- Third POV -

In the FRENCH QUARTER, Klaus is out and about on the phone with his wife, Christy, as he walks on the sidewalk.

"Sorry that I won't be able to make it to the carnival today." Klaus said.

"It's okay, Klaus. I get it, you have other troubles to handle." Christy said in understanding.

"I'll find a way to make it up to you." Klaus said.

"Okay, well, uh, good luck with stopping Annalisa. Don't let her get to you or mess with you or Elijah." Christy said.

"I won't. And besides, the only woman that can mess with me is you." Klaus said with a chuckle.

Christy playfully laughs on the phone and Klaus chuckled.

"I'll see you later, Little Enchantress." Klaus said. "I love you."

"I love you too, Honey." Christy said.

Klaus hangs up his phone and puts his phone in jacket pocket. He then, looks in a nearby window and sees Annalisa's reflection.

Klaus looks across the road from him and sees Annalisa sly grin at him. The two of them exchange tense looks at each other. A few cars passes by and Annalisa disappeared.

Klaus walks away, going back to the Mikaelson Compound.

MIKAELSON
COMPOUND

In the study, Klaus told Elijah and Rebekah about Annalisa.

"So, Annalisa is here, in the French Quarter?" Rebekah asked.

"She's here." Klaus answered, standing behind an armchair, gently leaning on it. "I saw her yesterday myself when she was here."

"I saw her myself as well." Rebekah said.

"And according to what you and Niklaus told me of this Annalisa woman, she appears in her human form to fool others, but at nighttime, she transforms herself into the Turok-Han vampire." Elijah said.

"What does she want?" Rebekah asked.

"She has taken interest in me." Klaus answered. "She spoke in this ancient language. But she was more than shocked when I spoke in ancient language."

"You still know ancient languages, don't you, Niklaus?" Elijah asked.

"Of course, including the ancient Orasanian language and other ancient languages that Christy taught me." Klaus replied.

Klaus and Elijah exchange small smiles at each other.

"We need to come up with a plan to defeat Annalisa before she somehow manages to strike at us." Elijah said.

"I agree." Klaus agreed with his brother. "But do we think we make a weapon against Annalisa?"

"Do we still have that ultraviolet sphere bomb thing?" Rebekah asked. She looks at her brother. "Nik? I saw you fiddling with it?"

"Yes, we still have it." Klaus said. "I put it in the drawer in the desk, but I don't think we can somehow, make it into a weapon."

"Maybe, Mathias and Freya could come up with some ideas." Elijah said and walks away.

Klaus and Rebekah exchange looks at each other.

"Does Christy know about Annalisa?" Rebekah asked.

"She does." Klaus told his sister. "There are no secrets between us."

"Good. Keep it that way, for Christy's sake. Elijah nor myself, wouldn't want anything to destroy your blissful life with her." Rebekah said.

"I know." Klaus said.

"I'll call Kol, see if he can come by." Rebekah said, getting up and walks away with her phone.

Christy takes a stroll with her two Handmaiden Assistants, Lisabeth and Eve, accompanied by her two Orasanian Royal Guardswomen Yuewei and Nya.

Some Orasanian citizens bows their heads at Christy and she bows her head back to them with a small smile, walking by each other.

Christy takes a bite of her paper- wrapped churros. "Is this necessary, Yuewei?"

"It is necessary, Milady Christiana. Myself and Nya have been assigned by your parents to protect you." Yuewei said.

"Speaking of my parents, are the Elders around here?" Christy asked.

"They are." Yuewei answered.

From afar, Triotcus and Aediphae are with Luna and Trinity are with the kids group and the demigods and demigoddess.

Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange looks at each other and exchange small waves at each other.

"This is really a big carnival." Christy said.

"It is, Milady Advisor." Nya said.

"Are you ladies sure that you don't want anything to eat or something?" Christy asked.

Nya small smiles at Christiana. "We appreciate your concern for us and your offer of refreshments, Lady Christiana. But I assure you we are well."

"Okay." Christy said and takes another bite of her churros.

And Christy continues her stroll with her two Handmaiden Assistants, Lisabeth and Eve, and with her two Orasanian Royal Guardswomen Yuewei and Nya, enjoying the rest of the carnival festivities.

"Lady Christiana?" Bassea said.

