Elaera & Daemon's Apartments
112 AC
Five moons had past since Aemma died and Daemon had left for Dragonstone.
"Please tell me you're cleaning that up." Teresa Tyrell begged, pointing at the corpse of a women that Jocasta Lannister, Elaera, Melissa Strong, and Livia Velaryon had dissected.
They had dissected the eyes as well to learn more about it.
"Of course we will." Elaera said, looking up from her drawing. She had dozens of journals and this one was titled Human Anatomy: VOL 3.
She had more journals about the anatomy of different animals. Alicent Hightower regularly avoided her rooms for this but the Realm's Delight was used to it, but found it weird.
It had always been Aemma who supported Elaera's experiments. Daemon to once they married, giving her the corpses of dead thieves, criminals, and rapists to use.
"So they can do something useful, Princess." the Rogue Prince would jest.
"I thought you were a scientist like the rest of us." fifteen year old Jocasta Lannister teased Teresa, emerald eyes surveying herself. Her golden hair was pulled into a bun and she wore a black gown stained with blood and gore.
"I am a botanist." Teresa corrected. With softly curling brown hair and blue eyes, she would easily become one of the great beauties of the realm.
Thirteen year old Teresa was the youngest daughter by Lord Matthos Tyrell on his second wife, Theodora Crane, and his youngest child overall.
She had two older full sisters: Alayne and Alerie and five older true born half siblings: Lucas Tyrell, the heir of Highgarden who was ten years her elder, Mason Tyrell, Lucielle Tyrell, Jon Tyrell, and Robert Tyrell.
Lucas, Mason, Lucielle, Jon, and Robert mother was the deceased Lady Jessica Florent.
Twenty three year old Lucas was married to twenty year old Violetta Redwyne and had three children: Lyonel Tyrell (age three), Jessica Tyrell (age one), and Matthew Tyrell (six months old).
Twenty year old Mason was Lucas's second in command was not married. Teresa however, who could find out everything and was Elaera's unofficial sypmistress, did inform Elaera that he had a male paramour in the form of nineteen year old Jaime Redwyne, the great nephew of Lord Redwyne.
Matthos was just turning a blind eye to this.
Eighteen year old Lucielle Tyrell was married to William Redwyne, who was second in line for the Arbor. She had given birth to two children: one year old twins Daniel and Daniella Redwyne.
Seventeen year old twins Jon and Robert were studying at the Citadel to become Maesters.
As for fifteen year old Alayne, the pious girl was training to become a Septa in Oldtown while fourteen year old Alerie was betrothed to Lord Henry Tarly.
"Don't worry T, we will clean it up." Elaera assured Teresa. Teresa was a great botanist with a vast knowledge of herbs, flowers, and plants.
"Like we always do." Livia Velaryon said, drawing in her own book. The thirteen year old maiden was the daughter of Vaemon Velaryon, and had curly silver hair, dark skin, and light purple eyes.
"We can do some experiments in the gardens with plants." black hair and green eyed Melissa Strong, daughter of Lyonel Strong and younger sister of Harwin and Larys Strong, suggested.
"I agree with Teresa. It smells horrible and looks disgusting. Can't you do that somewhere else?" Emily Arryn said, poking her head into the parlor.
At fifteen, Emily had blonde hair and blue eyes with fair skin and the poet of the group. She was the cousin of Jeyne Arryn and her older twin brother, Thomas Arryn, was next in line to inherit after Jeyne.
"Go back to your poems, Emily." fourteen year old Allyria Baratheon, niece of Borros Baratheon, huffed. Black hair and blue eyed, she held a passion for architecture and drawing.
"Can both of you not?" fifteen year old Natalie Redwyne sighed. With red hair and blue eyes she could easily be a Tully but she was instead the niece of William Redwyne, with a love of theater and painting.
"The sooner you all go silent the faster I can draw, and that means I'll be done quicker and the body will be cleaned up." the Silver Princess snapped.
She cared for her Ladies in Waiting since they were all interested in the variety of fields she loved, they could get on her nerves with their bickering.
Thirty minutes later, she had completed her drawings of what she found and the corpse and gore were cleaned up.
Following a scalding hot bath, Elaera and her friends headed to the gardens.
That is today's chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it.
