Uncannily Familiar (4)

After spending roughly 15 minutes on the road, Basil and company arrived at the Castle. They were 15 minutes earlier than the promised time, but it was a common courtesy that one should know when dealing with the Royalty.

As soon as they got down from the carriage, Edward came up to Basil, and greeted him with a smile. "Good Evening, Mr. God of Casanova. I am blinded by the beauty of the goddesses you have conquered." He laughed as they shook hands.

"You have a better sense of humour than your ridiculous brothers." Basil smiled, baffling Edward with his remark. "I am glad to know that I have chosen the right person to associate myself with."

"A-Ah, thank you... I guess?" Edward chuckled awkwardly. "You are as straightforward as usual, aren't you, Basil?"
