The emerald King - The Jedi Temple (Patreon)

Harold Potter, The senate, Coruscant

"ORDER IN THE ROOM" roared Valorum, after a five-hour session, in which, to Harold's no surprise, they came to absolutely nothing

These morons were worse off than the Wizengamot, and that was hard enough, in Harry's opinion

Soon after Padme made her case, showing her desire for the senate to force the federation of commerce to end the occupation of Naboo, the young and gullible queen realized that things would not be so easy

Valorum continues

"The queen's words are a serious accusation, Jedi Master Qui-Gon's report indicates that indeed a sizable federation fleet is in Naboo's orbit at this time."

Whispers began to flood the senate, most of them condemning the actions of the Neimodians

However, to the Queen's disappointment and Harry's resignation, none seemed willing to act on it

At that moment, the capsule of the federation of commerce, without the authorization of the chancellor, began to levitate, taking the floor without being granted, interrupting and insulting both the senate and his beloved queen

Something that, obviously, Harry would not allow

"ALL THESE ARE NONSENSICAL WORDS, THE QUEEN'S FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST OUR HONEST PEOPLE ARE A GRAVE INSULT, SHE HAS NO PROOF OF HER ABSURD HISTORY AND..." however, in the midst of the stupidity she was spitting, the platform where he was began to throw sparks, at the same time that the anti-gravity mechanism began to fail,  causing the pod to return to its place and release a small cloud of smoke

All the senators present looked at the technical flaw in surprise, while both Padme and Palpatine looked at King Harold with suspicion, which he responded by simply raising an eyebrow, knowing full well that no one could prove anything

A second later, Harry leaned into Padme's ear and whispered

"I had an interesting conversation with one of your droids, say you have proof and I will take care of destroying the senator's lies," promised the young king

Padme looked at Harold in silence, understanding very well that it would be a great show of confidence, without saying anything, the queen just nodded and returned her gaze to the chancellor

"With regard to Senator Dod's desperate lies, it is my pleasure to inform you that we are indeed in possession of irrefutable proof of the deplorable actions of the federation on Naboo," cried the queen firmly, in front of all the senators

A second later, Harry transmitted the data he had obtained from R2 directly to the Pod's terminal, and consequently, showing the entire experience of the small droid throughout the invasion

The main one was a video, showing how the rest of Naboo's droids observed the federation's dropships, which were known throughout the galaxy

The next one showed how the engineers and pilots of Theed were subdued and imprisoned, even a couple were executed, for the simple amusement of the leader of the invasion, who, to Padme's pleasure, appeared on camera

The Viceroy, Nute Gunray

Faced with irrefutable proof, chaos reigned within the senate, some were really indifferent, such as the ambassador of Geonosis, however, the worlds ruled by humans and non-insectoid species, showed their disapproval fiercely 

However, to Padme's frustration and Harry's amusement, no one did anything, no response force was organized to the invasion, the republic had no such thing as an army of its own, and the stupid session, which lasted more than seven hours, was completely useless

Just like Harold said it would happen

Upon returning to the office, Senator Palpatine tried to speak to the queen

"I'm afraid that, in the current situation, we should start to consider that Chancellor Valorum is not capable of exercising his authority over the republic, we should start considering a replacement”

For a moment, Padme seemed to consider the words, at least until Harry simply snorted at the old man's words and replied

"The problem is not your chancellor, the problem is your inefficient government, Valorum was your only ally in that room, and although you managed to empathize with many of the systems, the harsh reality is that none are important enough to organize a military incursion, Naboo, in their eyes, is not worth it."

Padme nodded softly at Harold's words

"I will not leave my people suffering, if the republic does not fulfill its obligation to my people, I will do it myself."

"Let's proceed with the plan Harry, you have my full support, my people and my planet, if you help me get rid of the federation, I will be eternally grateful, and you will win the loyalty and eternal gratitude of Naboo"

Harold simply nodded, words were no needed, after all, he and Padme had planned throughout the journey from Gaia Prime to Coruscant on the plan of action, in case the diplomatic route failed

Besides, it was much better not to speak in front of the senator, there was something about him that Harold didn't like

He would take it upon himself to inform Padme to be careful with him

"I'll take care of the preparations, now I have to go to the Jedi temple, will you join me?" asked the king

Padme hesitated for a moment, until she simply shook her head

"No, the session left me exhausted and I need to rest, we will leave tomorrow?"

Harold nodded and replied

"Yes, I'll have everything ready, don't worry, you're still in danger, I'll leave an escort with you and I'll take care of talking to Sabe before I go, to be careful until I get back."

