《Forbidden Love || Anakin x Reader》Chapter 113: The Council's Asking
Advertisement
"Ah, Y/n, it's good to see you still come around." Master Kenobi caught me off guard.
Occasionally, I like to head back into the Jedi temple and catch a glimpse of the youngling's training. I would start to think if the baby would end up the same. Training to be a Jedi formed a smile on my face.
"I will never leave this place alone." I weakly chuckled. Obi-Wan chuckled back; his blue eyes glimmered with the sunset.
"And I hope you never do," he added. His palm extended out, leading in his follow.
We didn't talk much for a few seconds, making things awkward. In between the silence, I made sure my eyes were nowhere near Obi-Wan's body, but I felt his on mine. Almost like he had a bundle of questions to ask me, but he didn't know how to blurt them out.
"How have your dreams been since our last talk?" and bingo, he finally asked.
It had only been two days since I decided to ask Obi-Wan for advice. I never thought he would ask any more questions. I shouldn't be surprised, Obi-wan has a kind heart, and at times, I wonder if revealing the truth would be beneficial.
"I haven't had any since our last conversation." I took a deep breath.
It was true, but then again, it had only been just two days. Ever since my talk with the Chancellor, it seemed to have dissipated.
"Well, I'm glad I could help." He replied; my head turned to look at the side of his face. He had a smile that seemed genuine. However, his advice wasn't comforting but confusing. In fact, it wasn't him who helped at all, but the Chancellor.
"I owe you and the Chancellor for the advice," I chuckled, hoping he would get the hint, and he did.

His pace slowed down, making mine slow down as well. Until he came to a complete stop.
"Is there a problem?" I asked, my brows furrowing. He had a strange look, as if he was disappointed I went to anyone else.
"The fact of the matter is you are becoming too close to the Chancellor." He replied.
Startled, I didn't know what to say. Becoming too close to the Chancellor? Were they observing my every move? I wasn't in the Order nor a Jedi to them.
I am a Senator; of course, I had to be close to the Chancellor.
"I'm sorry?" I asked for clarification.
"Has the Chancellor ever taken an interest in your Jedi affairs?" He asked; I thought hard about any conversation The Chancellor and I had. The only time he had ever brought up the Jedi was recent.
"I am no longer a Jedi, Master Kenobi." I huffed under my breath.
"Right. However, the Council doesn't like it when he interferes with Jedi affairs." He voiced. I walked a few steps forward, turning around to face him. Still confused about what this had to do with me.
"Y/n, I am on your side. I didn't want to put you in this situation." He added. My head definitely tilted more than it had before.
"What situation?" My eyes peered right onto his blue ones.
A gasp escaped his lips before he answered, "You were once a part of this Order. You were once a Jedi and still hold all knowledge." He seemed hesitant to continue, "The Council wants you to report on all the Chancellor's dealings. They want to know what he's up to. You're a Senator now and have access to all meetings." He finally spitted out.

So the Council finally needs me. After many months, not even my own Master had the courage even to ask.
"They want me to spy on the Chancellor?" I scoffed. He seemed to hint that I didn't like the idea. If they were to ask me months ago, I would have been eager to do so, but not after recent events.
The Chancellor had helped me so dearly in the process of pregnancy; spying on his affairs and dealings seemed unfair.
"That's unethical on my part," I added on.
"We are at war, Y/n." He stated. As if I didn't know what had been happening around me. Yet I didn't understand why the Council would find me the perfect candidate for this situation.
"As part of the Senate, I find this matter pressing." I shook my head, turning my back on Obi-Wan.
"Y/n, you are the closest one to the Chancellor and the only one who was also a part of the Order. You have to entail on both parties." He said in a low tone as other Jedi members walked by us.
"The Chancellor is not a bad man, Obi-Wan. He befriended me. He's watched out for me ever since I became pre-..." my throat became dry, and a slight cough escaped my lips before the following words did. "Ever since I became a Senator," I added. A subtle tone of embarrassment crossed over my forehead.
It was as though I said I had failed in the Jedi rule book.
"That is why you must help us. Y/n, our allegiance is the Senate, not its leader who has managed to stay in office long after his term has expired." He further explained.
"The Senate demanded that he stay longer." I, too, explained, trying my best to back the Chancellor without thought.
"Yes, but use your feelings, Y/n. Something is out of place." He mumbled some more as more Jedi walked past.
I had become irritated at this point, "The only thing out of place is the Council finally asking for help. Not only against the Republic but against a mentor and a friend. That's what's out of place here," I mumbled back but let out the last part in a higher voice.
Obi-Wan's eyes grew a bit bigger; it was unexpected.
I felt the guilt quickly overtake my body, "Why are you asking me this of me?" I asked before he had the chance to reply.
"The council is asking you."

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
