1944.Leia's first lesson
Bail-Organa closed his eyes in pain, he shook his head, squatted down and said softly, "Leia... I'm sorry... I can't take you back."
"Why... why?" The tears in Leia's eyes couldn't stop anymore and fell down. "Is it because Leia is not good? Is it because Leia is not smart enough? Is it...Father Organa, don't you like Leia?"
"No...Leia. You are very well-behaved and smart... we love you more than anything! You know, your adoptive mother Borja-Organa is infertile, so we just treat you as our own. I'd like to give birth to a daughter... I'm even willing to hand over the entire Alderaan to you to inherit it! But... but..." A teardrop fell from the corner of Bail-Organa's eyes.
Princess Leia has burst into tears again.
"But Tang Xiao is right... Alderaan cannot protect you. You are truly safe when you are at Dawn Star Planet." Bail-Organa said.
"No...Leia doesn't like it here! Leia wants to go home, wants to go back to Alderaan! I want to be with my adoptive father and adoptive mother!" Leia cried.
Tang Xiao has been watching with cold eyes and said nothing.
"I'm sorry Leia... I, I can't do anything..." Bail-Organa finally said these words. Then, he faced Leia's heartbroken expression shamelessly and hurriedly closed the communication.
A long time after the holographic projection in front of him turned dark, Tang Xiao lowered his head and saw that Princess Leia's eyes seemed to have lost their sparkle. She just knelt on the ground blankly. Although tears couldn't help but flow down, she didn't make any sobs, she just shed tears so quietly...
"Organa couple, they really love you, Leia." Tang Xiao said slowly, "But if I want to love you, love alone is not enough. You also need... power!"
"Why... why?" Princess Leia asked in a low voice.
"Because you are the one who is different." Tang Xiao said, squatting down, picking up Leia, and walking towards the training room, "Let's go, I will tell you some information about your father."
"Well..." Leia nodded, but she still didn't wipe away the tears on her face. She still didn't accept what was happening in front of her.
Arriving at the training room, Tang Xiao put Leia on the ground and waved her hand. The pet robot LO-LA59 she had been holding flew out of her hand and was thrown to the other side.
Leia looked at Lola who was thrown aside, lowered his head, and did not dare to make a sound.
"I will tell you part of your biological father's name." Tang Xiao said straight to the point.
Leia suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Xiao in disbelief. Originally she had despaired of knowing the news about her parents, but now she is able to know a little bit of them, even if it is just a part of their names, that is very important!
"Darth..." Tang Xiao slowly spit out the word.
Leia's face was a little confused, and she repeated the word, "Dasi..."
"Your father's name contains profound meaning and powerful power. Das is the definition of this power." Tang Xiao said.
Leia couldn't understand what Tang Xiao was saying at all. She just looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say.
"I will also tell you my other name." Tang Xiao said.
"Isn't it...Tang Xiao?" Leia asked.
"Dass-Malthael." Tang Xiao said lightly.
Leia suddenly felt as if he was being electrocuted. His eyes suddenly opened wide, staring straight at Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao was very satisfied with her reaction, nodded and said, "So, you understand, right?"
"You are my father?" Princess Leia seemed to understand.
Tang Xiao A drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead. He tried his best to suppress his laughter and said seriously, "No, I am not your father. I am telling you that your father and I have one thing in common - Das."
"Then... what is Darth?" Leia finally asked the right question.
"In this galaxy, there should be no more than 10 people named Das. So you see, I have told you the range, and this is already a very accurate range." Tang Xiao said.
"I... I know." Leia was still confused. She felt that there was no difference between whether she knew the news or not.
"You still don't understand, because you don't understand the meaning of the name Das." Tang Xiao continued, "To be precise, this is not simply a name, but a... title."
Leia nodded. Although she couldn't understand, she still tried hard to remember every word Tang Xiao said, because this was news about her biological father.
"Let me tell you intuitively. What is the so-called Das..." Tang Xiao raised his hand and waved, only to see a barbell weighing more than 100 kilograms flying over out of thin air. Then he shook his hand again, and the barbell was twisted into a twist!
Bang! The crumpled barbell fell to the ground, and the loud sound made Leia take a step back. She looked at Tang Xiao, her eyes filled with fear.
Under the protection of Organa couple, she never knew what the Force was, but she knew the weight of this barbell and the terrifying strength required to twist this thing into a twist!
"Don't be afraid, Leia. Because you have the same power in your body, maybe even more powerful. Because..." Tang Xiao said slowly, "You are the daughter of 'Dath'."
"My father also has this power, right?" Leia asked.
"Very smart. He does have such great power." Tang Xiao replied.
"This power is also why I can't know who he is, right?" Leia asked again.
"Indeed. Only when you truly understand the meaning of Darth can you know who he is. Because only then will you truly face a choice." Tang Xiao said, "And as I have always said, choice requires strength."
"I don't quite understand why choice requires strength?" Leia asked.
Tang Xiao waved his hand again, and an apple and a bottle of drink flew over from a table in the training room. He held the two things in one hand and asked, "Choose, do you want an apple or a drink?"
Leia thought for a while, but she just felt that the drink might be dangerous, so she pointed at the apple and said, "That... apple, thank you."
Tang Xiao sneered, waved his hand, and a towel flew over. He threw the towel to Leia and said, "But you can only get this."
Leia lowered his head to pick up the towel, a little confused, "I... don't want a towel?"
"But with your power, you are not qualified to make a choice." Tang Xiao said, "Whatever you want, it's up to you."
Leia was stunned.
"Only when you have mastered the power, you have the right to choose. This is the first lesson I teach you." Tang Xiao said, "After that, I will teach you personally."
