There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 636

Chapter 636: Side Story 1. The Twilight Zone - 18

In the end, Alma secretly cried in the corner, while threatening anyone to never tell Zein about it.

Gracefully, Zein pretended not to know despite several nosy birds chirping in his ears about it. Besides, there were other people whose dam seemed to be broken. Including his own new husband.

He just came inside for a bit to take off the long tail attached to his vest, and he came back to a crouching Bassena, face buried in his hands.

"What is wrong with him?"

"He was freaking out about almost dropping your ring into the lake," Han Shin laughed. "What a silly goose."

All in all, the ceremony was going quite smoothly. It was respectable; the audience was solemn, and they exchanged the vows they had exchanged countless times already. Bassena had even managed to speak his vow without stuttering.

The ’disaster’ happened when he was moving the ring engagement ring to the other hand, turning it into a wedding ring. He had been steeling himself during the vow that his hand became so sweaty and the ring slipped from the tip of his fingers.

They were in a dock. A lake was beneath them.

The esper--the strongest esper there--froze in shock for a split second where gasps could be heard from the audience. Thankfully, he had a sentient skill that caught the ring and almost put the ring on Zein’s finger--before Bassena woke up from his momentary stupor and snatched it.

For Zein, the fact that he didn’t want his child of darkness--a part of him--to put the ring safely instead of his clammy hands was more silly than almost dropping it. But getting flustered now after the rings were safely in their hands was the silliest of them all.

Still, it was cute.

"Oh, let’s see how this one fare in his own wedding," Han Joon knocked his brother’s temple, who merely stuck out his tongue and hid behind Reina.

Yeah--Zein thought this one would cry even before the wedding.

Understandably, Ria and Sherri cried even harder than in the bedroom and cried even more when they visited Lucia’s grave right after. The Elder was wheezing and had to equip his oxygen mask. Senan...cried even harder than in his own daughter’s wedding.

"I’m telling you, Sir--do not let those old men see your sons in the future," Senan’s daughter warned Zein. "They’ll kidnap your children. I’m sure of it!"

Zein chuckled. Let’s just see it as a daughter’s annoyance.

The calmest table was naturally the most powerful of them all; the Old Houses’ heads. "It’s a simple and beautiful ceremony," Ludya told him.

"It’s refreshing," Zhou Caishen laughed. "Wedding is a complicated business in my family, and the event will happen for at least three days."

"At least?" Zein visibly grimaced, and the patriarch smirked, replying in an eerie tone.

"We can go for a whole month for a patriarch."

Zein finally knew why people got scared of a horror movie. He retreated soon from the table and finally addressed the many sparkling eyes that had been gazing at him from the other side of the yard. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

"Have you been well?" Zein asked the guides and the espers from Trinity.

"Captain!"

Dheera hugged Zein without hesitation, and it opened the door to more hugs and back pats and congratulations. Han Shin and Zhan dragged the crouching Bassena over while laughing, so the newly wedded couple finally together again.

"Can you believe this guy killed the Fallen Star?" they nudged Bassena until the man raised his face and glared at them.

Those puffy and reddened eyes only got them laughing, however. Thankfully, they had already taken the wedding picture earlier before Zein took off the troublesome tail--otherwise, Reina would be livid.

"But you don’t seem to be fazed at all, Captain," Dheera looked up at the guide’s unchanging nonchalant face.

"Hmm...it doesn’t feel very different for me," Zein shrugged.

Naturally, Bassena gasped. Even Han Shin was gasping, clutching his chest for the probability of drama.

"I mean...we already lived together, we have a joint foundation, we’re each other beneficiary, and each other’s medical proxy--even before the proposal," Zein explained. "And then the imprint happened and I had his gene in my stomach, so..."

"Heh--so, you thought you were like a married couple already anyway, so what’s the big deal about a wedding?" Abel, who had his little daughter in his hand, smirked.
