"That's right, I finally meet you, CE-888, my brother most similar to me." Kote felt The Force fluctuations in Zeta's body. While not as strong as his own, they were not weak either.
"My name is Zeta." Zeta looked at his genetic template.
"My name is Kote Vizsla, it's a pleasure to meet you, Zeta." Kote squatted down to look at Zeta at eye level.
Anakin was also very curious about this child who looked very much like his Older Brother Kote. He walked over, extended his hand, and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Anakin Skywalker. It's also a pleasure to meet you!"
Zeta looked at the first human he had met besides his brothers and extended his hand, smiling, "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Anakin!"
Kote said to Lana Sey beside him, "See, children should stay with children."
"Alright, perhaps we were negligent." Lana Sey watched the two children quickly start playing together and thought it made sense.
"Are you willing to come with me, Zeta?" Kote asked Zeta, who was playing with Anakin.
"Yes, as long as I'm not alone anymore!" Zeta quickly responded.
"I have always been your brother."
"Then we'll be going. The next payment will be transferred to your card. I'll leave some robots here for weapon and equipment maintenance," Kote said to Lana Sey.
"I'll let you know if anything comes up. The next batch of embryos has already started developing. I'll tell you when the first batch finishes training," Lana Sey agreed.
Kote, who came and went in a hurry, returned directly to Vadiel. During the time on the ship, Kote trained the two children in The Force every day and educated them mentally.
Zeta was also very curious about everything in the outside world. Every day he would ask Anakin what kind of place Vadiel was.
But Anakin couldn't quite explain it, only saying, "Everyone is very nice! School is also a lot of fun!"
Zeta fantasized about these things every day. Sometimes Kote would also tell the two of them stories of things he had encountered before.
Soon, three days passed. They exited hyperspace and returned to Vadiel.
Stopping at the spaceport, Kote returned with the two children. As soon as they disembarked, they saw Bo-Katan standing there with her arms crossed, and Xia Li smiling apologetically behind her.
"Younger Male Cousin! You didn't take me out to play!" Bo-Katan, already seven years old, already had a glimpse of her future self, but then she suddenly saw Zeta next to Kote. "Younger Male Cousin's child!"
Kote was instantly mortified. He was only thirteen; where would he get a two-year-old child from!
He quickly went up and covered Bo-Katan's mouth, "My little ancestor, don't talk nonsense. I told you to go to school more and read books. This is a clone."
Bo-Katan seemed to believe him and nodded, "So he's not your child, Younger Male Cousin?"
"Hmm, he's more like my brother, which makes him your Younger Male Cousin!" Kote thought about it.
"What, he should be my Younger Male Cousin. He's clearly shorter than me," Bo-Katan said, even comparing their heights. Anakin chuckled beside them.
"Don't bully him. You take them to register at school. We still have class today," Kote flicked Bo-Katan's forehead to make her stop messing around. "Anakin, take good care of Zeta and help him get familiar with things."
Zeta, in a new environment, was curious about everything. He had only seen heavy rain on Kamino and had never seen land. This was his first time being led into school by Anakin and Bo-Katan in a daze.
Anakin sat next to him, while Bo-Katan went to her own class.
Listening to the teacher recount the history of ancient Mandalore, Zeta was very excited. This was his first time hearing such a glorious history. In the next class, they began to discuss the history of modern Mandalore. Today's lesson happened to be about Kote's life. He learned for the first time what brilliant achievements his genetic template had and such experiences at such a young age.
He also learned Mandalorian language and Galactic Basic, and numbers. In the afternoon, it was outdoor class.
Warrior training, pairing up in twos, until the strongest team remained, who would then have the opportunity for live-fire target practice and jetpack training (children's version).
Naturally, Anakin and Zeta formed a team. Even without using The Force, Zeta and Anakin were already the strongest two among this group of two-year-olds, winning the warrior training without suspense.
Thus, the school day ended. Of course, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. The remaining time was for The Force training at the underground temple.
Zeta, visiting for the first time, was very surprised by the temple. Such a massive structure could exist underground! Anakin expressed that he was still surprised.
Kote conducted daily training for the two and answered their questions. After all, all Mandalorian children mature relatively early. They had already started warrior training when other children were still struggling to speak.
After six in the afternoon, Anakin took Zeta directly back to his home. Shmi Skywalker was very happy about this, as her child was living very happily on Vadiel, and everything on Vadiel was provided by the town government, which even made Anakin forget that he had once lived as a slave.
On Sundari, the investigation into Almec was proceeding in secret.
"Commander Fang Shi, we've been staking out for more than ten days and haven't found any problems with Prime Minister Almec," a team member said from the window, eating a red bean bun and looking through binoculars at Almec, who was shaking hands with the public below.
"Does that mean he's a good person, Yamazaki! Don't let Commander Kote down!" Commander Fang Shi replied to the newcomer, lying in his chair and smoking.
"Yes, Commander!" Yamazaki replied loudly, staring intently at Almec's every move.
After shaking hands with the public, Almec concluded the event and prepared to return inside the city hall. Once inside, Almec opened a communication device hidden in a secret wall. "Governor Gunray, speak your mind. I don't want anyone to see me in contact with you."
"Prime Minister Almec, first of all, I am an upright businessman, and furthermore, I have never had any hostility towards Mandalorians. It has always been your Governor Kote targeting me, so I would like to ask, how are your preparations coming along? Our common enemy is Kote. You want to get rid of him and control the Mandalorian Government, and I merely want to transport goods normally without wasting money, so we are friends, aren't we?" Gunray spoke very well, as if he had no fault.
"Hmph, the Republic hasn't settled the Alaris matter yet, but the Duchess has always vouched for him. I can't possibly bring him down. He controls the entire Mandalorian military," Almec said helplessly.
"Then kill him!" Gunray said fiercely.
"Do you think you can do it, or I can do it?" Almec said powerlessly.
"I will find someone to kill him, but I need your cooperation, and to take away everything he has," Gunray thought of Korian Vos and prepared to ask Sidious for help.
"I will do it, but you must lure him away, otherwise, with my strength, it's impossible to accomplish," Almec ended the communication.
In the room monitoring Almec, Commander Fang Shi and Yamazaki heard everything clearly, but they never expected that someone would want to kill their beloved Commander Kote! They must report it.
