Star Wars: The Holy Empire - Chapter 55

“Statement: I am hurt that you would think so little of me, Master” said HK-47 “Statement: Unlike you meat… a lot of meatbags who can’t control their d.e.s.i.r.e and l.u.s.t, I am a droid. I can perfectly control myself and not kill any meatbags if left alone with one.”

“I was only joking with you HK” I said “I trust you, and I know you wouldn’t kill anyone with out my orders”

“Statement: I know, Master. I was just playing along with your stupid joke.” said HK

‘Alright HK, I need to get ready for the parade.” I said “Go back to training the B-1s”

“Affirmation: Ok, I will go back to train those useless buckets of bolts.” said HK-47

HK-47 exit out of the room, and just as the door closing and HK-47 was walking away, HK-47 said something.

“Statement: My skills and talent are being wasted on these useless buckets of bolts, my skills and talent are meant for killing not training.” sighed HK-47

I ignored HK-47 last comment and opened up my Shop Page, and went into the sub catalog of Clothing’s. I went into the filter setting and checked the Social Armor box because I need something fancy for the parade. After checking the Social Armor box, the huge list of clothing’s shorten by a lot.

I started scrolling through the list of clothes and after 2 minutes of searching, I found two outfits that look good, the Voss Mystic Armor Set and the Ulgo Noble Armor Set from SWTOR. As looking at both of them for a little bit, I decided to buy the Ulgo Noble Armor Set for 200 credits.

As I went into the Ulgo Noble Armor Set page, I found and clicked the customize button right under the pictures that display the armor set. The customize page had a list of options such as color designs, accessories, cape designs and image.

I first customized the armor to have a hood, after that I changed the image on the cape from the House Ulgo’s flag to the Eternal Alliance flag which I think makes the cape and armor a lot cooler looking.

After finishing my customization of the armor, I click the ‘Buy Now’ button and with the customizations, the price increase by 50 credits, so I bought the armor set for 250 credits.

[The ‘Ulgo Noble Armor’s cape no longer bares the Flag of the House Ulgo, and now bares the Flag of the Eternal Alliance Flag. The Armor will be renamed as ‘Eternal Noble Armor’] [Will you accept the change (Y/N)]

After reading the pop up, I clicked the ‘Y’ and the armor became the [Eternal Noble Amor] instead and it instantly transferred into my Space Ring. Now that my new armor was in my Space Ring, I took off all of my clothes including my Revan Mask leaving only my boxers on.

Now that I was only in my boxers, I placed my [Revan Armor] inside my space ring and I walked with the [Revan Mask] in hand over to a golden cheval floor mirror which had a chair right next to it. Once in front of the mirror, I took out the [Eternal Noble Armor] out from my ring and placed it on the chair next to the mirror.

After setting down the [Eternal Noble Armor] down, I started checking out my body and given my body a detailed inspection which I never really had the time to do before since I was always so busy planning my Empire’s foundations and growth, while also protecting Padme and doing my extreme training program to become stronger.

My face looks almost exactly the same except I am now a little bit more handsome and less chubby cheeks. After checking out my face, I moved onto my body which I have been a lot of muscular training with to extreme lengths. Thanks to my muscular training, my body has developed into a body similar to the one Bruce Lee had at the prime of his life.

As I was fully inspecting my body in detail, I heard a knock at the door.

“Sir, I am ordered by the Queen to escort you to the front of the Palace for the award ceremony.” said a Palace Guard

“Coming” I replied “I will be out in 5 minutes”

“Yes, Sir” said the Palace Guard

After getting dressed, I quickly exit my room and found a Palace Guard standing at attention, waiting patiently for me.

“Sir are you ready.” said the Palace Guard

“Yes, let’s go.” I said

I started walking to the front of the palace while the Palace Guard followed behind me.

Soon, after walking for a few minutes, I have arrived at the main entrance into the Palace. Standing at the main entrance was everyone from the Jedi Order to Padme, Palpatine and Captain Panaka. Everyone was here to take part in the Award Ceremony and Celebration.

