"I have failed you, Milady."
"Corde...no..." Her double lay mortally wounded from the explosion. Numb, she let Panaka tow her back onto the path of her duty. She shouldn't have returned to Coruscant-- but no, she had to address the Senate. Today. Worlds depended upon this.
She would do her duty, as Corde had done hers. At Palpatine's side, wrapped in robes of state, her face was as blank as if she still wore her Queenly facade.
Endless hours later, only in the shelter of the weeping Motee's arms, could she soften, to let her own tears fall.
