So, this is book two, don't worry. You don't need to read any prequels. I'm German so English isn't my first language. Don't hate me for spelling or grammar.

Anyway, I hope you have fun and yes, this story is centered around Ahsoka.

Alexander

Alexander jumped out of the former Republic gunship into the knee deep snow that covered the lawn in front of his brother's palace. Instead of taking up residence in the royal Palace in Aldera he resided here, in a Palace in the far north of Alderaan that the Organas as had given him.

The castle throned over a small village with about two thousand inhabitants on a mountain that overlooked a fjord.

The village was now ruled and owned by Maxwell. While not being as large or grand as Castle Bay, Maxwell's residence was still beautiful. Especially at this time of the year, the castle looked like a winter dream.

Boss landed next to his king and signaled the pilots of the midnight blue gunship to wait for them.

Looking at the castle Alex couldn't suppress a smile. Nothing hinted at the presence of a Lord of Admirals in this place. The castle looked peaceful and serene. No security forces were visible, no guns or tanks were in sight. Still, Alex knew he was currently in the scope of a dozen snipers.

Well hidden in the woods surrounding the village and castle, heavy anti-aircraft guns and a heavy duty shield generator were standing ready. And above all, there was Maxwell himself, the Lord of Admirals and former Jedi Battle master who was more than capable to protect himself from just about any threat.

Snow crunched under their boots as the two men walked over the lawn. Boss knocked on the heavy wooden double doors of the gate and they waited while snow gently began to fall.

After quite some time the door finally opened revealing Shenna. The young blue-skinned Twi'lek girl was still wearing her school uniform and had apparently just returned home from school.

Much to Shenna's annoyance her older sister had signed her up at the local school the moment they moved in and Maxwell was enforcing Jallia's ruling. Jallia herself was studying at a university in the capital. However, Alex had heard that Shenna was also receiving private flying lessons in her free hours.

"Ahm hi your Majesty," Shenna greeted the king stiffly. Alex took note of the fact that she didn't make any sort of curtsy. She still hadn't gotten over the fact that he had originally enslaved her. Of course, the king did feel a bit bad about that. However, those regrettable circumstances had led to a close relationship with the Hutt clans and the pirate leader Hondo.

"Hello, Shenna. I am here to speak to my brother and my wife." Shenna sighed.

"Sure, they are in the backyard fencing." She opened the door even further and let the two men in.

"Can you find them yourself? I need to do homework."

"We'll find them," the king assured her. Shenna ran through the brightly lit entrance hall and disappeared up a stairway.

"She seems to have settled in quite well. Something tells me that your brother isn't actually letting her work as his slave," Boss remarked.

They headed through the palace until they reached the back yard. Park would have been a more accurate description. The yard housed a large water fountain. Tall snow covered pine trees appeared to watch out for the inhabitants of the castle.
