Chapter Seven
MIKAELSON COMPOUND
The next day, in the courtyard, Ana and Christy sits in lounge sofa chairs, eating a platter of churros, croissants and bacon.
[Christy Outfit]
"So, you flew your starship here to New Orleans?" Ana said.
"Yeah, it's at the hangar." Christy said. "Alright, Ana, what's the scoop?"
"Well, Finn and Sage are gone back to Marcalos's Underworld. And The Nightshade Vampires have been destroyed." Ana tells Christy, eating a croissant.
"Yeah, Zenith told me about the Nightshade Vampire coven." Christy said.
"Hi, Mom." Luna greeted.
Christy turns around in her chair and sees her daughters, Luna and Trinity, and smiles.
"Hey, girls." Christy greeted her daughters. "Heading off to the Camp Orasani?"
"With the kids group, yeah." Trinity replied.
"Alright." Christy said.
Trinity activates a portal with the octagon-shaped teleportation device. She and Luna walks through the portal and it closes.
Christy's phone buzzes in her pants pocket. She takes out her phone and looks at it.
Caller ID: Theseus
Christy answers her phone. "Theseus?"
"You are being requested, Lady Christiana." Theseus said on the phone.
"Okay, I'm on my way." Christy said and hangs up her phone. "Ana? I gotta go."
"Alright." Ana said.
And Christy golden-dust teleported away.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- PILLAR ATRIUM
Later that day, Christy slowly walks into the pillar atrium and looks around.
"Theseus?" Christy said.
"Not exactly." said Gemma, grabbing Christy from behind, holding her in a headlock.
"Gemma? What the hell are you doing here?" Christy asked.
"Isn't it obvious? You're trapped." Gemma tells her.
And Gemma puts a washcloth on Christy's face, knocking her out with a chloroform. Christy collapses on the floor.
shortly after...
Christy regains her consciousness and finds herself laying on the floor of the pillar atrium. She looks at a blood- stained blade that she is holding in her hand.
Christy becomes confused and looks at a dead body of a Venetian spywoman with multiple stab wounds on her stomach.
"Oh my gosh." Christy said, bewilderedly.
Christy drops the blood-stained blade on the floor and backs away in horror, backing up against a pillar.
Dementrio, Interpol Agent Jun Lee and two Orasanian Guardsmen walks into the pillar atrium and looks at Christy.
"Christiana?" Dementrio said.
"Dementrio? Jun?" Christy said.
"What the fuck happened?" Jun asked.
"I don't know, but Gemma was here." Christy told them. "I know what this looks like, but please, let me explain."
⚜️⚜️
Minutes after, still in the PILLAR ATRIUM, a freaked out Christy sits on the bench next to Dementrio.
"Christiana? Just calm down and tell me what happened." Dementrio said.
"I got a call from Theseus. He said I was being requested, so, I came to the pillar atrium through my golden-dust teleportation. I looked for him and suddenly, Gemma showed up. I asked what she was doing there at the pillar atrium and she said it was a trap. She knocked me out with chloroform and next thing I know, I woke up with a dead body of a Venetian spywoman and a blood-stained blade. I immediately dropped it." Christy explained to Dementrio.
"You're being framed, Christiana." Dementrio said.
"I know." Christy said.
Interpol Agent Jun walks up to Dementrio with an evidence bag with the blood-stained blade. "I had the blade tested for an DNA analysis, Christiana's fingerprints on the hilt of the blade."
"What?!" Christy exclaimed.
"How is that possible?" Dementrio asked.
"I assume that Gemma was wearing a pair of gloves when she chloroformed Christiana." Jun told him.
"Oh, shit." Christy said. "How did the Venetian spywoman get here anyway?"
"Gemma must've found a way to contact." Dementrio said.
"I'm in so much trouble." Christy said.
"Christiana? Try not to worry yourself. Serafine, Jun and I will handle this." Dementrio said. "Just try to remain calm."
"Okay, I'm calm." Christy said.
"Lady Christiana?" Theseus said, walking up to her. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm in trouble." Christy told him with a worried look.
"It's more than that." Jun said, walking up to them both. "It's on the news channel."
Jun turns on the news channel on the wall-mounted TV. The TV shows the news channel with the headline, CHIEF ADVISOR, CHRISTIANA MIKAELSON, ACCUSED OF MURDER OF VENETIAN SPYWOMAN.
"Oh my gosh." Christy said, looking at the news channel. "Is this everywhere, Jun?"
"It's being broadcast at the broadcasting center right now." Jun told her.
On the news channel, Gemma is at the podium, talking about Christiana Mikaelson.
