Cute Little Clones

Ghitsa looked down for a moment, "he used to beat her. When she first arrived things were okay. We all thought things would be okay. We knew how he treated his late wives, but she was different. She was a Jedi. We thought he would not dare hurt her. But that would soon change as her spirit sought to help those who needed it the most here. Those like me."

She closed her eyes, "the people loved her right away. He used to joke that her face was worth half a million credits a month. But when she gave her first official speech. It was filled with hope and promise just like the one you witnessed. That night he was so angry with her, that he beat her. We, the staff heard her cries for help. She begged him to stop. But he beat her till late in to the hours."

She lifted her face eyes back to Unna's, "the next morning, she was so badly bruised. I was there bathing her. Each time the sponged touched her, she cringed in pain." She shook her head as if answering some unspoken question, "but he didn't touch her face. That pretty face that was worth so much to him. That was the first of so many. Each day passed, I watched that light in her eyes slowly vanish as the blight glitter of this city slowly turned to the horrors that were this Palace."

She looked down once more as she played with her fingers, "she wasn't the first wife he treated like that. But the Rebel attack on the Palace made sure that she would be the last." She started to choke with tears and grief as continued to speak. "In some sense, I think the Rebels did our Lady a great service in killing that horrible man and the monster his son would have grown in to."
