When Qui-Gon first saw him he was a king. King from the start, king till the end. A king of the over three hundred united planets. The king of the mightest force in the galaxy. The king that most of other heads of the planets tried to get a good impression. The mysterious king that never showed himself. The king that no one knew his identity good enough. But now, Qui-Gon knows him more than anyone in the galaxy.

A jedi master walked in the the council chamber and found Master Yoda and Master Windu waiting for him.

"Have you called me masters?"

Qui-Gon asked.

"Yes, Qui-Gon. We need to do some serious negotiation with a king, and we thought this might be a mission for you to do."

Mace Windu answered as he turned on the hologram device located on the center of the room.

"A negotiation with a king? Isn't that the senator's job?"

Asked Qui-Gon in confusion, but guessing an answer in his mind.

"Correct, you are, Master Qui-Gon. Refuses the responsibility, the senetor."

The green, short master answered as he moved his legs along with the cane he used.

"A responsibility that even a senator cannot bear... What kind of negotiation is this?"

Clearly, Qui-Gon was rather curious than afraid or overwhelmed.

"The negotiantion with The King. The king of the united planets right...here."

Windu pointed at a crowded corner of the map as he spoke.

"THE King? Wh, what.. Why me, masters? Why not your selves or anyone else? It's not like I don't like this mission, it's just that... Why me?"

Truly, Qui-Gon was not blaming the masters for choosing him for the negotiation, he was just wondering what was so special about him.

And the masters were not surprised a tiny but by Qui-Gon's reaction.

"The King is very hard one to negotiate with. Many of other planet's senators were harmed during their meeting with The King. He announced that he was a racist, he was only willing to meet humankind, he never liked a person who was always strict. When paying a visit they must bring gold and flowers. And there are many other unreasonable "rules" that he had set for the people that wishes to see him."

"So... The most matching person that you could find in this planet... Is me?"

"Exactly."

"...Ok masters. I'll just pay him a visit to say hi."

Qui-Gon said in a playful tone of humor.

"Be with you, the force will."

"Force be with you."

"Force be with you all, too."
