097. Truth

As a rule, he survived on lies. He lied to his people, he was no Wizard. He lied to Morrible, about anything and everything. He lied to Elphaba about why he needed her. He had woven a tangled web of deceit, hiding the truth at the very centre. He'd always felt that one day the lies and the deceit would catch him up.

When he found that the Witch he had killed was his own daughter, he remembered why he lied to everyone.

The truth hurts.