Padme nodded, at the same time as she sent the codes of her suite to Harold

"That's the address, as soon as you finish your business, Sabe and I'll be waiting for you."

Harold nodded with a smile, took Padme's hand, gave her a soft and elegant kiss and proceeded to leave the queen's office, bidding farewell to Shev Palpatine with a nod of his head, but being able to notice the gleam of triumph in the old man's eyes, at the notion of being alone with Padme

Another alarm signal

The old man was dangerous, and it was evident that he was hiding something

Leaving the office, the rest of Padme's maids were resting on comfortable sofas, Sabe, seeing him, stood up and walked over

"I'll go to the temple for some business; I'll go back to Padme's suite in the evening."

The beautiful woman nodded, understanding the words of her king and lover

“And Sabé, keep an eye on Palpatine, hide something”

Surprise flooded the face of the beautiful woman, who, after a moment replied

"I'll do it, don't worry"

Harold nodded, took Saba's face and gave her a soft kiss on the lips, causing the maid to sigh

And with that dramatic scene, Harold left the room, intending to fly to the Jedi temple

He had a stubborn old council to confront, it seemed

Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Temple, Coruscant

The young Padawan looked at resignation and disbelief, accompanied by a sea of initiates and other Padawans, how a twenty-year-old human man, landed on one of the platforms of the temple

Normally, that would not be something out of the ordinary, the temple received many visitors every day, speeders and ships landed and took off every day on a regular basis

What was different this time? That King Harold had flown…on his own

Straight to the temple

Upon landing, Obi-Wan made a bow of respect, after all, the king was a kind of a master for Obi-Wan

Odd, considering he and Harold were the same age

"King Harold, welcome to the Jedi temple," the young Padawan spoke

Harold, completely oblivious to all protocol, simply grabbed Obi-Wan's shoulder and replied

"I must admit, at least from the outside, it's impressive, come on, your masters are waiting and I'm curious about what they have to say."

Obi-Wan simply nodded and proceeded to guide the king into the council room

Throughout the tour, Obi-Wan explained the paintings, artwork, and all the rich history of the temple, however, Obi-Wan looked on curiously as the king didn't seem impressed

“The history is rich, but the temple simply feels... empty, soulless, your are users of the Force, possess a connection to the Lady that the rest of the galaxy does not possess, and yet this temple feels cold, dead.”

Before the visit to the sanctuary station, Obi-Wan would have thought that the king was exaggerating, however, after the sensations of the White Palace, where the force resonated with every wall, corridor and statue, he was able to perfectly understand what the king was referring to

"We've arrived," Obi-Wan said

Harold nodded

"Thanks for the tour, Obi-Wan" and without waiting for an answer, Harold entered the room, leaving Obi-Wan alone with his thoughts in the hallway

well, not really

“An interesting character, completely contrary to everything the order professes, the meeting will be... explosive" spoke a female voice behind him, a familiar voice he had missed

Siri Tachi, as beautiful as he remembered her, looked at him with some embarrassment on her face

"I know we had agreed to avoid each other for a while, but I found out that you were in the temple and well, I wanted to see how you were, there are rumors of a Sith acolyte and..." the young woman's babbling stopped suddenly, at the same moment that Obi-Wan approached, took Ciri's face and proceeded to do what she had wanted for so long,  what he had been repressing for years

Kissing the beautiful and perfect young woman

Ciri's resistance was non-existent, returning the kiss instantly, as she stroked Obi-Wan's hair with her hands, at the same time that the force resonated within both of them, happy and victorious, as never before

Obi-Wan and Ciri got lost for the rest of the day in one of the temple's thousands of rooms, completely ignorant of everything that was going on around them, both drunk on the sensations they had suppressed all their lives

And loving every second of it

Harold Potter, Jedi Council, Coruscant

From the moment he entered the room, Harry knew that most of those present were old-fashioned and arrogant old men

He would really enjoy dealing with them, like the good old times

Harry ignored everyone present and approached Qui-Gon, whom he greeted warmly

“Qui-Gon, good to see you!”

The Jedi master sighed, but reached out with the same excitement, understanding the young king's intention very well

Harold apparently had a natural gift for getting on people's nerves

"Welcome to you, King Harold," a tiny green-skinned being, quite old, who looked at the interaction with amusement, unlike his colleagues, who saw it as disrespectful

At the respectful words, Harold looked at the master, bowed his head respectfully, and replied

"Thank you, I must say that your home is stunning, though too cold for my taste."

