Notes~ Genesis 049. Evelandel is Lynnlita's eldest sister, and crown princess of Llayad, tho it doesn't take much to figure that out from this.

Lynnlita held her book in one hand, a slender finger between the pages, and dangled it over the edge of the bench she had been reading on. She sat up straight, smiling over at her older sister nursing her tiny new baby against her chest. There was a pale, downy coating of brown hair dusting her crown, and while they were closed while she fed, Lynnlita knew the little princess had eyes dark enough to rival a Raykinian. It was already evident that she was going to grow into a fine future queen.

“She’s so beautiful,” the young princess murmured.

Evelandel’s daughter reached out clumsily with one hand, apparently for nothing in particular. Evelandel gave her a finger to grab hold of—the baby’s tiny digits just barely made a full circle around it.

Lynnlita made a quiet squeaking noise, and a broad grin spread across her face.

“Evelandel is certain Lynnlita’s child will be just as beautiful,” the crown princess said encouragingly, lifting her daughter’s hand with her finger and kissing it lightly.

“Should Lynnlita ever catch her man,” the younger princess said with a wistful sigh, still watching her beautiful niece sucking peacefully at Evelandel’s breast.

Evelandel looked up from her daughter, her eyes determined. “She will certainly catch her man; Evelandel has no doubt over that. She need only be strong-minded and strong-willed, and she will catch him. And both sisters know how strong-minded Lynnlita can be.” She laughed lightly.

Lynnlita smiled at the encouragement, but it was only half-hearted. “But he has already made it clear that Lynnlita holds no interest to him.”

“At the very least, be grateful she already has a man to whom she can give her affections. Evelandel had no target until she’d seen her twenty-third birthday, and even then it was a struggle for him to accept her.”

“This is true,” Lynnlita conceded. She slipped her bookmark into the pages in place of her finger, then moved over to sit beside her big sister, gently stroking her niece’s beautifully soft skin. “How does Lynnlita make him notice her? What did Evelandel do?”

The crown princess smiled knowingly. “Show him Lynnlita’s greatest assets. Tell him why she would be the best choice as Raykin’s future queen. Lynnlita has an analytical mind certainly exceeding Amyrallyn’s, possibly even Evelandel’s! She has ideas for bettering Raykin, unquestionable wit, exceptional manners…” She glanced out of the corner of her eyes at her younger sister, a coy smile on her lips. “And, most importantly to a man, she’s beautifully well-endowed.”

Lynnlita gasped and covered her breasts with her arms, huffing at her sister, but not without amusement.

“It is true!” Evelandel laughed, hugging her sister briefly with one hand and resting her cheek against her hair.

Lynnlita giggled back and pushed her sister gently away. She tossed her hair back over her shoulder, raising her nose in a haughty fashion. “Lynnlita was never about to deny such a statement,” she said proudly, then laughed again.
