Later, Madame Morrible announced, "All Shizians report at once to the auditorium!"
We all trudged to the auditorium and I sat down next to Galinda and Fiyero.
Nessa rolled her eyes at me and Amanda sat next quickly next to Galinda's Ama.
"Dr. Niddik would like to talk to you about the upcoming field trip to Russia and Paris," Madame Morrible announced.
"Well, we will be going to the Catharine Palace in St. Petersburg," he began. "We will also visit the orphanage where Anastasia and Dimitri's daughter—supposedly Anastasia was there before her daughter—lived before her adoption. Then we will trace Anastasia's original route to Paris—train, bus, and finally boat. Then we will take separate carriages to Sophie Feodorovna's house, for questioning on what I have taught you. Finally, we shall meet the family. I will assign every group someone to interview. Misses Milla, Shenshen, Pfanne, and Nessarose will interview Anastasia while the rest of you ladies in the right corner will interview Sophie. Masters Fiyero, Boq, Tibbett, Crope, and Avaric will all interview Dimitri. The rest of the men here will interview Vladimir…"
I cocked my head and then realized that Dr. Niddik meant Uncle Vlad.
"Now, Miss Galinda, because you and Miss Elphaba both missed picking names for the interview, I assigned who you will interview during the trip to you. The two of you are responsible for interviewing the so-called daughter of Anastasia and Dimitri—Elphaba Maria Tatiana Nikolaevna Feodorovna Romanov." He droned on.
I growled.
"Now, be warned both of you. She is an only child and no doubt is a spoiled brat because of it. So don't alarmed if she ignores you." He finished. "That is all. Pack a few bags for the journey. Only take the absolutely necessary items."
We all returned to our rooms and I scowled at the wall.
