The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1735. The Twins of Destiny

"What? Lady Padmé is about to give birth?!" Dome was shocked and rushed towards the inside of the manor.

"Oh, this is really a surprise, such a surprise." C-3PO also followed behind with a sway.

The navigation robot R2-D2 also beeped into it. It began to accelerate without saying a word and passed in front of C-3PO. Then at the door of Padmé Amidala's bedroom, R2-D2 suddenly stopped and blocked the door. C-3PO slammed into R2, but could not get in.

"Please make way, thank you R2." C-3PO said.

However, R2-D2 ignored it at all and continued to block the door. There was a beeping sound from the sound module, speaking in the language of the robot.

"Oh, okay, I know it may not be appropriate for us to go in, but I just want to express my concern for the master." C-3PO said.

Beep beep beep...R2-D2 said for a while.

"Okay, I understand. Then we will guard the door." C-3PO took two steps to the side and guarded the door.

However, R2-D2 entered the room without hesitation...

"R2! You can't go in! We should guard the door!" C-3PO said quickly.

But R2-D2 ignored it and went straight to Padmé's bedside.

"Oh, well, at least I can guard the door myself." C-3PO said coquettishly, then took two steps back and continued to guard the door.

Three medical care robots that were deliberately made into feminine shapes spoke in a very gentle electronic voice, while each performing their duties to deliver the baby, Padmé Amidala, who was still in a coma.

"A boy, very healthy." The medical care robot said softly.

Dome took the baby boy from the robot's hand and was carefully wrapped in a swaddle with just the right elasticity. Her face was filled with the light of maternal love, "Lord Padmé said, if it's a boy, then he should be named Luke!" Luke…Luke-god…god…”

Speaking of the surname that has become almost taboo now, Dome choked up.

"A girl, very healthy." The medical care robot used four robotic arms to quickly swaddle another baby girl and hand it to Domei steadily.

"Leia... If it's a girl, then her name is Leia... Leia... ugh..." Dome was holding two babies, a boy and a girl, with tears streaming down her face.

Only she who has been following Padmé Amidala will understand what these two names mean to Padmé...

It means entrusting oneself with the whole life and the whole world!

No one noticed that R2-D2 had been beside the bed at this moment, its electronic eyes flashing continuously. Then it used its short body to get under the table, spread out the antenna on its head, and started sending messages.

…

Southwest of the Milky Way, Outer Rim, Endor System, Dawn Planet.

Darth Malthael opened his eyes suddenly, and golden light flashed in his eyes. The incomparably powerful power even echoed from the depths of the Force, but it had no impact on the real world at all.

Looking at the communicator in his hand, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Darth Malthael's mouth.

He slowly stood up, only to see that the withered and black land around him suddenly seemed to be reborn, with green grass and shady green trees, and green grass sprouted out of the ground. Even the black earth seemed to be reborn. It's like having life again.

A breeze blew by, and Darth Malthael's figure had disappeared.

A moment later, a very inconspicuous-looking Lambda-class shuttle rose into the sky and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

…

The inner ring of the Milky Way, the planet Alderaan.

Queen Breha Organa of Alderaan sat on the bed holding her baby girl in her arms, loving her baby girl with a loving smile on her face.

"What a lovely girl...what's her name?" Breha Organa asked.

"Leia Amidala Skywalker." Domme replied with a smile (the one who really inherited Padmé Amidala's surname was Leia, so she is called Leia Amidala Skywalker. Walker, while Luke is just called Luke Skywalker).

"In her, I can feel the same vitality as Senator Padmé. She will definitely become a kind, sunny, and brave woman like her mother." Councilor Bail Organa from the planet Alderaan nodded. , "It's just a pity that the situation in the Empire is very serious now. Maybe Amidala and Skywalker's surname will bring her trouble."

Breha Organa also stood up from the bed and said: "For this day, I have been pretending to be pregnant for the past 6 months. We all know the meaning of this girl. Please rest assured, Congressman Dome, we will take care of it." Take care of Leia."

"She will be temporarily named Leia Organa, and we will treat her as our daughter," Bail Organa said.

"Oh... she's our biological daughter, right? Little cutie." Breha Organa teased the baby girl in her arms.

"This is also the best choice. On behalf of Lady Padmé, I would like to extend my most sincere agreement to you." Dome bent down and saluted the Organa couple with the highest courtesy.

"This is what we should do, Senator Dome." Bail Organa quickly helped Dome up. "We will take good care of Senator Padmé's daughter until she recovers. I look forward to seeing her again." one day."

"We are all like this." Domei said with a relaxed smile on her face.

In the past six months, she had been under constant pressure from the empire, but she was enjoying the rare relaxation and warmth at this moment.

However, soon, the terror of the empire once again haunted her heart. She lowered her head and said, "I have to leave. I can't let the empire's spies find out that I came here privately. This may be used by them as an excuse for us to plot against the empire... …”

"I can understand, Senator Dome. May the Force be with you." Bail Organa nodded and replied.

Dome returned to her shuttle and came to the cockpit to pilot the spacecraft herself. She took a deep breath, turned back to the cabin and said, "Are we...going to the planet Tatooine?"

An old voice came from the other side of the cabin, "Too dangerous, the planet Tatooine. Go there, the planet Dagobah. You won't be discovered by the dark side."

Dome pressed a few buttons on the navigation system, frowned and said, "Isn't this planet on the Milky Way star map?"

"Deleted, planet coordinates." The old voice said, "I can navigate for you. Let's take off."

"Yes." Dome said respectfully and started the spacecraft engine.

…

Oh~~~~! With a flash of white light, a Lambda-class shuttle left the hyperspace channel and appeared outside the planet Naboo.

