Hello everyone! Here is a new chapter! And by the way, I saw Idina Menzel in concert last night and I was so close to her! Her voice was amaazing and she was so funny! She really does have the mouth of a truck driver. She sang "Defying Gravity" as an encore and the place went crazy! Anyway, enjoy and review! (Oh, 100 reviews! Thank you all!) Oh and please check out my new story: Reputation for Malice [ s/8394450/1/Reputation_for_Malice]

Everyone in the hall shifted their stares between Etai and Fiyero, not sure what to make of this scene. The prince had been publicly called out about his infidelity, but he knew that many guests in the room knew of Etai's insanity and violent ways.

Carole stood, her eyes glowing with outrage and resentment. "Everyone, it seems like we have an unexpected difficulty. If you don't mind, please follow our servants into the main hall. We will continue as soon as possible." The woman had managed to calm her voice and address the crowd. The wedding guests grumbled in discomfort as they exited the room. They all whispered, gossiping as Carole shut the oak doors behind them.

"Will someone please tell me what is going on?" The woman shouted, her face turning crimson with fury. The trio of parents glared at the two and Glinda clutched Fiyero's hand in nervousness. Etai sauntered forward, straightening his jacket and observing the occupants of the hall.

"I can tell you, dear. Our beloved prince is having an affair with Elphaba Thropp." Carole seemed unfazed, although Fiyero knew that she furious on the inside. Baxiana and Marillot gasped loudly and the prince merely looked ashamed. No one was able to mutter a word and Etai took that as a cue to continue.

"You see, I didn't stop the wedding in vain. I was trying to keep my daughter from marrying an unfaithful man." Etai explained to them all, finishing his speech and then turning to the prince.

"Fiyero, explain yourself!" Baxiana cried, feeling deep shame. The man took a step down from the altar and confirmed their fears.

"Yes, I am in love with Elphaba Thropp. I love Glinda too, you must know, and I am sorry that I had my sights set on another woman. It is true that Miss Upland is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever met, but Elphaba is the only one for me." Marillot suppressed the intense urge to slap his son. What was he doing? The man had a bright future: having Glinda as a wife and then ruling the land of the Vinkus. Why in Oz would he throw it away for a servant, of all people?

"And Glinda, I suppose that you had no idea about the matter?" Carole questioned, fixing her daughter with a deep glare. The blonde sighed and moved to stand next to Fiyero.

"I did know, Mother. I knew and I didn't care. Why should I? It's an arranged marriage; are we really required to love each other? All you adults want is for us to rule and we can do that, but you cannot stop us from loving who we want." At this bold speech, Carole raised an eyebrow.

"Who we love? Are you with another?" Glinda slowly nodded and the older woman looked as if she was about to suffer from a severe heart attack.

"I love Boq, mother; I've always loved him." She informed her.

"This is a disaster!" Baxiana cried, Marillot wrapping an arm around her waist to comfort her.

"Can't we just get rid of the law?" Fiyero and Glinda seemed to have the same idea and the adults glared at them with wide eyes.

"Just get rid of the law? The Tigelaars and the Uplands have had a covenant for as long as I can remember! The idea of getting rid of it is preposterous!" Etai snapped, whipping his arm away as Carole lightly put a hand on his wrist. "And besides, even if this law were to be repealed, Fiyero would be out of luck."

The Arjiki prince's face twisted in confusion. "Why would I be out of luck?" He questioned, sensing that Etai was up to no good. The man's mouth twisted into a sly smile.

"Elphaba's gone. She just got up and left." He lied. Fiyero's eyes widened in disbelief and he lunged for Etai. Throttling him seemed like a grand idea.

"You liar! Elphaba would never just leave! What did you do?" He shouted, Marillot holding his son back.

Getting rid of Elphaba was one of the easiest things that Etai had ever done. All he had to do was threaten the woman a bit and she ran like a frightened puppy. He had given the green girl Nanny's address (a bit of kindness on his part) and banished her from the manor. "I didn't do anything. She decided that she couldn't work any longer so she packed her bag and left."

Fiyero placed his head in his hands and tried to figure everything out. All of the adults were staring at him strangely, but he didn't mind. How did Etai know of his relationship with the green girl? He must have sent…. A spy! That was it! Who would it be? And vaguely, in the back of his mind, he remembered the new maid; the one who seemed to hang around him all the time.

"Based off the stupid look you've had for the past five minutes, I think you're trying to figure something out." Etai informed him, wincing as Carole smacked him in the head with her fan.

"Well, you can inform the guests that the wedding will be delayed because we have to find Elphaba." Glinda told her mother, grasping Fiyero's hand and leading him out of the room before anyone could object.

"Great; what do we do now?" Fiyero questioned, adjusting his jacket and speed-walking to Carole's parlor. He had no idea why but he always seemed to find the answers there. On the floor, there was the file that contained the accident that killed Elphaba's parents. He flipped through the papers and noted that only one thing was missing: Nanny's address.

"I know where we can start."
