Birthday Party

Eriadu

August 4, 20 BBY

Eriadu Palace , Eriadu City

"Damn it , to think that I'd hate my own 9th birthday party , well why shouldn't I , most of those attending were well known or from wealthy families, families that were full of narcissistic , self inflated pompous fools . No wonder father didn't attend, plus there's the fact that he's currently serving as an admiral in the republic navy and also one of the chief of staffs in the Judicial Bureau."

"The constant pestering from my cousins of the motti family was annoying . I was in a kids body yes ; but mentally I was no kid , and them wanting me to part take in activities i viewed as stupid and childish…well we are children , but the point is I'm an adult in a child's body for crying out loud."

"William, If I didn't know any better , I'd say you were hiding from your own party",the newly arrived Garoche teased.

"Ah, nonsense brother, why would I…

"haha, you better not , you would'nt want mother to find that out would you ?"

"I suppose not"I said nervously

"Then lets go"

I sighed then followed him back to the party,there was no escaping Garoche.

I truly respected my brother, he was very caring towards his family but could be cold and calculating when needed be , well that was expected of the Tarkins we had to be politically smart , calculating and warriors in our own way and like most tarkin men he had dark brown hair , he was five feet eight inches tall , he had a very sharp and angular jaw just like our father and he was slightly muscular, no thanks to father on that part of course . All that build came from our mother's genes no doubt, she was not fat nor skinny but was justttt right if you know what I mean (I'm just kidding ). A very strong boned woman , and very strong willed as well.

Even Possessing the courage to go up against father of all people. It was clear that there was no love between the two, only a formal understanding of each other and for the well-being of house Tarkin they cooperated, a more fitting word for their toxic relationship. Father only married mother for power and it was the same case for mother and her family the Mottis .

Our family were two of the richest within the outer rim and our planets were fairly close to each other so why not an alliance ?

speaking of family , here comes mother and uncle motti, and she doesn't looked pleased.

"William , where have you been ? I hope you weren't hiding from your party …,

because your uncle here has taken time off from his duties to visit."

"Mother, I wouldn't dare, I was just talking to brother Garoche in private."

she stared at me skeptically and then at Garoche sternly , with him nodding and confirming my statement to be true .

"Uncle , so kind of you to join the party, I thought your duties would have left you preoccupied for the next few months."I said as i tried to change the subject quickly from me hiding off.

"Nonsense nephew , I would always make time for my sister's sons." he said as he smiled

And this is my uncle, my mothers younger brother , Conan Antonio Motti , He's currently in the republic military, A starship captain to be precise, and is mainly responsible for transporting large amounts of expensive military grade mineral ores into the inner rim worlds.

"Come now william , there are more dignitaries to meet , I'm sure your uncle will tell you of his tales traveling through space later" said mother in a tone that was non debatable.

'Damn this woman sometimes, didn't she just say that my uncle travelled across the galaxy to be here, but at the same time I couldn't get five minutes to speak with him ,now you see why I was trying to avoid this party, damn it!'

Garoche was smiling away like a mad man, my suffering seemed to amuse him .

'Sadistic bastard', I thought.

Just like uncle Conon , Garoche is also a Republic starship pilot, but father didn't want him too close to the war against the CIS ,because of fear of garoche being taken captive due to family ties and his wealthy tarkin background, as he was a year ago , So he was mostly stationed a good distance away from the worst and most brutal fighting against the CIS, but it seemed far wasn't good enough. No matter where he went there was always conflict ,although small the space battles he was involved in were brutal and horrendous he didn't need to tell me any stories or tales of his fights , i already knew how horrific and evil the sepratist could be . There was no mercy shown by a robot for they asked for none.

And so I was taken away by my mother , I spent the rest of the night talking to bureacrats, politicians and military officers, some of these men using their daughters to butter me up and gain favor every chance they got, it was obvious they wanted their daughters to marry a son of the famous tarkin family in the future , not even Garoche escaped this onslaught.

'Damn leeches,i shouldn't expect any less anyway. For as they say, there is no honour in politics'.
