Chapter 4
�I hope your wife is feeling better now,� the Governor told Luke through
the comm.
�Yes, thank you. It was just a little dizziness. She�ll be all right.�
�I hope that she will,� Nyn nodded. �She had already felt sick during
our dance.� then his lips tugged into a smirk. �Should I congratulate you
perhaps?�
�Congratulate? I don�t understand, Governor.� Luke frowned. �What do
you mean?�
�I mean that you might become a father soon.�
�A father?� Luke struggled not to laugh. �No, Governor, I can assure
you that it is not the case.�
�Pity. Your child would be wonderful, did he inherit your wife�s looks
and your powers.�
�Do you think so?�
�Yes, Ambassador. Well, see you at noon when we finally seal the friendship
between Astera and the New Republic.�
�I�ll be there, Governor,� Luke replied with a nod.
�And bring your charming little wife too.�
�I will,� Luke answered. If I can make her get up at all.

* * * * *
When she opened her eyes, Mara realized that she had never felt so terrible
before. �Ouch, that hurts!� she winced, feeling a throbbing pain in her
head.
�How are you?� Luke entered the room with a cup of caf. �No, you don�t
need to tell me. I see. Here, drink it. This time you won�t escape.�
Mara obediently drank the caf. �Sorry for causing you so much trouble,
Luke.�
�Never mind, Mara. I was kind of glad to have a chance to leave that
party. Lilian was getting annoying.�
�Ah, that little girlfriend of yours! I thought you were having a great
time together.�
�She was. I wasn�t. Why did you think I had fun with her?�
�Because you were hugging her so eagerly, that�s why!� she retorted.
�Now wait a minute! You must have been too drunk to see that it was
her
who hugged me, not vice versa!�
�You�d better tell the truth, or...�
�Or?�
�Or I�ll see to it that I become a widow even before we could get divorced.�
�You are jealous!� Luke pointed out with a hint of amusement. She
really feels something for me!
�Jea?!? ?!? You wish! I just won�t let you humiliate me by flirting
with that 19-year-old tramp! I am your wife, like it or not! And as long
as we are officially married, you have to maintain the illusion of being
a faithful husband!�
My gosh, she really does feel something for me!
�Are you listening at all?� Mara demanded.
�Of course I am. I�ll be a good boy, I promise.� He smiled. �You�d better
get dressed, it�s already 10:00, and we�ve got to arrive at the Governor�s
palace by noon.�
�Okay, I�m getting up,� she sighed. �Luke...�
�Yes?� He turned back from the door.
�I don�t really remember last night. Did I tell you something... I mean...
something I shouldn�t have?�
�No. You didn�t.� The man smiled at her. You told me exactly what
you should have told me long ago, he added in thought.

* * * * *
In half an hour they were on their way to the Governor�s palace. During
the flight in the cab Mara was very silent, deeply lost in her thoughts.
Her mind reeled, trying to remember the previous night. She had seen Luke
dancing with Lilian, okay. Then she got drunk, all right. Luke somehow
managed to get her back into the hotel. But what happened after that? Had
she not given herself away? Had she not told him what she felt? She swallowed
the lump that formed in her throat. No, she surely didn�t tell him. Did
she?
Meanwhile, Luke was also absorbed in his own thoughts. Though the night
started terribly with Mara�s getting drunk, it continued wonderfully for
Luke. This was the first night when he didn�t dream about Callista. The
image of the grey-eyed woman in his dreams somehow got replaced by the
picture of a certain redhead. Yes, he smiled, he had dreamed about Mara.
About the woman who loved him... because now he was totally sure that Mara
did love him. She�s just too stubborn to admit it, he thought with
a smile.
�Why are you smiling like that?� Mara asked abruptly, shaking Luke out
of his reverie.
�Ah, I just thought that... we should go out once when get back to Coruscant.�
�You are asking me out?� she wondered.
�Well, let�s say I�d like to make up for last night... I couldn�t even
dance with you.�
�And why do you think I�d like to dance with you?� she asked.
�Dunno. But say yes, okay?� he pleaded.
�I don�t see any reasons to turn you down, farm boy.� She shrugged.
�But don�t expect me to become your girlfriend!�
�Oh, I�d never dare do that!� he laughed.