My eyes soon landed on Padme, who was wearing a beautiful dress, the same one from the ending of the Phantom Menace movie.

The dress Padme was wearing looked amazing. The dress was a luminous pale pink ceremonial silky dress. The silky dress included some kind of banner that hung from her low neckline. Dr.a.p.ed over her shoulders, Padme was wearing a cape decorated with myriad pink silken petals.

Padme who was talking with Governor Bibble soon took notice of my arrival, and stopped talking with Bibble and turns to me. She walks towards me and she was soon in front of me.

“I am glad that the hero who saved my people isn’t late for his own award ceremony.” whispered Padme to me.

“Of course I wouldn’t be late.” I said “I wouldn’t want to miss seeing you in such a beautiful dress for the world. You look just like an angel.”

“Th…Thank you” blushed Padme “I am glad you like it so much.”

After blushing for a few seconds, Padme quickly gain back her cool and focused on me and started eyeing me from top to bottom.

“I also like your outfit” said Padme “It looks very dashing on you, and very manly.”

“Thank you” I said

Before we continue talking, we were soon interrupted.

“Your Majesty” interrupted Governor Bibble “We should get the award ceremony started, the people are waiting to see the hero who saved us from those invasive Trade Federation bastards.”

“You are right, Governor. We shouldn’t keep the people waiting for their hero” said Padme glancing at me with her gorgeous eyes.

Padme turned around to face the groups of people waiting at the Palace Entrance.

“Everyone, let’s get the award ceremony started.” shouted Padme

Soon, everyone was lined up. Padme was in the middle of everyone. The Jedi Order was on Padme’s right, while the Naboo Officials, Governor Bibble and Supreme Chancellor Palapatine was on Padme’s left. I was right next to Padme on her right side.

After everyone was ready, Padme gave a signal to two Palace Guards, who soon rushed and opened the double door entrance. Once the doubled doors were open, everyone started walking out, and soon appearing before everyone was a huge crowd of people at the bottom of the palace steps.

The main street was filled to the brim with people. When the people saw us coming, they all began to cheer. There were children singing and throwing flowers on the steps to the palace. Soon our entire group at the open area that was half way down the steps.

Padme then held up both of her hands to silence the crowd, and soon the crowd was silent.

” My people, our beautiful emerald home is now free from the clutches of the Tyranny and Terror of the Trade Federation. The prison camps have been demolished. The people have returned to their homes.” said Padme “All of this was accomplish without any casualties on our side. None of this wouldn’t be possible, if it wasn’t for our hero, Jerid.”

As soon as Padme said my name, she gestured to me to show the people who I was. The Naboo people began cheering loudly once again.

Padme then again raised her hands to silence the crowd, and silence soon returned. Padme then turns to me and faces me. I also turn and face her as well.

“As a thank you for saving our people from the clutches of Tyranny, Oppression and Terror, I am granting you the title ‘Hero of Naboo’ and awarding you newly created medal, that I had created just for you.” said Padme

A Palace Guard soon appears holding a box, and soon opens it.

Inside the box was a gold five pointed star medal surrounded by a green laurel wreath, and suspended from a gold bar surmounted by some kind of Naboo bird which is attached to a blue ribbon. In the center of the star is the Emblem of Naboo which is a flower-like symbol. Inscribed above the Naboo Emblem using the Futhork alphabet, was the words ‘Star of’ and below the Emblem was the word ‘Naboo’.

“I am awarding you the medal, ‘Star of Naboo’” said Padme “Please lower your head.”

When I heard Padme asking me to lower my head, I lowered my head. Padme then takes the medal from the box and places the ribbon attached to the medal around my neck.

“I thank you deeply from my heart for saving my people and our home.” said Padme

Padme turns towards the crowd, and I followed her lead and also turned to the crowd.

“People of Naboo, I give you our hero and savior.” shouted out Padme

Soon everyone was cheering and clapping, the children began singing once again in celebration. I look over at Padme who noticed my movement and also looks back at me. Padme stares at me and she begins to smile brightly at me. After a few seconds, Padme soon mouths the words ‘I love you’ to me.
