Chapter 51. Unsettling News

Rifiuto: Non Miniera

"Welcome back Your Majesties."

"Fiyero! Elphaba!" The king and queen looked up, to see Baxiana, in her early twenties, rushing down the stairs towards them. Her long, sandy hair was pulled back in a twist.

"Hello Baxi." Elphaba said, as the girl threw her arms around the queen. Elphaba hugged her close, before letting her go so she could hug Fiyero.

"Your Majesties, King Markolo is here, requesting your presence immediately." One of the servants said.

"Let them rest and eat something first." Musetta said, hugging the two.

"I'm afraid it can't wait, Your Majesty."

"Excuse us for a few minutes." Fiyero said, leading his wife to the library. Markolo stood when they entered.

"Good to see you again Markolo." Fiyero said.

"You too Fiyero. Elphaba. I just....wish it was on happier terms."

As the two settled down, Markolo told tehm about everything, before handing Fiyero a piece of paper.

The two read the document before looking up.
