Christy listens to some electro-pop instrumental music through her earbuds on her phone, with her word search puzzle book.

On the TV, it has the headlines, CHRISTIANA MIKAELSON RESIGNS FROM CHIEF ADVISOR; FORMER PEVANSHIRE PRINCESS QUINN BECOMES NEW CHIEF ADVISOR

Christy looks up at the TV and looks at the news channel and headlines. She becomes annoyed.

"Son of a bitch." Christy said, a bit frustrated.

Christy's phone buzzes on the table. She picks up her phone and looks at it.

It's Theseus on the wrist comm screen.

Christy answers her phone. "Theseus?"

"I tried to stop it Christiana, but Quinn is the Chief Advisor." Theseus tells her on the phone.

"So, now what?" Christy asked.

"I will figure it out." Theseus said. "In the meantime, just remain positive."

"I will." Christy said.

And Theseus hangs up his phone. And Christy resumes her word search puzzle book, taking a swig of her caramel latte.

"Yeah, I'll be okay." Christy reassured her oldest daughter.

"Will you get your Chief Advisor position back?" Trinity asked.

"Hopefully, I will." Christy said. "How about we and your father get something to eat at Hagarth's Tavern later?"

"Yeah, sure." Trinity replied.

"I'll tell Dad." Luna said.

"Hello, Milady Christiana. Your father is asking for you in the study office in the palace." Theseus said.

"I'll be there." Christy said, and hangs up her wrist comm. She glances at her daughters. "Lu? Trini? Tell your father I'll meet you guys at Hagarth's Tavern."

"Okay." Luna said.

"Yeah, well, I didn't want to, but I had to." Christy said. "And by the way, temporarily resign?"

Theseus and Christy stopped walking and looks at each other.

"You do understand that your parents did not want you to give up your Chief Advisor position, right?" Theseus said.

"Yeah, I understand." Christy said. "Is that why my Dad wants to talk to me in the study office?"

"Your father will explain everything." Theseus said.

"My legendary reputation has gotten me in trouble." Christy said.

"I don't think so." Klaus said.

"What do you mean?" Christy asked.

"You're the Greatest Orasanian Warrior Heroine and I think your legendary reputation has sprung up this nonsense with the enemies of Mount Orasani." Klaus said. "I've seen you at your best, I've seen you whenever you have a setback. Your legendary reputation isn't getting you in trouble, Chris, I think the enemies of Mount Orasani knows how good you are and they know that you're undefeated."
