Leia would have been grateful for that, had she known. Being a Princess meant that she got bored with politics a lot back home, whether she liked it or not.

She did straighten up a little at being told that adults were wrong to doubt children's understanding of things. It wasn't often that grown ups agreed to that sort of thing. Though it did mean she'd have to be more careful what she said around him. "My mommy's a Queen and my daddy's a Sen'tor," she said. "They're both really nice and do their best to help make good rules for everyone. I have three aunts too; I love them, but they're almost as fussy as our protocol droid about manners and things. They want me to be the kind of princess who just stands there quietly and looks pretty and basically doesn't do anything fun ever. But I wanna be like my daddy when I grow up, going to lots of different places on dippomatic missions and helping people."
