about it, the idea constantly staying permanently in the back of my mind.

It was almost as if my subconscious was trying to torture me.

But was it really torture to have that thought play over again and again?

I wasn't sure if I wanted to answer that question.

Padmé looked heavily disgruntled as she spit, "You Jedi are far too reckless. The Queen is not..." I almost kicked my dear sister in the shin as she was about to give up my identity once again, putting words into my mouth for the second time. She was simply being too reckless with our secret. Qui-Gon luckily interrupted her before I ended up breaking her knee into two.

"The Queen trusts my judgement, young handmaiden. As does your sister. Keep to her example and follow my lead." I silently smirked, knowing that as the Queen of Naboo, I trusted both Anakin and Qui-Gon with everything. Qui-Gon was still leaning over my small sister, his tall body overshadowing hers.

Padmé shook her head with annoyance as she looked at me from the corner of her eye, replying, "You assume too much."

Qui-Gon quickly looked over at me after the words exited my sister's lips, a ghost of a smile brushing onto his face.

What in Force was that about?

He couldn't possibly know...

Could he?

A/N: Hello, hello, hello! Chapter Ten is officially out, and that kind of freaks me out. (Holy shit, that kind of rhymes) This chapter, like a few of the others, felt kind of awkward to write and I didn't get the time to really tweak it, but I personally think it came out fine, and yes, I somewhat rushed the ending, but I wanted you guys to get new content.

For today's fun fact; Clarissé's favorite flower is a colorful lily, for their innocence and purity, yet their fun and exciting spirit. Lilies, for future reference and projects in the Star Wars semi-universe I have created, are gonna have a huge impact on these books, just so you know.

The next chapter, hopefully will be out sometime next Friday or weekend. It's the whole podrace and I'm been slowly making sure to avoid writing that whole part for as long as possible. It's really difficult to write action, so bear with me here. Anyway, that's all folks! See you later! Author signing off!
