"I don't think they got what you are trying to say," Iliana remarked from behind Basil.
"I don't deserve to be called a genius if I can't even understand that." Basil shook his head faintly.
"Have people told you that you are... Narcissistic?" Iliana quirked her eyebrow lightly. "You got skills and all, but aren't you too full of yourself?"
"Prove me wrong then." Basil smirked.
"Well, I can't. You are indeed a genius—just like me."
"Talking about being narcissistic..." Basil snorted lightly in amusement.
Iliana just shrugged, then didn't say anything else. She just hugged Basil's waist as she gazed at the people around them cheering his name in delight.
She had expected Basil to be an amazing fellow ever since her eyes landed on him at the Regional Tournament, but she had never expected, in less than half a year, the young man who had managed to gain her interest could turn out to be a Hero.