Immediately, several radar beams came over, but the shuttle immediately began to send the empire's identification code, temporarily hiding it from detection.

Darth Malthael hovered the shuttle in the outer orbit of the planet. He did not drive the shuttle to land, but just stood up and looked at the blue planet through the porthole.

"Is it too late?" Darth Malthael's face was extremely cold. He raised his hand and waved, and the extremely powerful force of the dark side instantly submerged into the galaxy. He closed his eyes and sensed everything here through the force.

It took him several minutes before he opened his eyes again and took a deep breath. He didn't notice anything.

"Are you protecting them? The Force!" Darth Malthael gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent, "You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them for a lifetime! These twins are destined to , will eventually be mine! Mine!!”

[Sir, what are your plans for coming to the planet Naboo? 】The voice of the Imperial Sheriff came through the communication.

"Get out!!!" Darth Malthael, who was in an extremely bad mood, roared angrily, and the power of the dark side directly knocked the Sheriff out of another spaceship in the distance!

【yes! Just follow your orders... I'll get out of here...] The Sheriff didn't dare to make a mistake, so he quickly apologized and drove the spacecraft away from a distance.

He did not dare to have the slightest doubt about this shuttle, just because those who were active in the dark side of the empire actually behaved in this way without any sense of violation.

The Lambda-class shuttle turned its bow, restarted the hyperspace engine, and disappeared into space in an instant.

…

"Have the Intelligence Department report to me immediately about the situation of the Owen Lars family on Tatooine! Even if there is an extra fly in their house, tell me!" In the shuttle, Darth Ma Sayer connected to the intelligence department's communication and said through gritted teeth.

"We have agents tracking the Owen Lars family 24 hours a day, but so far, there is nothing unusual." The voice of Mrs. M, the Minister of Military Intelligence, came from the other end of the communication.

"Trash!! You can't find A-Sharad Hat, and you don't know what happened to Owen Lars! What's the point of raising you bunch of trash!!" Darth Malthael roared.

Mrs. M quickly responded: "I'm sorry, sir...but there is indeed nothing unusual about the Owen Lars family. We are also sending additional manpower to investigate the man named A-Sharad Heit, and we believe we will have results soon." "

"Tatooine is just such a big lump! Even if you turn it over, you have to find it for me! You must find it! And Owen Lars! You must keep a 24-hour surveillance!" Darth Malthael He said loudly, but then he paused and said: "No, you immediately remove the surveillance of the Owen-Lars family! Leave completely! Just make sure that he does not leave the planet!"

Mrs. M said: "I understand. Are you saying that if you watch too closely, the other party will not make any changes? I will make arrangements now."

"As soon as possible." Darth Malthael said with a sullen face.

"Sir..." Seeing that Darth Malthael had relaxed a little, Mrs. M asked, "Why are we following Owen Lars?"

"He will adopt a baby. This baby is crucial!" Darth Malthael said.

"Understood." Mrs. M nodded in response. She then reported: "By the way, sir, we also found something on Tatooine..."

"If it's not Al-Sharad Hat, don't bother me!" Darth Malthael interrupted her impatiently, "Also, is there any result about the situation on Alderaan? "

Mrs. M shook her head and said: "No. The intelligence personnel of the Galactic Empire are on very tight guard now, and although we have signed the peace agreement, the empire still has not opened the entry of citizens of our Principality of Dawn. It is very troublesome to infiltrate. But at least for now We're told there's nothing noteworthy about Alderaan either."

"Let your intelligence personnel continue to lurk. They are not of use for the time being, but they will be of great use in the future!" Darth Malthael said: "Just pay attention to the news on the planet Alderaan. The Queen of the Planet's My daughter’s birth, such big news cannot be unannounced!”

Mrs. M paused and said: "Well, this is indeed true. News of the pregnancy of Queen Breha Organa of Alderaan came out a few months ago. Please wait a moment..."

She paused again as if to accept the information, and then said: "I have confirmed, sir, Queen Breha did give birth to a daughter. Just now, Breha Organa announced that this daughter's name is Leia Organa, and she will become Princess of Alderaan."

Darth Malthael's expression finally softened a little, and he said coldly: "I know, it's still the same. Minimally monitor the planet Alderaan, as long as there are no big problems. Don't alert the snake... …”

"Yes... I obey." Mrs. M lowered her head and responded.

After Darth Malthael closed the communication, Mrs. M breathed a sigh of relief. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

The pressure on the phone call with the Grand Duke of Dawn was increasing, and the majestic dark side force could overwhelm almost anyone. And from before, Darth Malthael no longer concealed his power, but displayed it unscrupulously.

"Ma'am, do we need to take further action regarding Jing Fang who is on the planet Tatooine?" Next to her, another intelligence officer asked.

Mrs. M shook her head and said: "You also heard that the Grand Duke is not interested in other things on the planet Tatooine. Jing Fang is just a Jedi knight who escaped the empire's pursuit, and although he was born on the Dawn Planet, he is currently It seems that he has no intention of returning. As long as he does not do anything detrimental to us, then let him be. Record his information for review at any time."

"Yes." The intelligence officer nodded.

"Then A-Sharad Hat, continue to investigate. Including the Jawas and Tusken Sands on the planet Tatooine, don't let go. You must find them for me." Mrs. M's face changed. Be serious.

"With all due respect, madam, this name is not very famous. It seems that it has never appeared in the galaxy. Is there any point in looking for him?" The intelligence officer was still very confused.

Mrs. M said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the significance is, but have you ever seen the Grand Duke personally come to capture such a specific piece of information? Even if the Galactic Empire launched another attack on the Salukami planet a month ago, the Grand Duke would Not caring at all. Then you should know the weight of this name! Go!"

"Yes! I'll make arrangements right away."
