The heart of the beautiful forest was taken up by a serene, crystalline lake. Its waters were so clear that it seemed like a mirror that reflected the vibrant flora that surrounded them and the endless expanse of the sky. The lake's surface was adorned with delicate water lilies that open their petals to reveal hidden starlight patterns, casting a mesmerizing glow upon the water's surface whenever sunlight graced them.
As the boats paddled along gently, the willow branches dipped down to kiss the water's edge, creating occasional enchanting archways that were whimsically wonderful. Daphne couldn't resist but reach out and graze her fingers across the plants whenever they floated past.
Paired with the distant sound of birdsong and the gentle rustling of the wind in the leaves, Daphne fully understood why Prince Nathaniel had chosen this location as their first pitstop for sightseeing. She basked in the tranquility of the moment, entranced by the serenade of nature.