"Your Chief Advisor, Christiana Mikaelson, murdered a Venetian spywoman in the pillar atrium. Now, if I am not mistaken, the Venetians will know of this. Christy is unfit to be your Chief Advisor and I ask you all for a change of your vote. I, Gemma, will be your Chief Advisor." Gemma addressed Stella Patel and the press journalists.
"What? That's bullshit. She can't do that." Christy said.
"Christiana? Your fingerprints were on the murder weapon; the blade." Jun tells her.
Jun and Christy exchange worried looks at each other. Christy looks around at the businessman and businesswomen who watches the news channel and they look at her.
And Christy becomes worried.
The Elder God Ames and Elder Goddess Nadia slowly walks into the pillar atrium.
"Mom? Dad?" Christy said.
"What is the meaning of this?" Elder Goddess Nadia asked.
"We do not know, Your Highness Nadia, but I'm afraid, that we must do our job." Dementrio said.
"Wait, what?" Christy said.
Dementrio gets up and gently takes a pair of binder cuffs. "Lady Christiana?"
"Dementrio?" Christy said, looking up at him with a worried look on her face.
"I am sorry, Lady Christiana, but I must." Dementrio said.
Christy gets up to her feet. And Dementrio gently puts the binder cuffs on her wrist.
"Christiana Mikaelson? You are apprehended for murder. As for now, you are hereby no longer the Chief Advisor and your title will be revoked." Dementrio said and looks at Jun Lee. "Jun? Please escort Christiana to the palace guard house."
Jun and Christy exchange worried looks at each other.
"Dementrio? We both know that Christiana didn't do this and she's being framed." Jun said.
"I know." Dementrio said. "But we cannot let our friendship with her compromise our duties."
"Dementrio is right, Juny." Christy said.
Jun takes Christy by her arm and walks away with her. Christy looks around at everyone as she walks away with Interpol Agent Jun Lee.
"Theseus?" Elder God Ames said.
"Yes, Your Majesty Ames?" Theseus said.
"Fix this." Elder God Ames told him.
"Yes, Majesty Ames." Theseus said.
"And question Gemma as well." Elder Goddess Nadia added. "We will not let this false murder go on."
"Yes, Your Highness Nadia." Theseus said and walks away.

- Third POV -
That late afternoon, at the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, Ana slowly walks into the study with her phone. Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah are in the study as well.
"Ana? What is it?" Rebekah asked.
"It's Christy. She's been apprehended for murder." Ana told them.
"What?" Rebekah said, shocked.
"How?" Klaus asked.
"I don't know, but according to Theseus, she's been framed." Ana told them.
"This must be someone trying to hurt Christy's legendary status." Rebekah said.
"This is the third time that someone has tried to go after Christy's legendary status." Elijah said.
Klaus walks away.
"Nik? Where are you going?" Rebekah asked.
Klaus stopped walking at the doorway of the study and looks at Elijah, Rebekah and Ana. "I'm going to pack, I suggest you all do the same."
And Klaus walks away.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- PALACE GUARDHOUSE
Later that evening, Christy wears a pair of binder cuffs and sits at the integration table in the interrogation room.
The door opens; Interpol Agent Jun Lee walks into the integration room. He slowly walks up to her and sits down across from her at the table.
"What's gonna happen, Jun?" Christy asked.
"You're gonna be escorted to the penitentiary where many bad people are." Jun said. "And Theseus has informed me that your husband, Klaus, and the others are on their way here by private charter."
"I didn't do this, Jun." Christy said. "I didn't, this was Gemma. Stella warned me that Gemma was planning something and so, I warned Gemma not to do anything because it wasn't gonna work out for her."
"Obviously, Gemma is framing you for something that she did." Jun said.
"You don't believe any of this, right?" Christy said.
"Of course I don't, and neither does Dementrio and Serafine or everyone else here at Mount Orasani." Jun reassured her.
"So, why am I sensing a "but", Jun?" Christy asked.
"Because your fingerprints were found on the murder weapon, which was the blood-stained blade, you will be removed as the Chief Advisor and your title will be temporarily revoked." Jun told her.
"Damnit." Christy said.
"Dementrio, Serafine and I are so sorry that this is happening to you." Jun apologized.
"I know you are." Christy said.
"As of right now, you can't go back to the palace or to the French Chateau, so, I'll have Yuewei bring a pillow and a blanket." Jun said.
"I'm gonna sleep in a prison cell?" Christy asked.
Jun looks at Christy with a glum expression on his face. "Yeah, but just for tonight."
Christy sighs to herself.
Jun slowly walks up next to her and gently puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Dementrio, Serafine and I are working on this. Just remain positive." Jun said. "Love you."
"Love you too, Juny." Christy said.
Jun walks away, walking out of the integration room.
