After learning that she did indeed have a child, Vader was both happy and nervous. Happily, there seems to be hope in his life again, and he has a long-lost family again. Nervous, he didn't know how to recognize his son, and he was even more afraid that the emperor would find out about this information that was closely related to his past.

After being a Sith for so many years, Vader certainly knows the Sith's "rule of two". More than a thousand years ago, when the Siths were still lurking outside the Republic, looking for an opportunity to regain power. The Sith Lord at that time, Das. Bane created the Law of the Two, and after that, at the same time, there could only be two "orthodox" Sith activities.

With the exception of these two Siths, the other Force warriors who have fallen into the dark side are not directly identified as part of the Sith. After encountering the real Sith, they are even likely to identify each other as enemies and fight each other.

And in this pair of "orthodox" Siths, there is always a master and an apprentice coexisting. They "encourage" each other (compete) and together they "get stronger" (refine the plan to overthrow the Republic and the Jedi Order). If you don't reach your goal, you won't stop.

The Republic had been subverted 20 years earlier, and the members of the Jedi Order had long been killed and could not be found. In the long time since, there have been many Jedi knights who have voluntarily fallen into the dark side and tried to join the Empire.

However, most of them were not accepted by the Empire, and even a few who were accepted by the Empire would not be identified as a Sith by anyone. Now, there are hundreds of known users of the Dark Force throughout the Galactic Empire, but only Vader and the Emperor are considered the rightful Siths.

The rule of the two is still theoretical, although Vader and the Emperor have both played tricks on this issue. Vader had secretly adopted as his apprentice the young son of a Jedi Master he had killed, training him to wield the Dark Force as his assistant in hunting down enemies and as a secret weapon against the Emperor.

Emperor Palpatine himself had his own secret apprentices, who were used to spy on the bureaucrats and marshals of the Empire. Neither of these "orthodox" Siths has seriously followed the rule of two. And the law of the two itself has long since lost its significance with the demise of the republic.

However, due to the fierce power struggle within the empire, especially the frequent conflicts between the emperor himself and Vader, the two of them still actively or passively maintained the surface of this principle.

Luke is Vader's son, who has inherited Vader's Force talent and hopes to become as powerful as Vader in the future. Even more powerful Force users. This reason alone was enough to make the emperor jealous of him.

Vader could have foreseen that if Palpatine knew about Luke's existence, there was a good chance that he would eliminate Luke at all costs, so as to prevent himself and Luke's father and son from joining forces against him, the emperor.

Honestly, that's exactly what Vader was planning at this time. After learning that Luke was his son, he pursued the rebel fleet day and night, even harder than before the destruction of the Death Star. Not to destroy the enemies of the enemy country, but to recognize his own son as much as possible!

Meanwhile. He also wanted to show that as usual, he would not show his intentions while intriguing with the emperor and other powerful people in the empire. Soon, though, he would know that his worries were useless.

Soon, he returned to his large private cabin, and after emptying the room, he turned on the huge holographic communicator and made contact with the Emperor in Coruscant. As usual, the Emperor's iconic dead face appeared in front of him in the form of a holographic projection.

The emperor also had a time of kindness when he ascended the throne. However, no matter who Palpatine looks at now, he will show a gloomy and ill-intentioned look. His face had long been disfigured by cultivating the Dark Force, and dense wrinkles lined his face. The slightest movement on his face is full of negativity.

However, after all, Vader had been working with Palpatine with such a face for 20 years, and he himself had suffered the same disfigured fate, so he did not show any abnormality because he saw the emperor's dead face, and after confirming that the communication was smooth, he immediately began a conversation with the emperor.

"I have something new to report, my mentor. I felt a disturbance in the Force...... "These were Vader's opening words to test the Emperor. He knew that the suspicious Palpatine had never fully trusted him.

In order to work effectively with Palpatine and get things done, he had to cooperate with the Emperor in his never-ending trick of questioning and lying. Now he very much needed to know if the Emperor had sensed the fluctuation of the Force that had alerted him, and what the other party's attitude was.