Christy looks at Vek, Bassea and Jaenarey. "Hey, you guys. I'm sure that the three of you know about my inner circle posse with the three of you?"

"We do." Vek said.

"Warrior Princess Jaenarey? Vek and Bassea work with me as my colleagues, so, I was wondering if you would like to be apart of my inner circle too? But you want to though." Christy asked.

Jaenarey small smiles at Christy. "I would be honored to be apart of your inner circle posse, Lady Christiana."

"Thanks, you guys." Christy said.

Vek, Bassea and Jaenarey bows their heads at Christy and she bows her back at them. The four of them exchange small smiles at each other.

- Third POV -

That evening, in the FRENCH QUARTER, Klaus takes a stroll on the sidewalk. He stopped walking upon sensing someone following him.

So, he vamp-sped his stalker into a nearby alleyway. The stalker is Annalisa.

"Stop following me." Klaus told her with an annoyed expression on his face.

"I want to make you an offer." Annalisa said to him.

"I have no interest in whatever you offer me, Annalisa, so, go away and leave me alone." Klaus told her with a straight face.

Annalisa pins Klaus against the alleyway with her hands on his chest. "I assume that you know of me. I am a Queen with no King. I can give you anything you want. Even your desire."

"Your offer sounds intriguing, Annalisa, but I'm not interested." Klaus told her with a serious expression on his face and gently removes himself from her clutches.

"You're a very hard man to please, Klaus Mikaelson." Annalisa said with a sly grin.

"I didn't tell you my name." Klaus said.

"You didn't have to, the supernatural community despises you greatly." Annalisa said and slowly walks around behind him. "You and I could be a duo. You and I could rule together as King and Queen of the French Quarter. I can give you what you always wanted."

"And what, exactly, do I always wanted?" Klaus asked, turning his face to her.

"A werewolf army." Annalisa tells him and slowly walks back around in front of him. "I have the power to do so. Become my King, Klaus Mikaelson, and I shall give you anything. With me by your side, no one will ever despise you again. The supernatural community will be our kingdom."

Klaus looks at Annalisa, pretending to be interested in her offer. "You make an interesting offer."

Klaus and Annalisa exchange looks at each other. And Klaus's expression turns into a serious expression as he pins Annalisa against a brick wall with her back against the brick wall.

"But I already have a Queen." Klaus told her, referring to his wife, Christy. "So, stay the bloody hell away from me."

Klaus and Annalisa exchange tense looks at each other and he walks away.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- PALACE GRAND FOYER

Later that night, Christy slowly wanders into the grand foyer. A portal appears in the grand foyer, drawing attention from Christy.

Klaus steps through the portal. He and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Hello, Love." Klaus said with the portal closes behind him.

Christy looks at her husband, Klaus, and small smiles at her. "Hey, Klaus."

Klaus and Christy shares a hug and exchange small smiles at each other.

"How was the carnival?" Klaus asked.

"It was good." Christy said. "The carnival is still at the city square. We can still go before it's done."

"Alright." Klaus said.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- CITY SQUARE

With a few minutes for the carnival, some Orasanian citizens are enjoying the last few minutes of the carnival.

Klaus and Christy gently holds each other's hands, taking a stroll together with Orasanian Guardswomen Yuewei and Nya slowly follows them.

"Luna and Trinity told me that they enjoyed themselves at the carnival today and they also saw you." Klaus said.

"I'm glad they enjoyed the carnival." Christy said. "So, how is everything going with the French Quarter?"

"Everything is usual." Klaus tells her. "Annalisa continues to entice me."

"What do you mean?" Christy asked.

"She made an offer, about giving me anything I wanted. She and I become a duo and rule together as King and Queen of the French Quarter. I immediately turned her down." Klaus told Christy. "She's ridiculously crazy if she thought I would ever do such a thing."

"It sounds like she's trying to tempt you with things." Christy said.

"Yeah, well, I didn't fall for whatever she has." Klaus said.

"So, you weren't at least, a little bit tempted by Annalisa's offer?" Christy said.

"No, I wasn't." Klaus said. "Because I'm happy and I appreciate what I already have with you."

"I know." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy shares a passionate kiss and they continue their stroll together with the Orasanian Guardswomen Yuewei and Nya slowly follows them.

"By the way, like the gown. You look beautiful as always." Klaus said.

"Thanks." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange chuckles with each other and continues their stroll together.
