

Lana: I know, but she should stop considering me a threat to her life! I haven't done anything wrong here!

Obi-Wan: I know, I sensed it. I have already told her about it. She will learn to trust you... In time...

Lana: She can take her trust and...!

Obi-Wan: Don't finish that line please! All I am saying is that you both have your own personal problems... I will let her know how precarious your situation is. She will come to understand you better, just let her think on it for some time.

Lana: I am not sure I want to be earning her trust anyway... Maybe she is right and I belong to **** Watch, not here...

Ranvi: Don't say that Lana, you are not a terrorist!

Obi-Wan: We can't make the decision for you, but I am trying to do all I can to persuade you from following that path. The duchess cares for her people, she is trying to provide for them. Come, return to the palace and try to reach an agreement with her. Neither of you should be insulting the other for their backgrounds of beliefs. That should suffice for a start.

Lana: Fine, but anytime she brings up my parents and their allegiance, I won't guarantee her safety...

Ranvi: Lana! You shouldn't be threatening the duchess!

Lana: I won't kill her! She will just... have her throne fall on her or something...!

Obi-Wan: Lana, please... Try to be serious about it... Your relationship will only improve if you do all you can on your part... I will convince her to do all she can about it on her part. Are you okay with this?

Lana: Yes master... Sorry for my rage...

Obi-Wan: I am not the one you should be apologising to! Let's head to the palace and reconcile.

You all return to the palace, but before you could talk to the duchess, Obi-Wan asks you to wait outside the throne room until he softens her up.

Lana: I am not so sure I can do this... I might lose control again and start throwing stuff at her if she outrages me...

Ranvi: Lana, don't be like that! Remember your training!

Drek: Yes Lana, focus yourself! You are better than that! Besides, the duchess seems to be a good ruler, she is just a bit hard to get on with and a...

Ranvi: Drek!

Lana: Just say it Drek... as a member of **** Watch...

Drek (trying to lie): Well, I wasn't going to say that... I meant... ehm...

Obi-Wan: Alright kids, come inside.

You enter the room, Satine is sitting on her throne and looks at you with an emotionless face.

Lana: Forgive me duchess for my previous outburst... My words were filled with emotions, I didn't mean to...

Satine: No need to say any more Lana. If somebody has to apologise it is me... I shouldn't have accused you of the attack... I must be getting paranoid lately, forgive me for that.

Lana: No harm meant. Soo... are we going to have a fresh start?

Satine: I will do my best to grant you one, yes.

Obi-Wan: Lana, I know it is a hard decision for you but... I am aware you are in possession of the coordinates to the camp of **** Watch... Should you decide to share it with the duchess, you could considerably increase her trust towards you...

Satine: I am not forcing you to share this information with me... It is up to you. I understand your situation is quite complicated... I will hold no grudge against you, should you decide to shield your family from my men. Just imagine yourself in my situation...

Are you going to give her the location of **** Watch?
