"Master Yenshu, I cannot reach the Masters Kenobi and Tseng so please forward this message to them." Tzadik said into a holoprojector. "Princess Leia and King Organa are doing well. The Empire has not questioned him or even made contact with him. Leia has accepted me as her guard and she trusts me fully. Nothing out of the ordinary has yet to occur, but I do sense that something big is coming, almost like a big wave. That is all that has happened. I must get back now. Good luck on your missions and may the Force be with you."
Tzadik left the secret room, where she was told to make all of her transmissions so that they could not be traced, and walked back up stairs. She went to Leia's room, only to find her not there.
"Oh my gosh! Obi-Wan's gonna kill me!" she yelled. She frantically started searching the attached rooms, trying to find the missing princess. After those rooms were torn apart, she went on to her the king's room. She asked all of the servants that she saw and none had seen her. After about forty- five minutes of looking, she gave up. She went to the kitchen to tell the king of her failure and to receive whatever punishment he would give.
"My lord, I am so sorry, but something terrible has happened." she said as she entered the room and bowed to the king. "I have lost your daughter. I looked everywhere but I can't find her. I have failed you."
"Umm, well, then you obviously haven't searched everywhere because she is in the next room eating breakfast." he said with a sympathetic smile.
"Oh, thank you my lord. It won't happen again." she said as she ran to the next room to find the princess.
"There you are Tzadik, I thought that you had gotten lost!" Leia said with a mischievous grin.
"Don't you ever do that to me again!" Tzadik reprimanded. She went up to the Princess and threw a roll at her.
"Hey, you're not supposed to throw food in the house." Leia said. "I'm gonna tell my daddy!"
"Well you're not supposed to go anywhere without my knowledge, so I'm gonna tell your daddy." She answered playfully. "Ok, but seriously, don't do that again. You don't understand how important it is that I know where you are all the time, ok?"
"Oh all right. So, what do you want to do now?" Leia asked as she pushed away her breakfast plate.
"Well, how about we play school. You're going to go to your tutors and I'm going to watch you and you're going to learn!"
"But I did that yesterday!" Leia whined.
"And your going to do it everyday until you're done." Tzadik started leading her down the hall to her schoolroom.
"And when will that be?" Leia asked.
"Oh, I'd say a good ten more years. Maybe more. It's really up to your father."
"Another ten years of this! I think I'm gonna be sick."
"No you're not! I let you play hooky the other day and you're not going to do it again."
"Please Tzadik?"
"No. Listen, if you go to school, I'll play some games with you this afternoon ok?"
"What games?"
"Oh, you can pick them, now go to school."
"Fine." Leia slowly went into her room and pulled her books from the shelf. She sat down and started her daily lesson plan.
"Well, if everyday is this easy, then this is going to be a breeze!" Tzadik thought to herself with a smile.