At those words, several masters looked at each other, even one of them, an adult Togruta, with crimson skin and large lekkus replied

"Is the temperature not to your liking? The temple is adapted for all warm-blooded species, but if you wish we can adjust it a little," the woman offered with gentleness and confusion

Harold and the diminutive being laughed without mockery at the gentle words

“Of the climate, the king does not speak, cold in force, our home is”

Harold looked at the tiny being, now with more respect, of all those present, he was the most powerful magically, something common, considering that, the older, the more experience in magic you got

"Qui-Gon insisted as a favor to attend a meeting with you, however, he did not reveal to me the nature of the meeting," Harold replied sincerely

“Understandable, distrust is, the best reputation in the outer rim, the order does not have”

The little being was right, the Jedi were seen as child thieves, taking Force-sensitive children and taking them away from their families, some even against the wishes of the parents

Something unheard of for Harold

However, he would reserve his opinion until dealing with more of them, Qui-Gon was ok, and apparently the old green elf was also friendly

Something he couldn't say for the rest of the masters

"The Sith technique you used, you can't use it again or you'll face the consequences," said the bald man that he had transformed into a chihuahua

Harold's relaxed posture disappeared, giving way to the king of Gaia Prime, with a firm posture and icy eyes, he looked at the arrogant man

"Bold of you, to think you have the authority to give me orders, and also stupid, considering that the last person who threatened me was called Jabba, do you know what happened to him?"

Faced with the clear threat, the bald man stood up, really annoyed by the challenge to his authority, at the same time that he summoned his lightsaber to his hand, causing Harold to respond in kind, surprising and overwhelming the Jedi present

 The force roared, light and dark in complete harmony, as Harold's armor began to assemble itself into his body, and his trusty spear appeared, placing itself in battle stance, pointing the blade directly at the arrogant Jedi, which shone with a powerful emerald glow

Seeing that the situation was escalating rapidly, the little green being and Qui-Gon intervened

"You must stop, a guest, the king is, shameful to the order, your actions are”

The bald master, even with a frown, simply deactivated the lightsaber, at the same time relaxing his posture

In response, Harold did the same, his armor detached from his body, returning to its place, at the same time that the spear disappeared again.

Simple actions for Harold, but they greatly surprised all the masters

"Your mastering in the force, amazing is" congratulated the little master, at the same time that Master Togruta continued

"Indeed, your armor and your spear, their mere presence sharpens my senses, like beacons in the force, it is really impressive, to use force to create, something really never seen before."

On the other hand, another of the masters blurted out

"Your control over your emotions is weak, your dark techniques and your perverse use of force make you a threat to the order." With that really annoying tone, there was the tone of superiority and arrogance that the galaxy detested from the order

Harold simply snorted contemptuously, looking at the reptilian master

"I care little about your pathetic and weak opinion, if you really want to make a difference in the galaxy, you won't sit in this luxurious temple, injustice reigns in the outer rim, and coincidentally, I don't see any Jedi in those directions."

At that moment, the old master struck his cane on the floor of the temple, generating a powerful noise that was transmitted throughout the room, it was evident that he had used force

"Enough, the king, a guest is, behave you must, or expelled from the meeting will be," threatened the clearly annoying master

At the little being's command, everyone obeyed and was silent, and the old man, looking at Harold, spoke

"Master Yoda, my name is, interested in your history and your people, I am”

Harold nodded politely, and replied

"There's not much to tell, I grew up on a distant planet, we always call magic what you call the force, one day, one of my political rivals set a trap for me using a magical ritual, to send me away from the planet, a second later, I woke up on the ancient Tatooine, now Gaia Prime" he replied sincerely

Whispers were heard all over the place, at the same time as the diminutive master asked again

“Curious, your story is, the nature of this ritual, do you know it?”

Harold shook his head and replied

“No, the only thing I know is that it came from a book called "the secrets of the Rakata" but I don't know more about it”

To the king's surprise, everyone presents gasped suddenly, and the diminutive master continued

“The Rakata, famous in the galaxy were, cruel and sadistic, the first users of the dark side were, extinct, luckily they are”

Harry simply nodded, surprised by those words, however, that gave him a clue, if there was any information about the Rakata, then he had a chance of finding his home

Seeing his interest, the diminutive master leaned over his chair and offered

"Assistance, we will offer, to an agreement, we can reach," offered the astute master

And Harry, completely serious, looked at the Jedi and spoke

“I'm listening”

Yoda simply smiled, he had accomplished the most complicated part of the meeting, getting the attention of King Harold

“Knowledge for knowledge”

And Harold got it, but was it worth trading his edge in the galaxy for information about a lost empire?

The king of Gaia Prime was not so sure, the meeting was just beginning

And it would be more interesting than the king expected

Apparently, he would be late to his queen's chambers, after all