* * * * *
At noon, Governor Nyn signed the integration treaty then invited Luke
and Mara for a reception held in a hall barely smaller thhe bhe ballroom.
All dignitaries of Astera were present, congratulating the Governor for
the wise decision of joining the New Republic.
Later on Nyn called Mara aside, politely asking her about her condition.
She tried to escape from him, but the Governor was not about to get off
her back. Skywalker will pay for exposing me to the Governor�s charms.
Will I, really? he sent her.
Stop eavesdropping, farm boy!
You were just broadcasting too loudly.
At that very minute a dozen of men dressed in orange ran into the room
yelling �Freedom for Astera! Down with the New Republic!�, and swinging
some kind of weapons they pushed their way through the crowd, to the Governor.
�What are you doing here?� Nyn asked, his voice trembling, his knees
weak.
�We want you to destroy that treaty! Astera must never join the NR!�
one of them, obviously their leader, shouted at the unnerved Governor.
�But please, gentleman, I cannot do that!...� Nyn started to sweat profusely
and loosened his tie to be able to breath again.
�If you don�t do that, we�ll destroy you!�
�Now wait a minute!� Luke interrupted. �No one will destroy anyone.�
�Shut up, you bastard! You are responsible for this whole thing!� another
orange-robed man yelled.
�Let the governor go and leave this place!� Luke demanded, enhancing
his voice with the Force and reaching out to manipulate the attackers�
minds. Suddenly he was shocked to perceive that the Force had no power
on this rebellious mob.
�Trying to use Jedi tricks on us, Ambassador?� The leader sneered. �Sorry
to disappoint you, but you won�t succeed. We have very strong will-power.�
�I see.� Luke nodded and ignited his lightsaber. �But if you don�t get
out of here in this very minute, I can�t guarantee that you�ll stay in
one piece, fellows.�
�Oh, how afraid I am!� the leader laughed then motioned his people to
attack Luke.
Four of the attackers held the governor in place, and the other six
rushed at the Jedi with their weapons made of xinx-ore. Luke parried their
thrustryitrying the slice their swords with his lightsaber, only to realise
why the New Republic wanted xin xinx-ore that much: it was unpenetrable
by any type of laser. Luke had already had such an experience with another
ore called cortosis, but that one was only resistant to lightsabers. This
one couldn�t be destroyed by shots of blasters either, which was soon proved
when the guards of the Governor arrived and started to shoot at the group
of terrorists.
Luke carried on parrying and counter-attacking, while the guards still
didn�t realize that they shn�t n�t try to disarm the enemy by shooting
at their weapons, but they should aim at their bodies. It seemed that the
Asteranian people were experts in one thing only: painting their town pink.
But they had no talent for fighting at all. One could ask: why did the
governor have guards, if they couldn�t protect him? That�s a difficult
question to which there is no answer. Maybe it was just a question of vanity
for the Governor to have his own bodyguards, but up till now they never
needed to fight. Astera was too much of a peaceful planet with peaceful
people, who only occasionally executed some law-breakers.
Since the guards were of no help to Luke at all, he only could count
on himself � at first. Fortunately Mara didn�t want to be left out of such
a great scrap, and soon joined the battle with her blue lightsaber ignited.
The dignitaries of Scella City watched the scene in awe, not daring
to help the two combatants.
One thing is sure, farm boy: when we get back to Coruscant, we will
have to write some files on the Asteranian customs, including the inhabitants�
legendary cowardice! Mara sent Luke while kicking one bad guy in the
stomach and impaling another with her saber.
Agreed, Luke sent back, severing an orange-robed warrior�s arm from
his torso, shoving another into a wall, hanging a third on a chandelier.

Just let�s hope that the Asteranian fashion will not catch on in Corusc
Don�t even bring up that possibility, farm boy! Mara continued
parrying.
Soon there were only three enemies left: two holding Nyn � who was close
to fainting - and their leader facing Luke with a devilish smile. �You
might have disarmed my companions, but you�ll never destroy me!� he shouted
and lunged at Luke with a quick move. Though Luke couldn�t manipulate his
will, he still could sense his thoughts and foresee his next movements.
He easily ducked, kicked the sword out of the man�s hand and tripped his
enemy. �So sure you are?� he asked, pointing his lightsaber�s tip at the
man�s throat.
�Mercy, please!� the warrior beseeched him.
Luke extinguished the blade of his saber. �I�m going to spare your pathetic
life. The governor will see to it that you get your punishment.� Then he
turned to the two men holding Nyn. �Drop your weapons and let him go!�
The two men, being unnerved by the defeat of their leader, obeyed. The
Governor�s guards immediately captured the terrorists.
�Oh, I don�t know how to thank you, Ambassador!� Nyn was full of gratitude.
�And to you, Lady Skywalker!� He turned in Mara�s direction.
�No need to thank at all,� Luke replied. �And sorry for the mess.�
At that moment the defeated warrior jumped up from the floor, pulled
out a hidden knife of xinx-ore from his robe, and lunged at the Jedi who
was standing with his back turned on him. Luke�s sense of alarm flared
and he ignited his saber at once, turning around immediately, but he was
a second late. The attacker�s knife deeply penetrated his chest. He only
had time to run the enemy through with his saber before he collapsed onto
the floor. The last thing he heard was Mara shouting 'Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke!�,
then everything went black.
