Chapter 67: VOL 2 Chapter 12: do you want to know about your parents?
Lake Lysandra is nestled in a secluded corner of the University Planet, a secret place known only to a few who had taken on the task of exploring the planet's lush forests. It remained pristine thanks to the university's strict measures to preserve the biodiversity of its "gardens."
As one approached, the first notable feature of the slightly oval-shaped lake was its crystal-clear water, which faithfully reflected the blue sky and the clouds lazily floating in it. In the center, the sun seemed to dance on the surface, creating glimmers resembling scattered diamonds.
Surrounding the aquatic "mirror" were dense forests of fir and pine trees, towering like ancient guardians. Their tall canopies formed a sun-filtering layer, casting dancing shadows on the ground, which was covered in a mossy carpet. Sporadic wildflowers added splashes of color—yellows, reds, purples, and whites—contrasting with the ever-present green.
Floating leisurely across the vast lake was a modest-sized boat with a special charm. Its polished wooden hull shone with golden hues under the afternoon light as it silently glided over the lake's waters.
The boat's deck was adorned with a burgundy and gold velvet carpet, on which sat a woman of beauty that bordered on divine. Her hair, resembling liquid gold, flowed in soft waves down to the middle of her back, and her deep blue eyes gazed lovingly at the young man resting in her lap.
Her clear, flawless face bore a slight blush that only enhanced her charm. Her body, a perfect blend of sensual curves and a toned figure, could inspire desire in anyone who saw her. But to the woman, the only thing that seemed to matter was the young man in her lap, whose hair she stroked with delicate care.
The young man resting in the beautiful woman's lap was no less remarkable in appearance, with enigmatic black hair as dark as ebony, adorned with glimmers that resembled a starry night, filled with stars and galaxies. His hair starkly contrasted with his pale skin and emerald-colored eyes.
"This is the life..." Erik commented with his eyes still closed, his calm expression reflecting the peace he felt.
"It's good that you like it. Besides, you should rest more often; it's not good to spend all day locked away." Sigrún spoke as she gently combed through Erik's hair, a beautiful smile on her face. The young man with the starry hair casually asked with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"Mmm, maybe I should rest more often, it feels great. But what prompted this sudden idea for an outing?"
"Oh, nothing special, I just wanted you to enjoy a moment of relaxation." Sigrún replied with a small smile before giving Erik a soft kiss on the forehead, to which he smiled gratefully as he opened his eyes to look into his master's blue ones.
