Here is another chapter for you all! It's a bit shorter than normal, but it is very action-packed. Enjoy and review! c:
"So what did you find out?" Etai was rather impatient and he tapped his foot on the floor as the maid closed the door behind her.
"The prince clearly has a relationship going on with that harlequin green girl. It's disgusting to watch, I can assure you." The girl spat on the floor in disgust, her face full of detestation.
"So that unfaithful little brat wants to marry my daughter. I won't have it, Milla, I won't!" The man crossed his arms and dropped onto the couch in despair. The woman, who he called Milla, sat next to him and kissed his cheek.
"It's alright, my love. Everything will be fine." Etai moved to kiss his mistress and she loosened his collar. The man straddled her and lowered his mouth to hers.
"Are you sure we should be doing this?" Milla's voice was laced with fear and she turned her face away from him.
"Of course not, Milla; but why shouldn't we?" Etai kissed at her neck and she let out a throaty moan. The girl opened her mouth to respond, but he stopped her. "Just calm down. Who's going to find out? And let's be serious; who's going to give a damn?"
Milla never got a chance to answer.
"Madam, please hold still. It's hard to pin up your dress when you're squirming so." Elphaba put the last safety pin in place and stood up, groaning slightly as she arched her back. Glinda looked absolutely stunning. Her golden curls were fastened in a tight bun, but a couple of strands framed her face. Her makeup was done lightly and her face was twisted in an anxious expression. She gently fingered the elegant lace of her bodice and a sigh escaped her lips.
"Elphie, I don't think that I can do this." Glinda's brilliant blue eyes were filled with unshed tears and her lip quivered as she tried to keep herself from bursting out crying. Elphaba took her hands gently and looked at her.
"Glin, you can do this. Fiyero will be waiting for you." At those words, Glinda bit her lip and stared at the girl.
"But it seems so wrong! I love Boq and Fiyero loves you. It's just not right." Elphaba sighed and shook her head.
"It's okay. My relationship with Boq just wasn't meant to be and I, well…."
"You what?" Elphaba's eyes slanted in suspicion. Glinda didn't want to get into a fight with her servant, especially on such a day, but she had to answer.
"I suppose that your relationship isn't going to last." Glinda said the words slowly, sensing Elphaba's anger.
"Just because you and Boq can't be together doesn't mean that I can't be with Fiyero!" The green girl snapped at her, her hands clenching into fists. Elphaba had absolutely no right to be so infuriated at her and she drew herself up to her full height of 4'11" and cornered the girl.
"You can't be with Fiyero, Elphaba. What the hell don't you understand about that? I am marrying him! You two have no chance together!" She screeched at her servant. "If you don't understand, Elphaba, get out. Just get out." Elphaba glared once more at her mistress and then slammed the door behind her. After the girl left, Glinda sat down in an upholstered chair, her head in her hands in despair. She felt a pang of guilt deep within her and regretted her decision. Elphaba didn't have much and stealing her dreams of Fiyero was totally inappropriate.
"Glinda, dear, what are you doing? Get up; the wedding starts in five minutes!" Carole's enthusiasm made her sick and she was forcibly brought to her feet.
"But Mother, Dad isn't here. Who's escorting me down the aisle?" Glinda hadn't even thought of that and it began to worry her.
"Do not fret, darling, I will do it." Carole smiled at her daughter as the grand doors of the main hall slowly opened from the inside. Everyone in the room turned around, gasping in amazement as Glinda glided down the aisle with her mother at her side. Carole drifted off to the side as Fiyero took the blonde's hands, a grin gracing his features.
Fiyero looked rather handsome, his hair combed back and gelled. His tailored suit was perfect, no creases or stains in sight. He flipped Glinda's veil and got a good look at her face. They almost didn't notice when the priest began to speak.
"We are gathered here today in the face of this company, to join together Prince Fiyero Tigelaar and Lady Glinda Upland in matrimony; which is an honorable and solemn estate and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and soberly. Into this estate these two persons present come now to be joined. If anyone can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." The priest looked around to see if anyone was going to speak up. After not hearing anything, he opened his mouth to continue when the oak doors flew open.
The crowd was shocked to see a frazzled Etai sprint down the aisle. "I object! My daughter will not be married to an unfaithful man!"
