Chapter Text

Rey learns after the party she was staying at the mansion. She had her own room with its on-suit bathroom. Her own bathroom. A bath. A shower. A sink. A toilet. All pure white with sliver bars, handles and taps. Towels and so much more. The tiles were pure white, and the floor was silver. The towels were on a sliver rail and the towels were lilac. One bath sheet towel. One head towel and one hand towel. All for her. She felt like Cinderella from rags to riches in only one day. Her bedroom was light. Cream carpeting with matching curtains. The walls were a mandola with pine wood on the bottom half of the walls. The bed also pine wood and the bedding were cream with matching pine wood furniture. Cream bedside lamps and oval shape mirror with a gold frame around it. It seems nice and overwhelming at the same time. It made Rey tired. She sat on her bed ready to fall asleep when there was a knock on the door. Rey got up to answered it and stood there was an elderly tall, slim man with white hair wearing a very formal suit, holding a white dressing grown and a lilac nightdress.

"Good evening, Miss Smyth." He spoke. "I am Threepio. Butler to the Solos. I am one of many servants that work here. Mistress Leia Solo asked me to bring you your night grown."

"Oh!" Rey said stocked. "Please let me take those off your hands."

"Oh, no Miss Smyth." Threepio said walking pass Rey. "I am at your service, and I insist I lay them down for you. Ah, on the bed nicely."

"You can call me Rey."

"Miss Rey then."

"No just Rey!"

"Oh, my too formal Miss Rey. I shall only address you properly and when you are married to Master Ben, I shall address you as Mistress Rey."

"Oh, then how shall I address you?"

"Threepio and if you need anything. There is a servant bell by door if you need anything. Just press the button and talk into it and ask us for anything you need."

"Thank you Threepio."

"Anytime Miss Rey. Is there anything I can tell you at this very moment."

"No, thank you. I just want to go to bed and sleep."

"Of course, Miss Rey. Then I shall bid you good night."

Threepio quickly left Rey's bedroom and bowed to her before closing the bedroom door. Rey breath a sigh of relief. Truly this was overwhelming. Rey didn't know there were servants here. Threepio seems nice and enjoys his work as a butler. He even takes it seriously about it. Rey sat herself next to the night grown and nightdress. They were soft and felt very nice. Rey touches the nightdress, and it was very nice. It was slick and liked how it felt against the touch of her fingers. She yawned and so got dressed out of her formal dress and into her nightdress which had long sleeves. It felt nice wearing it. She turned off her bedroom lights and got into bed and fell right off to sleep.

The next morning. Rey awoke to the sunlight shining on her face. It was warm and very inviting. Rey sat up and stitched her arms out. She got off her bed and walked towards her window. She opened it and heard the birds tweeting away in the birds. Rey smiled at the sweet sounds and then heard someone grunting. Rey looked down and saw Ben. He had only black workout trousers on and was bare footed and shirtless. Rey blushed she didn't know Ben was buff. Muscles and what looks like an eight pack. He was sweating and doing arm punching and leg kicking movements. It was like Ben was doing martial arts in the backyard and had been doing it for some time. Ben stopped and took some deep breaths. He turned around and was greeted by Threepio with a red hand towel. Ben notices Rey looking out her window. Rey blushed and turned away.

"Morning Rey!" Ben called her.

"Morning!" Rey said nervously. "Morning Threepio."

"Good morning, Miss Rey." Threepio said happily. "Would you like some breakfast?"

"Hm, yes please. I will go wash and get dressed." Rey answered and went to close her window.

"I shall send a maid up with some clean clothes Mistress Leia brought for you and Master Ben you must've worked up an appetite after your morning workout."

"Yes, I have, and breakfast would be nice after my shower." Ben said with a smile the towel around the back of his neck. "The sun must've woken Rey up and she decide to admire it not expecting to see me."

Ben smiled. Guessing his mother picked that guest room for Rey. Knowing full well she would notice him working out in the garden. Practicing his self-defense moves. Being a descendant of Thor. Ben had to learn movements to carefully use his thunder power. Last night's party got him thinking a storm was coming. A strong one and remembering what his parents said that the car accident wasn't one to them. He got him thinking. Did Palpatine and Snoke really wanted to help demi-gods? When it rains it pours, but dark clouds appear before thunder strikes down.

“Penny for your thoughts?” Luke asked.

“Uncle Luke, I haven’t seen you since the party last night.” Ben said coming out of his thought. “You and Miss. Holdo had a good time together.”

“Ms. Holdo!” Luke corrects. “And we did. Very much so!”

“Oooh, gross!”

“Hey!”

“Come on I don’t want to hear my fifty-four-year-old uncle managing to score.”

“Alright! Now what’s on your mind?”

Ben took a deep breath and told his uncle his theory he has regarding Snoke and Palpatine might know who or be part of those targeting demi-gods. Leia is a senator in the senate and works with many people including Snoke and Palpatine. Not many people knew the Symths were visit them during the holidays unless they had connections to the families. Luke nodded in agreement it was odd and he had been looking in every lead he got but never thought of investigating the senators and will look into Snoke and Palpatine’s backgrounds. Let’s see if their attentions in helping demi-gods is true.
