HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- PARLIAMENT BUILDING OFFICE

The next day, Christy is sitting behind the desk, with her binder and laptop, writing down some notes.

[Christy Outfit]

The door automatically slides open and Bassea walks inside the office.

"Hey, Christiana." Bassea greeted her.

"Hey, Bassea." Christy greeted her back. "You have anything?"

"Not yet." Bassea replied, sitting in the sofa chair with her holographic clipboard. "However, I did check on the bar graph of the investments and everything is good."

"Well, that's good." Christy said.

Christy's laptop buzzes and incoming video chat.

Video chat : Luna

"I'll meet Vek in the dining hall." Bassea said, getting up and excuses herself as she walks away.

Christy answers her video chat on her laptop and Luna and Trinity shows up on the laptop screen.

"Hey, sweethearts." Christy greeted both her daughters.

"Hey, Mom." Trinity greeted her back with a small smile. "We heard about the magnaline airbus from yesterday afternoon. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Christy reassured her daughters. "You both have notifications on the Mount Orasani news, don't you?"

"Yeah, we do. Our laptops notifies." Luna said.

"Where are you guys?" Christy asked.

"In the dining room, snacking on some beignets." Luna said.

"Where's your father?" Christy asked.

"He's out and about in the French Quarter. We can tell that something's bothering him, but we don't ask." Trinity said.

"Yeah, something is always bothering your father and he's not much of an opened person." Christy said. "I have to go now."

"Okay. We'll tell Dad that you asked about him. Love you, Mom." Trinity said.

"Love you too." Christy said.

And Luna hangs up the video chat. And Christy gently closes her laptop.

PALACE ROOFTOP GARDEN

Later that day, Christy slowly walks onto the rooftop garden where her mother, The Elder Goddess, Nadia, is, watering the plants and flowers with a watering can.

Nadia and Christy exchange looks at each other and they small wave at each other.

Christy slowly walks up to her mother. "Watering plants and flowers?"

"Yeah. Plants and flowers needs air, water, soil and sunlight it needs to grow." Nadia said. And looks at her daughter. "Your father has been requesting you in the meetings in the conference room."

"Yeah, he's been grooming me for leadership." Christy said.

"I know." Nadia said, finishing up watering the plants and flowers and gently sets down the watering can on the table. "The question is, do you want to become a leader yourself?"

"I don't know, Mom. I'm already popular with my legendary status and my reputation and then, I'm Chief Advisor to the Elders. So, I don't know." Christy said.

"Take a stroll with me." Nadia said.

Christy small smiles at her mother and slowly walks alongside her as they take a stroll together around the garden.

"You know, when you were a child, you had only one goal; to become an Orasanian Warrior. You took your warrior training seriously. Your father and I knew that it's what you wanted." Nadia said.

"What does the Elders talk about?" Christy asked.

"We talk about strategies, plans and other subjects." replied Nadia to her daughter. "I need you to report to Theseus and receive a flashdrive from him. The Great Neighbors will be visiting here for a meeting in the parliament building. I request your presence to be there."

"I'll be there, Mom." Christy said.

"Christiana?" Nadia said to her as they stopped walking and faces each other. "We Elders wanted to say how proud we are to have you as our Chief Advisor. We know that you've served us for many months."

"As Chief Advisor, it's been my duty to serve The Elders." Christy said.

Nadia gently caress her daughter's cheek with her hand. "Giannis told your father and I about what happened with the magnaline airbus. You should be more careful with your strength."

"I am." Christy reassured her.

Nadia and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and they resume their stroll together.

- Third POV -

Later that afternoon, at the Mikaelson Compound, Klaus slowly walks into the courtyard. His phone buzzes in his pants pocket.

He takes out his phone and looks at it. It's a text message from Trinity.

Klaus small smiles to himself and then, his small smiles fades as he senses he's not alone in the courtyard.

"Hello, Charlotte." Klaus greeted her as he turns around to look at his resurrected crazy ex-girlfriend.

Charlotte sits on the couch, giving him a look. "How did you know I was here?"

"You smell like death." Klaus said with a sly smirk, turning off his phone and putting it back in his pants pocket.

"Ouch, that hurts." Charlotte said, with an unfazed expression on her face.

"What are you doing here, Charlotte? To bother me? To annoy me?" Klaus asked.

"I just wanted to see you, that's all." Charlotte told him. "Last time you saw me, you pushed me away and I didn't like that."

"Sorry if I hurt your feelings, Love." Klaus said to her.

And Charlotte vamp-sped up to him and gently puts her hand on his chest, which he grabs her hand.

"Don't touch me." Klaus said to her.

"You let Christy touch you." Charlotte said with a fake pout.

"She's my wife." Klaus told her. "Now, leave my house."

"And what if I don't? What are you gonna do?" Charlotte said with her face an inch from his. "Spank me?"

Klaus and Charlotte exchange tense looks at each other.

"Leave. Now." Klaus told her.

"Alright then, I'll leave. But I'll see you around though." Charlotte said and vamp-sped away.

And Klaus sighs to himself.

THE GREAT HALL

That evening, everyone is sitting at the tables, eating their food and with their silver Julep cups of drinks.

Christy, Vek and Bassea are sitting across from each other at a table with their plates of food and Julep cups of drinks.

Little Baby Arian is in her stroller, asleep, with earmuffs.

"Vek? Bassea? I'm gonna need the two of you to meet with the Supreme Loyalists at the parliament building office. I'm gonna be with the Elders in the meeting with the Great Neighbors." Christy told her personal assistants.

"Okay." Vek said.

Christy's phone buzzes in her pants pocket. She takes out her phone and looks at it.

Video chat: Klaus

Christy excuses herself and walks over to a pillar and gently leans sideways on it as she answers her video chat and Klaus's face shows up on the phone screen.

"Hey, Hon." Christy greeted her husband with a small smile.

"Hello, Love." Klaus greeted her back. "I received your message from our youngest daughter, Trinity. She said that you asked for me."

"Yeah, about that. I wanted to ask you if you're okay?" Christy asked.

"I'm fine." Klaus reassured her.

"Are you sure?" Christy asked, concerned. "Because when I spoke to Luna and Trinity, they said that something was bothering you, but they don't ask you." She added. "So, I'm asking you?"

"I appreciate your concern, Christy. I do. But I assure you that you have nothing to worry about." Klaus reassured her with a small smile. "And besides, I'm a grown man. I can take care of myself."

Christy chuckles softly and so does he.

"And to also tell you, I had an encounter with Charlotte." Klaus told her.

"Really, when?" Christy asked.

"Afternoon. She was here in the courtyard of the compound." Klaus told her.

"She didn't come on to you, did she?" Christy asked.

"She tried, but I told her to leave. Not to worry, I can handle her." Klaus said. "Enough about me, how are you? How's everything going at Mount Orasani?"

"I have to go to a meeting in the parliament building with the Elders. The Great Neighbors are gonna be here tomorrow." Christy told him.

"Well, it's been a few days since I've seen you and our daughters haven't seen their mother, except for video chats." Klaus said.

"I know, but you guys can visit." Christy said. "I'm pretty sure Luna and Trinity will be at the Camp Orasani with the children's group."

"Yeah, I know. I have to go, I video chatted with you to ease your concern with me." Klaus said.

"I appreciate your video chat call, Klaus. Love you." Christy said.

"Love you too." Klaus said, and hangs up his video chat.

Christy puts her phone back in her pants pocket and walks back over to the table where Vek and Bassea are and sits back down at the table, and resumes eating.
