- Third POV -

The next day, at the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, after finishing his canvas painting, Klaus fell asleep on the bed. He stirs awake upon seeing two beignets on a plate with a note card.

He gently sits up straight on the side of the bed and gently takes the note card and reads it.

Good morning. Enjoy your fresh beignets. I'll see you later for our date. Xoxo
P.S. For our date, which one?
Sitting room at the palace? Or our usual restaurant The Olive?

Klaus smiles to himself and gently takes a beignet and takes a bite and eats it.

Now, in the courtyard, at the second floor balcony railing, Klaus is gently leaning on the railing, on the phone with Christy.

"Will I be able to see you for our date?" Christy asked on the phone.

"Perhaps, if nothing comes up at the last minute." Klaus said. "Everything seems quiet for now, but you and I know better."

"Yeah, we do. Maybe, I should cancel our date." Christy said.

"Absolutely not, you said you would take me on a date, I'm gonna hold you to that, Love." Klaus said.

Christy chuckled softly on the phone. "Okay. I'll see you later."

"By the way, I liked the beignets that you left for me." Klaus said.

"I'm glad you liked them." Christy said.

"And the answer to your note card question is our usual restaurant." Klaus replied.

"Okay, I'll see you later, love you." Christy said.

"Love you too." Klaus said.

And Christy hangs up her phone.

Ana slowly walks up next to Klaus. "Planning another cute date together?"

"Christy is." Klaus said.

"You know, things are calm for now." Ana said.

"Let's hope it remains that way." Klaus said.

"Yeah." Ana said.

"Everything is fine for now." Christy said. "The Supreme Loyalists have their meetings at the parliament."

"Is that everything that we need to do?" Bassea asked.

"Yeah." Christy said and looks at both Vek and Bassea. "You both know that you two work with me as my assistants, right?"

"Yeah, we know." Vek said. "Why do you ask?"

"Just wanted to remind myself, I guess." Christy said.

"Oh." Vek said.

Christy, Vek and Bassea exchange lightly chuckles with each other.

"How are Arian and Ollie?" Christy asked.

"They're good." Vek replied with a small smile. "Ollie has been crawling around and practicing toddling with Arian observing."

"Aww, Arian is a great big sister." Christy said.

"Yeah, she is." Bassea said.

"You guys are dismissed." Christy said to Vek and Bassea.

Vek and Bassea gets up and walks away, exiting the parliament office.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- HAGARTH'S TAVERN

That afternoon, Jun, Zhang and Christy sits in a table booth with their cocktail drinks, taking sips of their drinks through straws.

"I can't believe that Odessa transferred that much money into our accounts." Zhang said, bewildered. "I mean, how the hell does she know about our accounts?"

"I don't know." Christy said. "I wanted to give it back, but she wanted me to keep it."

"Well, let's just be thankful that we have this money gift from Odessa. Even though, we didn't ask for it, it was given to us as a gift." Jun said.

"Jun is right." Christy said. "We should enjoy the things we have."

"Exactly." Zhang agreed.

Jun, Zhang and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and continues their friendly conversation.

- Third POV -

At the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, in Luna's room, Luna and Trinity Mikaelson, along with their cousin, Nikole, sits on Luna's bed, watching an animated mythology story of their mother, Christy Mikaelson, entitled, "The Story of Christiana Mikaelson - The Greatest Orasanian Warrior Heroine".

The animated mythology story is being displayed from Luna's mini projector and is shown on a wall. It discusses when Christy was a little baby, to her early warrior training as a kid through her teenhood, her young adulthood, and leading up to her legendary status, the battles she fought in and the enemies she defeated.

"Cousin Christy is very popular." Nikole said.

"Yeah, she is." Trinity said, looking through historical textbooks of her mother. "Mom is everywhere in these mythology history textbooks."

"And you can even search the internet for Mom too." Luna said on her laptop.

Klaus slowly walks into Luna's room and looks at his daughters and Nikole. "What are you girls up to?"

"Reading about Mom." Trinity said.

"Your mother is a mythological icon." Klaus said, sitting on the ottoman.

"She's in the Orasanian history textbooks, their pages and pictures of her. The battles she fought in, everything." Luna said.

"You can search her on the Internet under 'Orasanian historical figures and icons too.' Nikole added, showing her cousin, Klaus, Luna and Trinity some Internet portraits of Christy.

"But we also understand why Mom keeps her legendary status a low-profile and why she doesn't want me and Luna to be special." Trinity said.

"Your mother made it perfectly clear that she wants the two of you to be your own persons and not be seen as the daughters of the Orasanian Legend." Klaus said.

"We know, Dad and we get it." Luna said.

"You're popular too, Dad." Trinity said.

Klaus looks surprised. "I am."

"Yeah, your paintings." Trinity said.

Klaus, Luna, Trinity and Nikole exchange chuckles with each other.

That evening, Klaus and Christy are dressed up for their date. He wears his usual dark tieless suit. The husband and wife eats their meatball curry with their red wine.

"Luna, Trinity and Nikole were reading about you in the Orasanian historical textbooks." Klaus said.

"They were?" Christy said.

"They were, yeah." Klaus said. "It amazes me that you have two reputations, here at Mount Orasani and then, in the French Quarter."

"Yeah, but I keep in on a low-profile though." Christy said.

"I know." Klaus said. "You told me that you felt like a fraud and fake because of your dark alter ego and yet, everyone praises you."

Christy looks a bit dejected. "Yeah, I do sometimes. But I'm over it. I'm still me."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"You really have made something special for yourself, Chris." Klaus said.

"Yeah, I have." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and lightly chuckles with each other, enjoying their date.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That night, after their passionate intimacy, Klaus and Christy lays in bed, shirtless tattooed, with his boxer briefs and her undies, with the bedcover covering the lower half of his body and her torso and lower half of her body.

Their evening clothes lays on the floor next to their bed.

Christy gently rests her head on Klaus's chest with his arm gently wrapped around her torso. He gently traces her mystical medallion tattoo on her back- side right shoulder with his index finger.

"I always love your mystic medallion tattoos." Klaus said.

"Your tattoos are cool too." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange lightly chuckles with each other.

Christy gently sits up straight and looks at Klaus. "There's this place at the French chateau. It's like this dome thing, it's pretty cool. It's in the backyard."

"We'll check it out when I get a chance to." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"You really have become a better man, Klaus." Christy said. "And sometimes you're a pain in the ass."

"I'm a pain to everyone, even to my siblings." Klaus humorously teased.

Klaus and Christy exchange lightly chuckles with each other. She gently bops his nose with her index finger and gently lays next to him with his arm still wrapped around her shoulders.

"T'estimo." ( "I love you." ) Klaus spoke in the ancient Orasanian language with a small smile.

"Jo també t'estimo." ( "I love you too." ) Christy spoke in the ancient Orasanian language.

The Epic Love Soulmates exchange small smiles at each other.

⚜️⚜️

Minute after, Klaus and Christy had fallen asleep with him gently spooning her from behind. He opens his eyes and small smiles to himself, appreciative of the happiness he has in his life.

And with that, he goes back to sleep.
