There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 730

Chapter 730: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 13

The beautiful red autumn leaves had fallen, and the weather became colder. It wasn’t cold enough to only stay cooped up inside the house, however, especially for a pair of energetic boys and a pregnant person looking for sunlight.

And so, at the patio of the house on top of the cliff, you would be able to see a man lounging relaxedly on a hammock while two boys were playing on the swing. The cold winter wind was getting diverted by magic tools placed around the patio’s railing, making sure the four delicate creatures wouldn’t get too cold.

"What pletsent shud we get Nayi this time?"

"Hmm...Nari say she get bored with dresses already."

"Ngg...shud we get flowel? Flowel its lale in Wintel. Let’s ask glanpa Tsenan fol flowel."

"Ung--sound good."

Zein laughed inwardly at his sons’ conversation. How fast children were growing--they could even think about birthday presents already.

"It will be good if there’s snow," Kar muttered. "Nari love snow. And ice."

"Ayce!"

Zein’s laughter turned into lament. Ever since Rina made them that ice rink, the twins had been asking for an ice field. Every time they knew Rina was visiting Cohen at the foot of the hill, they would run there and ask for a mini ice rink, even though there was no pond or a pool.

Children were scary when they got fixated on something.

"Dada..."

Zein took a deep breath and opened his eyes to look at the child tugging on his sleeve. "Yes?"

"Why we don’t have ayce? We have snow but no ayce?"

"Hmm..."

What did Zein know about the science behind the weather, anyway? This was where their Baba or their uncles should come through, but looking at the sparkling eyes staring at him, Zein didn’t think the twins could wait until their Baba came home.

Eh--couldn’t he just bullshit his way through this time? He’d ask Bassena to explain it properly later.

He looked at the sky and pointed his hand toward the north. "Do you see that?"

The twins careened their heads to look over the railing. From their position, they could see the beautiful blue sky, with a little bit of light gray cloud. But far--far on the horizon of the north sky was a stormy space filled with vicious thunder.

"Black cloud?" Kar asked.

"Yes," Zein nodded, beckoning his boys to come back. "It’s called the Deathzone."

Two little heads tilted together. "Deszon?"

"Yes, Deathzone. That place is very dark and very cold."

"Not like Baba?"

"Not like Baba," Zein cracked a smile. Just like him, the twins saw their father’s darkness as a warm and comfortable one. "It absorbs a lot of cold from our place."

"Humm..."

"But because of that, we can have nice weather," Zein concluded his bullshit, ruffling the platinum hair of the younger twin. "Asa will get cold often if our place gets too cold."

Asa gasped. "Leally?"

"You got a fever for three days after playing in the rain last time," Zein reminded his little rascal.

"Hehe..."

Asa giggled and hugged the hand ruffling his hair. He leaned down and carefully placed his ear over his Dada’s stomach--although Dada already told him that the sister had yet to develop organs. But Asa had no idea what that meant--he just knew that his sister was there, vibrating softly with early life. He giggled and closed his eyes to feel that soft vibration more.

Kar, meanwhile, was still busily staring at the black cloud far away. "Dada, is that place bad?"

"Yes, bad," Zein followed his oldest’s gaze while stroking the little platinum head on his stomach. "This place used to be like that before you were born."

Asa gasped and raised his head. "Our home?"

"Everything from the long wall to the beach," Zein paused, eyes slightly clouded with the memory of struggle. "To the sea."

Kar widened his eyes. "Dark and cold too?"

"Not as cold as the one in the north, but very dark. You can’t see anything without special glasses."

"Tscaly!" Asa hugged his Dada again, pressing his face onto the warm chest.
