There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 666

Chapter 666: Side Story 3. Stellar Blossom - 1

"How’s life?"

"The best," Han Joon shrugged at the doctor, who smiled in response.

Due to their quiet marriage, not many people knew that the Night Star was now married to Radia Mallarc, even after two years. They were spotted together sometimes, but people who treasure their careers and their lives prefer not to probe--even the most daring dark-link posters.

In the first place, Han Joon had been private even during his time as the Captain of Mobius, and he became even more quiet after he was discharged from the military prison. Once in a blue moon, Radia would bring him to the high-society event, sporting their wedding band; but their relationship had been known to be so bad that people were wondering if it was nothing but a ruse instead. For what? They had no idea.

Whatever rumor circulating, however, the couple themselves pay no heed, since it didn’t affect their life or Mortix’s overall shares. And so, only a few remained in the know about the nature of their relationship. Aside from the close friends and the guild, Han Joon’s physician since his soldier days was one.

And honestly, in the doctor’s eyes, Han Joon did look like he had the best life. After decades of training and duty, the man could finally enjoy his rest. His eyes were still sharp, but no longer looked as if there was an enemy in every corner--or at least, he also no longer thought the doctor might be an enemy one day. His usually stiff back and shoulder now enjoyed slouching and relaxing, while his lips moved easier than before.

If no one knew his identity as a former soldier, they might think he was a handsome celebrity with a rich patron--which was rather funny since Han Joon called himself a trophy husband without any hint or hesitation.

If only his inside was as fine as he looked on the outside.

"Capt--Mister Han," the smile faded gradually and the doctor put on a serious face. "You need to do something about this."

"I am doing something."

"If you did, nothing has really changed," the doctor placed Joon’s folder on the table. "You either need to find a new way or go into intensive care."

"Hmm..." Han Joon leaned back and closed his eyes, contemplating calmly as usual. "I’ll try this one last thing first."

The doctor could only sigh and nod, ending their session. Han Joon stood up to leave, but when he reached the door, he heard the doctor’s voice again.

"Mister Han," the doctor asked in concern. "Have you told your husband?"

Han Joon smiled and closed the door.

"Welcome back, Master Joon."

The mansion’s butler greeted him at the front door and took his leather jacket off him while he checked on his commlink. There was no new message from Radia since the afternoon, but his husband’s secretary usually gave an update to the house staff.

"When will my darling come back today?"

"Master Radia said he’ll be back before dinner."

"Hmm..." Han Joon closed his commlink and strode deeper inside the mansion while unbuttoning his shirt. "I’ll be in the gym then."

"What would you like for dinner, Sir?"

Han Joon tilted his head slightly, thinking back about the busy Radia who seemed to have a bad mood this afternoon when they had a short call. "Make anything he likes," he decided. "That butter-poached lobster--also salads; it’s hot today, so go with the orange dressing."

"Yes, Sir," the butler bowed deeply as another house staff opened the corridor leading to his personal training room. "I will send your silver needle in a second."

"Thank you."

The butler never lied--the silver needle did come in a few seconds, and Han Joon drank it while reviewing his schedule. Pfft--reviewing his schedule--it was only something he had been doing for the past two years. Saying it like that made it as if he was as busy as his husband, but all he had been doing was training other espers, being a guest teacher in his old academy, and a special lecturer in Zein’s guide academy.

That was about the only thing he could do, and the money he could get from that was limited by law. Any income above a certain threshold was required to be put to charities, including any media appearance.

Han Joon didn’t really mind though. He put his whole fee into charity instead. After all, he didn’t take those jobs to earn pocket money--just to make himself move around a little bit. Otherwise, all he would do was just lounging around at home watching movies and playing games while waiting for Radia to come home.

Honestly...not a bad life. Even his husband encouraged it. Just rest, Radia said. Enjoy life. Be spoiled. And the summoner was truthful about it, since he gave Joon full access to his money; card, stamp, passkey--the whole thing.
