The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2244: Satine Kryze's Determination

During the constant struggle, the bearded man's cloak was knocked off, revealing a weather-beaten face, it was the long-missing Obi-Wan Kenobi!

And the middle-aged woman he had been holding was actually the former Grand Duke of Mandalore - Satine Kryze!

However, at this moment, the two of them were both wearing coarse cloth, just like ordinary people. The once elegant and noble Archduchess Satine Kretz now looked like an ordinary peasant woman, with her hair simply combed up and tied behind her head. Wrinkles had already appeared on her unpainted face. She was thin and looked extremely haggard.

Satine Kryze grabbed Obi-Wan's collar and said with tears in her eyes: "What happened to Mandalore... Show me... I want to know..."

"You take a rest first. I'll report the news to you after I finish reading it. How about that?" Obi-Wan patted Satine Kryze's back and said softly.

"Planet Mandalore...Planet Mandalore..." Satine Kryze finally calmed down under Obi-Wan's comfort.

Obi-Wan got up and poured a glass of water from the kettle he brought back and fed Satine to drink. After a while, she finally fell into a deep sleep.

Obi-Wan Kenobi then walked over and picked up the news terminal, looked around, walked to the enclosed small farm in the backyard, turned it on, and tuned the channels to find news about the planet Mandalore.

There weren't many news reports leaking out, and there were no live footage at all. And the news channels that could be received were almost all from the Galactic Empire, and they all expressed support for Transcendent Vizsla's actions, and described this genocide as a last resort after being forced into a desperate situation by the mob.

  However, although there was not much information, Obi-Wan Kenobi still pieced together a hellish scene in his mind!

He knew very well that Super-Vizla had gone completely crazy. In order to maintain his rule, he did not hesitate to launch a genocide, wanting to slaughter all the Mandalorians on the planet, and then wear the crown himself in the sea of ​​blood and corpses.

"In a month, his coronation ceremony will be held in Sundari City..." Obi-Wan Kenobi muttered to himself, "This time and this place are undoubtedly a trap... He wants to catch all those who resist him..."

There was a sudden sound behind him, and Obi-Wan Kenobi turned around, only to find Satine Kryze wrapped in a thin sheet, with only a gap showing as she looked over here.

She was already shaking all over and sweating profusely, but she was still watching the news, watching everything about the planet Mandalore.

Obi-Wan Kenobi hurried over and held Satine Kryze in his arms, only to feel that her body was cold and shaking violently.

Her brain was directly affected by the brainwashing device set up by Darth Tenebrous. Although Obi-Wan Kenobi used his powerful force to help her get rid of the control, the damage to her brain was irreversible. Now Satine Kryze has an IQ equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child, and she must not hear anything related to the planet Mandalore.

Astro Vizsla has been relentlessly hunting down Satine Kryze, and Obi-Wan Kenobi moved with her many times, finally arriving at this remote planet where they have lived for a year and have finally settled down.

However, they heard the explosive and terrifying information coming from the planet Mandalore.

In fact, Obi-Wan Kenobi has been secretly paying attention to the news of Mandalore. The previous news included the regent of former Prime Minister Almec, who was later overthrown by Super Vizsla, and then there were rebellions one after another, and then Bo-Katan Kryze was pushed to the forefront... Although these things are heartbreaking, they are also expected. Obi-Wan Kenobi will not be shaken by these things.

After he gave up the mask given to him by Darth Malthael and chose to live in seclusion with Satine Kryze, he had made up his mind not to care about anything in the galaxy and just wanted to spend the rest of his life with the one he loved.

This galaxy has caused him too much harm. The Master Dooku, whom he has always respected, has turned into Count Dooku. The galaxy has split, war has broken out, and the Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, who led the Galactic Republic to resolutely maintain unity, has also turned into Darth Sidious... The Jedi Order has been destroyed, and the galaxy has been divided up by the Sith Lords. How can he accept such a thing?

Not to mention that Sheri Takhi, who had a crush on him before, was also killed by Darth Malthael and resurrected as a zombie, so Obi-Wan Kenobi had to kill her. Then, there was the referendum on Mandalore, the conspiracy of the invisible mastermind, and Satine Kryze was brainwashed and controlled...

After going through all this, Obi-Wan Kenobi was too tired. His heart was numb and cold. He could only hold on to that last bit of warmth - Satine Kryze.

Comforting his lover in his arms, Obi-Wan Kenobi said, "Let's not worry about Mandalore anymore... There are naturally people with ulterior motives who will fight against each other... Behind the scenes, there are countless forces competing in secret. There is no need for us to go back to such a muddy water. Mandalore is no longer the Mandalore that was once governed by the New Mandalorians."

"It's my fault... It's all my fault... It's my fault..." Tears welled up in Satine Kryze's eyes again, "I asked them to lay down their weapons... It's my fault... I asked them to lay down their weapons..."

"You are right, Satine." Obi-Wan Kenobi said earnestly, "It is because of your existence that the people on Mandalore can have enough food and live a better life. You are the hero who saved Mandalore..."

"Open... open..." Satine Kryze pointed at the news terminal.

"You can't watch this, and you can't do anything right now." Obi-Wan Kenobi shook his head firmly.

"Open it... I want to see... I want to see the planet Mandalore. No matter what, I have to see it... Keep watching..." Satine Kryze grabbed Obi-Wan Kenobi's collar.

Obi-Wan Kenobi's expression gradually became serious. He stared into Satine Kryze's eyes and saw that those once cloudy eyes now had some liveliness, which moved him.

Satine Kryze, her love for the planet Mandalore, is now fighting with her damaged brain! She is trying to wake herself up! (End of this chapter)
