From a distance, Christy looks at the PEARL ORCHARD LOFT APARTMENT building as the renovations are being made.

[Christy Outfit]

"Thank you, Deary, for doing this." Agatha said to Christy.

"You both are welcome." said Christy. "The renovations may not take that long."

"Yeah, it may not." said Koah. "And with this cool weather, it might warm up a little bit."

"Yeah, it might warm up later on." Christy said. "I'll see you guys around."

"Alright." Agatha said.

Christy walks over to her four seater M-18 landspeeder and she drives away, driving over to the HOUSE OF DUQUESNE.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- HOUSE OF DUQUESNE

Outside in the palace courtyard, Princess Jaenarey Duquesne and Christy takes a stroll together with linked arms. Jaenarey's two bodyguards slowly walks a few feet behind them.

"I am pleased to have you here for breakfast, Lady Christiana." A happy Princess Jaenarey said.

"Yeah, you suggested it the last time we talked to each other." Christy said. "How are things with your parents?"

"My mother and Pa are usually attending to their duties in the throne room. Me, however, I have finished my duties a bit earlier so, that I can spend some time with you." Princess Jaenarey said.

Princess Jaenarey and Christy exchange small smiles and chuckles with each other.

Two housemaids have prepared breakfast at the patio gazebo.

Princess Jaenarey's grandmother, Lady Nita Duquesne, sits at the table already.

"Nana?" Princess Jaenarey said to her Grandmother Lady Nita Duquesne as she and Christy slowly walks into the patio gazebo. "I did not know that you were going to join me and Lady Christiana for our breakfast."

"It was last minute, Jaenarey darling." Lady Nita said and looks at Christy. "Hello, Lady Advisor Christiana."

"Hi, Lady Nita." Christy said. "It's good to see you."

"You as well." Lady Nita Duquesne said.

Jaenarey and Christy sits at the patio table across from Lady Nita and starts eating their plates of breakfast food.

"We do hope that you love your cheesecake crescent rolls, Lady Christiana." said Lady Nita said with a small polite smile.

"Cheesecake crescent rolls are my favorite." Christy said with a small smile, taking a cheesecake crescent roll and takes a bite of it.

"As we have been informed." Lady Nita Duquesne said with a small polite smile.
"I assume that you already know of the speculating rumors about Vardemas and Gemma."

"We both have, Nana." Princess Jaenarey said. "The Elders have already been informed."

Lady Nita looks at Christy. "Not to bring up past bygones, Lady Christiana, but is it true that Disgraced Lady Gemma has tried to murder you?"

Princess Jaenarey looks at her grandmother. "Nana?"

"It's okay, Jamey." Christy said to her best friend with a glance and looks at Lady Nita. "Yeah, it is true. There have been many enemies of Mount Orasani that have tried to murder me or to destroy my legendary status, but they have all failed. And yes, due to my immortality, I have died many times, but I have come back stronger than ever."

"Well, that is a relief to my ears." Lady Nita said. "No enemies of Mount Orasani would ever try to harm you, knowing full well what you are capable of."

"No, ma'am, Lady Nita." Christy said, taking a swig of her goblet of hot apple cider. "This apple cider is really good."

"Thank you, Lady Christiana. I made it myself to keep ourselves warm during this temporary cool weather." Lady Nita said.

"I assume that the House of Duquesne knows of my dark alter ego?" Christy mentioned.

"We do know of it, yes, and everyone else here at Mount Orasani." Princess Jaenarey said. "But it does not change our friendship, Lady Christiana. You will always be my dearest best friend."

"Nor your dark secret will make House of Duquesne lose our admiration of you, so, do not concern yourself with." Lady Nita said.

"I know." Christy said.

Lady Nita, Princess Jaenarey and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and continues eating their breakfast and drinking their apple cider.

- Third POV -

Later that afternoon, at the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, in Klaus's and Christy's room, Klaus sits on the floor, painting on his canvas painting with his painting materials.

Elijah slowly walks into the room and sees his brother painting. "Painting has always been your hobby, Niklaus."

"You could say that I'm quite in a motivational mood for painting." Klaus said and glances up at him. "I'm not a child, Elijah. You don't have to check on me every five minutes."

