The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

306. Queen Amidala

The middle ring of the galaxy, the planet Naboo, and the capital Sid.

On a beautiful planet, a beautiful city, a city now covered by a rain of flowers.

Colorful flags fluttered in the city, drums and music sang together, and countless fireworks reflected the sky colorfully.

The people took to the streets spontaneously and sprinkled flower petals on the central street of Sid City. They cheered loudly, showed their faces and laughed, and shouted the same name together——

Queen Amidala!

On the Central Avenue, a long parade caravan passed by slowly. At the front of the caravan, a beautiful girl like a budding flower was standing on the roof of the car, surrounded by flowers, showing her beauty and innocence. Smile and wave to the people around you.

Since the former king of Naboo, Ars Veruna, announced his resignation and disappearance, after seven months of preparations and elections, the planet Naboo has finally confirmed its new king, or...the queen.

Padmé Nabelle!

The respected elders personally painted Padmé Nabeli with heavy makeup representing the supreme authority, and then put a gorgeous crown on her head, announcing the birth of the new king of the planet Naboo!

This talented girl who is only 14 years old has an unparalleled reputation in the hearts of the people of the planet Naboo. She studied law from an early age, entered the Sheed City Legislature at the age of 8, and graduated with the first grade three years later and became a full-fledged legislator.

Moreover, she has been carrying out various charitable activities and refugee relief activities all year round, and has traveled to every impoverished area on the planet Naboo for a long time, bringing support and warmth to the poor who are starved of food due to the fatuous rule of King Veruna.

Padmé has been determined to be in politics since she was a child, because she believes that only by engaging in politics can she help more people. For this reason, she did not hesitate to part ways with her second lover and an artist she loved deeply, Ian Lago [Note 1].

The planet Naboo adopts a system of electing monarchs, so at the age of 13, shortly before King Ars-Veruna conspired to assassinate Hego-Damasque II, the girl of the Nabeli family was elected The princess, one of the candidates for the king, was named Amidala.

And Padmé Nabeli has been Princess Amidala since that day.

After King Als-Veruna left a mess and announced his resignation, some people hope that Padmé Nabeli will stand up to elect the king and lead the planet Naboo to move forward.

Padmé Nabeli originally thought that his qualifications were still young, and he didn't want to elect the king now. But then Naboo's councilor Sheev Palpatine also expressed his support for Padmé, and often attended her charity events to raise money for her poverty alleviation fund.

And Palpatine is also implying that only she can save the planet Naboo in dire straits, which made Padmé finally make up her mind.

There were no surprises in the result of the election. Padmé Nabeli, who won the support of both civilians and nobles, easily defeated all competitors and was elected Queen of Planet Naboo.

After serving as queen, her title also continued, called Queen Amidala.

So her name should be Padmé-Nabelli, and her title is Queen Amidala. These two are the official titles, and Padmé-Amidala is just a common name that has been established by convention.

After being elected queen, Padmé immediately began to fulfill her promise. She declared that she wanted to return power to the people, and Ars-Veruna's previous perverse actions also proved that a life-long king may bring disastrous results to the planet Naboo. Limited to 5 years, with a maximum of one consecutive term.

And because Queen Amidala is the second youngest king in the history of the planet Naboo, her cabinet has arranged many means for her safety. Surrounding Queen Amidala is a troupe of maids, friends who grew up with Padmé Nabeli and were trained to be her bodyguards, spies, and even the mistresses of her political enemies.

And Padmé herself was also hidden in the group of maids, appearing as an ordinary maid, but the one with heavy makeup, a crown on her head and a fancy dress was her substitute—a maid named Sabey.

Sometimes, no matter how kind and noble a person is, once it comes to the level of kingship, they will be stained with black to some extent.

After that, facing the situation of internal and external troubles, Queen Amidala began to take difficult steps step by step. She first sent envoys to the Gungans, hoping to restore relations with them, and promised not to over-exploit plasma mines in the future to protect the living environment of the Gungans.

Then she started negotiating with the Trade Federation, and kept her stance low, hoping that the Trade Federation could reconsider the unequal treaty signed with King Ars-Veruna.

Queen Amidala told the Governor of the Trade Federation, Newt Gunray, that if the previous unequal treaty continues, the administrative foundation of the planet Naboo will be severely hit, and there may even be a conflict between humans and Gungans. war. And because the population of the Gungans living in water on the planet Naboo is more than twice that of the human population, close to 3 billion, so once the war starts, it will be out of control.

If this step is reached, the Trade Federation itself will not be able to guarantee the production of plasma mines.

And if the treaty can be re-signed, Planet Naboo is willing to carry out more cooperation with the trade alliance on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, so as to make the bilateral relationship closer.

But at the negotiation venue, although Sabey, who was pretending to be Queen Amidala, spoke earnestly and earnestly according to her own instructions, Padmé, who was standing in the crowd as a maid, was desperate to see Newt sitting opposite him. - Gunley's expression became colder and colder.

The trade alliance has no intention of negotiating at all.

After the first day of negotiations ended, Newt Gunley just dropped a sentence, saying that the interests of the Trade Federation on the planet Naboo should not be tarnished in any way. Then he walked away and set off to leave, flying directly to the Golden Nice Shipyard, laughing and laughing with Gross Shelby, the representative of the Fourth Group, and looked excitedly at the analyzed battlecruiser data.

Although Lun Harkle, who stayed behind to negotiate on behalf of the Trade Union, was cowardly and did not dare to throw harsh words like Newt Gunley, his position was still extremely firm——

If Planet Naboo can't come up with a new clause that makes the trade union's income no less than the current unequal treaty, then everything will be business as usual.