But if he directly and discussed his thoughts. Palpatine will certainly question his motives, and may even issue some new orders specifically to toss him. For the past 20 years, Vader has often been sent on almost pointless missions in remote sectors when the Emperor is suspicious of him.

If Vader had never contacted the emperor and reported his hunch, the danger would have been the same. Because if the Emperor sensed the fluctuations of the Force and was interested, and he had not contacted him, Palpatine would probably have wondered if he had anything to do with the fluctuations, and would have made up some inexplicable reason to toss him.

As the Emperor's second-in-command, Vader knew his Sith mentor too well. The emperor may have shortcomings in domestic and foreign affairs and his ability to fight, but only the means of manipulating people's hearts and torturing his subordinates are top-notch. It was never easy to serve this suspicious and fastidious Sith Master.

In order to communicate information directly, he had to twist his language and create suspense out of thin air, so that Palpatine could have questions in the conversation, and then ask questions, so that the other party could guess and "discover" the information he was "hiding".

Only then will the emperor himself believe that the correct information has been obtained from him. Only then will the suspicious Palpatine give a reasonable, unbiased new order for Vader to carry out.

But I don't know what's going on today, after hearing Vader say the first half of the sentence, the emperor actually smiled slightly. It was a smile of relief, and Vader hadn't seen a similar expression on the Emperor's face in a long time.

"I know you're feeling a fluctuation of the Force, my friend. I... I also feel that there has been a strong wave of Force fluctuations that have been disturbing us recently! The Emperor seemed to know what he was going to say, and especially accentuated the tone of the second half of his sentence.

But what he was about to say next was beyond Vader's imagination, and instead of mentioning the Force disturbance that Vader felt from Tatooine, he mentioned the last thing Vader wanted him to know.

"Remember the young rebel who destroyed the Death Star, Lord Vader?" His identity was finally confirmed by our intelligence officer, and the young man was Anakin. A direct descendant of Skywalker! The Emperor suddenly revealed the truth that worried Vader the most.

"How is that possible! Vader carefully added some surprise to his deep tone, accompanied by the sound of his heavy mechanical breathing, hoping that he would disguise his surprise to deceive the Emperor, although his instincts told him that it might just be wishful thinking on his part.

"Face your hunch, Lord Vader, you know it's true! Sure enough, the Emperor responded with a slightly disgruntled tone of surprise to him, clearly expressing his displeasure at Vader's constant concealment of information about his son.

Vader lowered her body when she heard this. Although none of them continued to waste time on this topic, the Emperor's statement was undoubtedly confirming his greatest fear, that is, the Emperor had already had a comprehensive understanding of the whole matter.

Vader was fairly certain that he had acted immediately when Luke's identity was confirmed a few months ago, killing all those involved in the investigation. After that, he used his position and connections in the Imperial bureaucracy to secretly halt all investigations into Luke's identity by the Imperial intelligence services, hoping that such a move would prevent the Emperor from learning of Luke's identity.

But now it seems that his preparations may have only slowed down the emperor's discovery of the truth. It is more likely that the Emperor learned the truth about Luke's identity at the same time as him. Because the emperor must have carefully considered and planned such an important matter before having a showdown with himself, and it would take time.

The good news is that the Emperor is able to communicate directly with himself means that his Sith Mentor has given up on the idea of killing Luke directly. After all, the Emperor himself could not have expected himself to kill his own son or turn a blind eye to what happened to Luke.

The bad news is that the plan he was still hatching in his mind to unite his son to overthrow the emperor may have become very difficult to achieve. It is impossible for the suspicious emperor not to think of the possibility of uniting his son against him.

Considering that Luke's true identity may have been revealed to the Emperor for quite some time, the Emperor at this time may have laid out a consummated plan to deal with the possibility of himself and Luke joining forces against him. Under such worries, Vader could only bow his head deeply and quietly wait for the emperor to give new instructions.

"This young man has a chance to ruin us in the future, Lord Vida. The Emperor did not give direct instructions, instead, as usual, he put the question in front of Vader, testing his apprentice's reaction. Vader knew that her next series of answers would have to satisfy the Emperor, or else Luke would face a direct threat from the spies from Palpatine. (To be continued......)
