— Flashback—

It was the year 1492...

The Mikaelsons threw a lavish party, in England, to lure in their highly important guest — the doppelgänger to serve as a sacrifice in Klaus' creepy hybrid ritual.

Standing casually along the wall of the main room, in the castle-like mansion, was Arya Valencia — heir to the esteemed (or as Arya liked to call him: "pretentious") Antonio Valencia of the Royal Valencia Coven.

As the party went on, Arya's blood relatives indulged themselves in the appraisal they received from the guests of lower classes while she spent her time mocking their ostentatious actions.

That was, until Elijah Mikaelson's voice grabbed their attention.

"Katerina, I would like to introduce you to the royal family de Valencia"

As a form of polite introduction, Katerina bowed before them.

Antonio Valencia merely nodded with a smug glint in his eye, in response.

This prompted an eye-roll from Arya who watched the exchange from across the room.

A simple gesture, such as the one Katerina displayed, heavily boosted her father's ego and he was quite obvious about it.

Out of the corner of his eye, Elijah Mikaelson caught Arya's eye-roll which prompted a ghost of a smile to appear on his face.

"Your last name is Valencia? Is that of Latin origin?", Katerina asked Antonio.

Before her family could respond, Arya decided to approach the lot of them cutting in with the response, "Yes, darling. But, evidently, the last few generations of our family found England better suited for us to reside in. I-"

Arya was going to continue until she felt a laceration start to form on her shoulder blade just beneath her dress causing her to let out a sharp wince.

Knowing who caused the cut, Arya turned towards her father seeing a sneer on his face. He had a knack for doing the most subtle (but affective) wounding spells without anyone knowing.

Shooting him a glare, Valencia turned back towards the Petrova girl who seemed confused by the interaction.

"I'm afraid that's a story for another time, darling."

To deter any inquiry from Katerina, Arya thought it best to steer the conversation in a different direction.

"The name Katerina...is it safe to assume it to be Bulgarian?"

"Yes. Very good, Miss..?"

"Arya Valencia. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Petrova."
