(Jayden's PoV)
My master and I arrived at the residence of the Queen, along with Qui-gon Jinn and Kenobi. We four got invited by the queen to thank us for helping her escape the imprisonment.
We were able to enter the residence without much interference, as we were cleared beforehand.
"Good Morning, your highness", we four greeted the queen.
"Good day to you all, Jedi", she greeted us, "I invited all four of you here because I wanted to properly thank you for saving me and my maids from the droids and the Trade Federation".
"If not for you, we might have been the prisoners of the Trade Federation, and I can't even imagine the consequences of what could have happened", she sighed.
"We are lucky", my master spoke.
Yeah, as she said, we were indeed lucky.
To them, my dreams, though helpful, were attributed to luck.
The Jedi may appear not to believe in luck.
Obi-Wan even says that there is no such thing as Luck, but that doesn't mean they don't believe that Luck is present.
They attribute Luck as the will of Force, whether it wants to help the person or not. To them, everything that's mysterious is the Force.
Well, it was true. It does appear in various forms, and everyone has multiple ways of using the Force.
The Witches of Dathomir use the Force differently compared to the traditional Jedi and Sith.
Well, speaking of Dathomir, they might make powerful allies, as they were very strong in the Dark Side; they would be terrible allies. They have a history of stabbing allies in the back, at least to my knowledge, which I gained from the Clone Wars stories and other sources.
Sure, there were exceptions, but that happened because of unique circumstances.
Hmm, wait a minute, where would Asajj Ventress be at this point in time?
I know that she was initially trained by an exiled Jedi, who was later killed. I don't remember by whom, but that turned her to the Dark Side. Dooku later found her in some fighting pit, I believe.
Maybe I can find her before Dooku. Not just her, but there are more force-sensitive people than there are in the Order. Most were disqualified as their strength is too low or were not picked up in the first place, as they were never detected.
Though they may not be helpful as sabre-wielders in a fight, I believe that they would have better instincts compared to ordinary people. They would still be helpful in a lot of ways.
I should find them and recruit them.
Also, there are a few worlds that disappeared from Star Wars. I'm not sure if something happened to them or if they just disappeared from the maps due to an anomaly and never reintegrated. It was pretty natural.
Many knew Tython existed, but no one returned there for a long time. Additionally, many planets were not depicted in New Maps, unlike in ancient maps.
An example was shown in Star Wars Rebels, where Thrawn finds the rebel base. If I can find such planets, they can act as bases for secret operations.

'Oh, shit, I tuned out for a minute. Well, it doesn't matter to me anyway. I don't think that she was saying something important'.
I turned my attention back to the queen.
"Leave us for a moment", the Queen ordered the maids and guards, and they complied.
As the three others were speaking with the queen, I left to talk with Anakin. Well, at least that's what I said to my master. Well, they are discussing something important, and I am too young to be involved in such matters.
Kenobi, while he was still a Padawan, that's on paper. He was already close to becoming a Knight. So, he stayed behind.
My goal was to speak with Padmé, the real one, the maid who had left after greeting us. Well, "the queen" ordered her maids to leave.
On the way here, I have decided not to avoid her, especially because she is the Queen and future Senator. Her connections would be useful for me.
Also, I decided that I would seduce her in the future, if that were possible. Well, the force might have made plans for the scenario where the chosen one turned against the light and became a murderer.
Well, they had twins. If one fails, another could take the spot to stop the fallen Chosen One.
Now that I am planning to do something different, I feel that there was no need for that backup plan. Well, if she wants to move towards Anakin, I won't block her, but I will make my own moves too, rather than standing on the side.

"Hey, Aanakin", I greeted Anakin, who was with Jar-Jar Binks and R2-D2 at the time. Padme was already there chatting with Anakin.
'Looks like he is far ahead of me, but from what I knew about his story, he didn't meet her after getting into the temple until just before the clone wars started. Obi-Wan didn't train him from the start. He had to train with the younglings for a while. Later, Obi-Wan officially took him as his Padawan. So, that means, I would have a lot of time to gain an advantage over him".
"Hey, Jayden", Anakin greeted me with a smile.
Well, I helped him with his podracer vehicle and also with C3PO. We spoke the same language. So, becoming friendly with each other was easy.
We spoke for a while. Even the maid "Sabe" mingled with us easily.
Well, I can understand her. She was just a few years older than us, but had to bear the weight of the world on her. The people of Naboo had put their hopes in her, which made her lose her freedom. It was too much for her. So, mingling with someone who had no idea about her actual role should be a freedom for her.
