There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 793

Chapter 793: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 74

It was a beautiful, bright spring day; the breeze was cool and nice, combined with the warm sunlight and the scent of flowers in full bloom. The driveway uphill was lined up with pink and white blossom, fluttering in the soft wind blowing from the sea.

It was a perfect day for a wedding.

If only the groom could enjoy the beauty of the scenery. Unfortunately, Asa was busy fanning himself with the card where he had written his vow, looking like a respiratory patient running away from the hospital.

If the patient wore a dashing navy suit.

Breathing fast and heavy as the guests started to fill the seats facing the altar, Asa took rapid breaths and exhaled harshly. "Oh, Gods...oh, Gods..."

"Breath," his twin gave useless advice, but at least the esper’s larger build could hide Asa from the guests’ eyes.

"I’m breathing...I’m breathing..." Asa nodded, still. But his eyes caught the card he had been using to fan himself and he was panicking again, hissing anxiously. "What if I stuttered my vow?"

"Then it’ll be a nice dinner story," Kar shrugged, smirking annoyingly that Asa had to use his card to smack the esper.

"Don’t worry, Hyung," his twin’s boyfriend, fortunately, was more graceful. Byul rubbed Asa’s shoulder to soothe the nervous groom. "Even if it happens, everyone here is family and friends--they won’t spread it on social media or anything."

Maybe. He had no idea what Lucy would do, though. But Asa didn’t need to think about that.

"Relax," Zein patted his son’s back, wondering if Bassena was also like this while he was getting ready inside the house. "If it makes you feel better, your Dad almost dropped the wedding ring into the lake."

The twins and Byul paused, blinking as they looked at Zein. The image of Bassena fumbling with the small metal circle and the heart lurching everyone must experience as it stayed in the air for a split second before the esper caught it.

"Pfft--ahahahah!" Asa bowed down as he burst into laughter, and Zein patted his back with a smirk across his lips.

"Stuttering your vow doesn’t seem so bad anymore, isn’t it?"

"Yeah," Asa took a deep breath and straightened his back, exhaling slowly--calmly. He could finally smile on his wedding day. "Thank you, Father."

"Just keep remembering that story if you get--ah," Zein exclaimed softly as the sound of the door opening could be heard, signaling the oncoming bride.

Rina, the head organizer of the event, gave a sign for the guests to stand. A canopy of flowers had been built in front of the door leading to the garden, so they couldn’t see the bride right away. But a little troops of girls and boys were running out with a basket of flowers and scattered them along the way as music started to play from the string band.

Adorable children--the grandchildren of the Iron Shield and the orphanage--started the march with squeal and laughter, filling the air with organic confetti.

And then came the bride.

Walking with elegance under the veil of flowers and lace, Julia held Bassena’s elbow and stepped forward, one by one, making sure she wouldn’t trip and embarrass the family. But alas--the more she tried, the more she failed. Her sole caught on her skirt at the last staircase and she could feel herself wobble.

That was it, though. She didn’t fall, or even lean sideways in the slightest. Something invisible propped her from below, and no one saw anything wrong with her step. She glanced at the esper beside her--her soon-to-be father-in-law.

Bassena merely smiled, ordering his shawod to retract. "Are you ready?"

"Yes," Julia took a sharp breath. "...I think so."

"Just walk slowly, take a deep breath, and look around," Bassena said.

Following the esper’s words, Julia slowed her pace and took a deep breath while looking at the guests. Immediately, she could see her old teachers from the orphanage, waving to her while clutching their chests and wiping their tears. With the teachers were the people who were closest to her when she was still in the orphanage, and not far from them were her and Asa’s friends from the research center.

On the other side of the alley, there were the members of the household--the Iron Shield, people she had been meeting a lot while preparing for the wedding. And then, there were people she never thought would be anywhere near her before; the patriarch of House Mallarc and his husband--as well as parents; a hermit saint class esper who did not look like he was anywhere near a hundred-year-old; and more great people her hazy mind couldn’t keep up.
