1943. The right to choose
Grand Duke's Mansion on Dawn Planet.
Tang Xiao was politely woken up by his assistant, because he received a communication, and the person who sent the communication was one of the people Tang Xiao had told his assistant that he must answer it no matter what the situation - Bell-O Garner, Senator from Alderaan.
Looking at the tired and angry congressman in the communication, Tang Xiao just smiled lightly and asked: "It is my rest time now. What do you do for a living? Congressman Organa."
"You should know why I'm here! His Excellency the Grand Duke of Dawn!" Bail Organa's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was suppressing huge anger.
"Oh! So, is Alderaan finally willing to open a trade market for Dawn Planet? Or do you have any good things from the core area that you plan to share with me?" Tang Xiao made a seemingly exaggerated statement. expression of surprise.
"That's enough!! Tell me! Where is Leia!!!" Bail Organa finally couldn't bear it anymore. He slammed his fist on the table and roared loudly.
An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, "Oh... you can talk to me so confidently, that can only mean one thing - someone's salary this year may not be guaranteed."
......
At this moment on the other side of the Dawn Planet.
"Sneeze!" Super Lotus sneezed in front of the computer. She rubbed her nose and muttered to herself, "That doesn't make sense. Have you not had enough sleep recently?"
"Sneeze! "But there was another sneeze behind her.
Super Lotus turned around suddenly, only to see Nova rubbing her nose and exiting invisible mode behind her. A drop of cold sweat flowed from her forehead, "Um...Miss Nova, what are you doing here? And what's more?" ...Why are you so close to me?"
"Of course...please try the frozen fish." Nova showed a bright smile, "I took off my clothes and stuffed them in." That kind of thing.”
……
"I don't want to beat around the bush with you! Hand over Leia immediately!" Bail Organa was furious, and Tang Xiao's incomprehensible answer was actually an admission.
However, Tang Xiao's expression suddenly became extremely cold, "Hand it over? Who should I give it to? Leia's biological parents?"
"I promised Leia's mother, Take good care of her!" Bail Organa said.
"The question is, can you do it?" Tang Xiao said coldly, "Do you know who her father is?"
"I know." Bell-O Garner gritted his teeth and said, "That's why I can't hand her over to you!"
Tang Xiao had a look of astonishment on his face, "You actually know who Leia's father is? That's interesting. So, tell me about this... Based on your answer, maybe I will agree to return Leia to you. "
Bail Organa frowned. He suddenly felt that things might not be that simple. He looked at Tang Xiao and understood that Tang Xiao might know everything, otherwise he would never be able to find Leia alone. . No matter what, to kidnap a princess from the Alderaan planet in the core circle, the resources consumed by such an operation are definitely not a small amount.
Although he was confused, he decided to tell the truth: "Leia's father is the late Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker! Leia has the blood of the Jedi Knight! If she is The Imperial Intelligence Department learned that it was impossible for them to let Leia continue to live in the world!" Tang Xiao's face relaxed, and he shook his head with a look of pity, "It seems that you don't know anything."
“You!”
"Let me tell you this, Bail Organa, even if I think of you, you are also a hero." Tang Xiao looked at him sideways and said coldly: "You only have a superficial understanding of what Leia really means. What will happen to Leia when she is there? Maybe she can grow up healthy, have enough food and clothing, and even become the princess of Alderaan. But so what? She just spent more than ten years there. . What kind of person will she become when she grows up? Maybe the upper limit is another Queen of Alderaan? But..." He put his hands on the table and approached the projection screen, "So what? "The Queen of Alderaan, in this galaxy... can't even protect herself."
"We...will risk everything to protect her!" Bail Organa gritted her teeth.
"Is it useful to risk everything? You can't even protect the planet Alderaan. Let alone Leia." Tang Xiao said.
Bail Organa's face was extremely gloomy. He wanted to refute, but when he thought of Palpatine on the throne, he couldn't refute.
"Go back and do what you should do. I think you should have thought it through a long time ago." Tang Xiao turned his back, "Leia is here with me, that's right. A life without worries about food and clothing, an elite education. , I cannot do without her here, and I can give her more - that is, the power to make choices."
"You want to train her to be as evil a Sith as you are. Lord!" Bail Organa was furious.
But Tang Xiao did not feel dissatisfied and said calmly: "Three years ago, I made a choice to negotiate a separate peace with Palpatine and withdraw from the war. But you know that I made this choice How many battleships, how many soldiers, and how many battle robots are behind it? If it were the planet Alderaan, do you... have the right to choose?"
Bail Organa was silent.
Tang Xiao turned around and called, "Leia, come here."
I saw Leia running over with Laura in her arms. When she saw Bail Organa on the screen, her eyes suddenly lit up and she ran over and said loudly: "Father Organa! Are you here to take me home?" ?”
“Leia...seeing that you are safe and sound, I...I...” Bail Organa, this iron-clad man, was also engulfed in deep affection at this moment.
"It's okay to let Leia return to the planet Alderaan. We can openly send an envoy to pick her up with gongs and drums. The Dawn Planet can even bear all the expenses, okay?" Tang Xiao put his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Bail Organa felt a pain in her heart, as if she had been pierced by a sharp knife.
At this moment, he finally understood what choice was.
Even if he is a member of the Alderaan planet and his wife is the Queen of Alderaan, they... have no choice!
Pick up Leia with gongs and drums? The planet Alderaan doesn't have the guts...and power!
Seeing the hesitant Bail Organa, Princess Leia's watery eyes were full of confusion. She didn't understand why her beloved adoptive father would hesitate to simply send a delegation.
Tears burst from Princess Leia's eyes again. She took two steps back and said miserably: "You...will take me back, right? Organa...father...?"