"I actually came to see you, if you were interested in getting some fresh air." Elijah said.

"I would have thought you would be spending some time with your wife, Ana." Klaus said.

"It did occur to me, but then, you suddenly occurred to me." Elijah said.

"Alright." Klaus said. He stopped painting and looks at Elijah as he gets up to his feet with his half-painted canvas painting. "You have my attention, now what? You take me out in the French Quarter for some brotherly time?"

Elijah lightly chuckles and so does Klaus.

"Perhaps." Elijah said with a small smile.

Klaus small smiles back at Elijah.

OUTDOOR CAFÉ

At an outdoor cafè, Klaus and Elijah sits at a table across from each other with their cocktail drinks.

"Well, this is a nice afternoon." Klaus said to Elijah.

"Yeah, it is." Elijah said.

"Alright, Elijah, what is it?" Klaus asked, gently folds his arms on the table. "Why did you really bring me out of our home?"

"To enjoy this afternoon." Elijah replied.

"Elijah?" Klaus said, giving his brother a look.

"You have changed, Niklaus." Elijah said. "Every time I look at you and Christy together, it makes me happy, knowing you have someone to come home to, to comfort you when you have your moments, to ease your mind."

Klaus's expression turns into a soften one. "Elijah, you have told me this many times before. Why do you keep bringing it up?"

"Because I am sincerely happy for you." Elijah said. "For a thousand years of knowing you, you have bettered yourself into this man, deep down, I have known you would become. And then, Christy comes into your life and she has made an influence on you. Surely, you will always be your usual self, but with Christy, her influence on you has made you a better man."

"Christy is the love of my life. Normally, I never apologize, but when it comes to her and what she thinks of me, I don't want Christy to despise me. Ever." Klaus said. "She's an extraordinary woman Christy is."

"Yes, she is." Elijah agreed.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- PEARL ORCHARD LOFT APARTMENT BUILDING

That late afternoon, Christy is with Koah and Agatha outside of the building.

"The renovators did a good job renovating the dome apartments into the loft apartment building." said Christy.

"Yes, they did." Koah said. "Well, I will see you ladies later." And walks away, heading towards the loft apartments.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go home myself." Agatha said.

"Yeah, it's cool out here, I'm gonna go home too." Christy said.

Agatha and Christy shares a hug and Agatha walks away. And Christy walks over to her M-18 landspeeder.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- THE FRENCH CHATEAU

That evening, in the main living room, Christy is crouched down in front of the fireplace. She gently put some logs in the fireplace and turns it on.

Housemaid Frances Rose slowly walks into the main living room. "Lady Christiana?"

Christy looks at Frances Rose. "Hey, Frances. Is everything okay?"

"You have an unexpected visitor." Frances Rose told her.

"Who is it?" Christy asked, getting up to her feet.

A Hooded figure slowly walks up next to housemaid Frances Rose and gently pulls off her hoodie, revealing Disgraced Lady Gemma Montjoy.

Christy flashes her eyes glow blue, magically summoning her bronze sword in her hand. "What the hell are you doing here, Gemma?"

Housemaid Frances Rose walks over to Christy. "Should I tell Theseus?"

"Yeah, go ahead, Fran." Christy said.

Housemaid Frances Rose walks away into the foyer and dials Theseus on the house telephone.

Yuewei and Nya slowly walks up on either side of Disgraced Lady Gemma Montjoy.

"I seek your assistance." Disgraced Lady Gemma said.

"Why would I help you after the bullshit you put me through the last time I saw you?" Christy asked.

"Because I have some information about Vardemas." Disgraced Lady Gemma told her.

"And my work duties are connected to The Elders." Christy said.

"Christiana?" Disgraced Lady Gemma said.

"You will address the Chief Advisor as "Lady Christiana?" Orasanian Royal Tailcoat Guardswoman Yuewei corrected Lady Christiana.

"Pardon me, Lady Christiana." Disgraced Lady Gemma said. "I need some assistance. I need protection from Vardemas."

Housemaid Frances Rose slowly walks back into the main living room. "I have Theseus everything, Milady Christiana.",

"Thank you, Frances." Christy said. And looks at Disgraced Lady Gemma. "I'm gonna turn you over to The Elders."
