The next day, at the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, Klaus gently walks down the stairs and into the courtyard where he sees a serving platter with beignets on the table.

Klaus slowly walks up to the table and looks at beignets and reads the index card.

Thank you for being there for me whenever I have my darkest days. Enjoy the beignets. Love you.
— Christy ;)
P.S. that's a winky face.

Klaus small smiles to himself.

"I assume that the beignets are you, Niklaus?" Elijah said, slowly walks up to his brother.

"It's Christy's way of expressing her gratitude." Klaus said.

Klaus and Elijah exchange small smiles at each other.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- CONFERENCE ROOM

Later that day, Christy slowly walks into the conference room where she sees Theseus and other imperial leaders. She looks around at everyone with a nervous expression on her face.

And Theseus sees Christy's nervousness and cheer her up by humorously teasing her. "Chief Advisor Christiana. How you grace us all with your humble presence."

Theseus and Christy and the imperial leaders exchange lightly chuckles amongst themselves.

Christy walks up next to Theseus and whispers. "Thanks for cheering me up, Theseus."

"You're welcome, Lady Christiana." Theseus said.

Elder God Cyrus slowly walks into the conference room. He and Christy exchange gentle nods at each other.

"Please, be seated." Elder God Cyrus said, sitting on the throne.

Theseus, Christy and the imperial leaders takes their seats at the table.

"So, let us address the obvious, the reason that this meeting was postponed was because of a personal matter which involved Chief Advisor Christiana's absence . . ." Elder God Cyrus trailed off, looking at his niece, Christy. ". . . And now, that it has been handled, this meeting can proceed."

"We all agreed, Your Majesty Cyrus." Theseus said.

"Theseus? Any reports?" Elder God Cyrus asked.

"Honorary Countess Gemma proceeds with her contributions in the District Trink faction." Theseus said.

"Is there a way to stop her?" Christy asked.

"Unfortunately no." Theseus said. "Gemma has power in the District Trink faction. And if anyone within the District tries to go against her, their will be harsh consequences."

"We must stop Honorary Countess Gemma and remove the District Trink faction from her cynical sly clutches." Elder God Cyrus said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Alright, this meeting is concluded." Elder God Cyrus said.

Theseus, Christy and the imperial leaders gets up and bows at Elder God Cyrus and walks away.

"Christiana?" Elder God Cyrus asked.

Christy looks at her Uncle Cyrus. "Yes, sir?"

"Stay with me, I would like your suggestion on something?" Elder God Cyrus said.

"Okay." Christy said and gently sits back down at the table.

"You should know that the Six Handmaiden Assistants and the housekeepers and housemaids talk about things." Elder God Cyrus said.

"I know." Christy said.

"Bryer and Tash are close to Gemma. They work with her within the District Trink faction. So, if we persuade them to remove themselves from Gemma's clutches, how would you suggest that we do such a thing?" Elder God Cyrus asked.

"I suggest to show Bryer and Tash who Gemma really is." Christy suggested. "She is obviously using the District Trink faction to gain more and more popularity. And when Gemma is no longer in power over the District Trink faction, Bryer and Tash should take over."

"Very good suggestion, Christiana." Elder God Cyrus said. "I will speak with the Elders about this."

"Okay." Christy said.

Christy gets up and pecks a kiss on her Uncle Cyrus's cheek, which makes him small smile. And she walks away.
