It had been 2 days since Elijah reunited with Andrea and Elizabeth. Unfortunately, Andrea didn't give him anytime to be with her and avoided him altogether. He didn't blame her and thought her anger was justified. He wanted to speak to Katherine about their upcoming nuptials. He wanted to tell her that he couldn't marry her as he could not remain faithful to her as long as Andrea was in his life. But he would fullfill the promise he made to her about a utopian civilization consisting of elite vampires who could make a difference in the world.
He was determined to her the truth. He walked towards her chambers when he heard Klaus and Katherine talking. He immediately changed his mind. He couldn't talk about Andrea and Elizabeth in front of Klaus as he would murder them without a second thought. Klaus had done it earlier to the people to whom he got close to.
Elijah turned around and left. He would have to meet her some other time. He then thought about Andrea and her whereabouts in the castle. It suddenly struck him, she could be the same room as Katherine and Klaus. He headed back to Katherine's chamber and knocked. He was greeted by both Katherine and Klaus. Klaus asked," What brings you to the queen's chambers? I hope I am not interrupting an important session between the two of you " Klaus laughed and Katherine blushed but Elijah wasn't amused. He looked around the chamber but couldn't find Andrea anywhere. Klaus curiously asked him, " What or who are you looking for?" Both Katherine and Klaus looked at him for an answer. Elijah replied," No one brother, I was just making sure that nobody interrupted our meeting about the Strix". " Aah, your Utopian idea for a better society ", Klaus remarked. Katherine said, "Lovely dear, Klaus and I were just discussing expanding our little idea with a hybrid army to protect our little society. Elijah wasn't really paying attention and excused himself in search for Andrea and Elizabeth.
He saw Elizabeth near the stables, tending to horses. He came to talk to her. He asked her, "Do you like horses? Or have they forced you to work with them?" Elizabeth smiled at Elijah and answered his question," I love animals and I asked them if I could help with horses. I would really like to ride them." Elijah asked, " Don't you know how to ride a horse?" "Unfortunately, No. I never got a chance " Elizabeth answered. Elijah smiled and said, " Then I shall teach you how to. That maybe our first father daughter activity" Elizabeth hugged her father, after while Elijah let go of his daughter and asked her to keep their little secret. He left her in search of her mother. He wondered where she was.
Andrea was tired. She was tired of serving the queen. She had never been the type to serve anybody after all she was a princess herself or at least used to be. She had been doing odd things for the queen like making her bed, serving her food, putting out her clothes on the bed for the afternoon. Davina went through the same hell when she had to draw the queen a bath. Both the ladies had been independent from a young age and never liked to be babied and never liked to baby anyone. This job was infuriating. But Andrea did it because her baby got to be near her father. Though she wasn't speaking to Elijah but being near him gave her some peace. Davina did it because she wanted her family's happiness.
Andrea was doing yet another menial task of the queen, cleaning her chambers when she came across a document kept on the queen's dresser. She saw a bunch of names like a list but then she saw they were listed as Elijah's sires. She didn't comprehend it at first then it hit her. They were all the people that Elijah had converted into vampires. She saw few names under as Klaus' sires. But she didn't understand why would the queen have this list. She had to speak to Elijah even if it meant she had to let go of her stubborness.
She walked around the castle and finally came across Elijah. He smiled at her but she was not in the mood. She nodded towards the nearest room and both of them entered it. She didn't waste time and directly asked Elijah about the list. Elijah sighed before answering," Andrea, I have a dream about a society of intellectuals and dreamers whose minds when put together would make the idea of utopian society real" He continued, " Those names on the list are some important people who could bring about the necessary change in the dynamics for a perfectly functional civilization"
Andrea couldn't believe her ears what her Elijah had just said. She replied with disgust on her face " You actually believe that by converting people into vampires you could create a perfect civilization? What's wrong with you? Giving people power and immortality will only lead to corruption and destruction, Elijah!" Elijah was silent for a while before he replied, " That's where you are wrong, Andrea. There is a need for a better world. With less diseases, poverty and mindless violence. All this could be achieved through proper planning". Andrea wanted to shout some sense into him but realized it wasn't the right time. She couldn't make him see the fault in his plan until it was blatantly obvious. So she did what she could do at that moment. She left the room quietly without another word.
