I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 375, Section 1.24: Reencounter with the White Knight

In the castle corridors draped with a magnificent red carpet, a young man dressed in light silver armor stood before an ornately carved door, holding a beautiful and sharp spear. His long silver hair was tied high in a ponytail, exuding a dashing and heroic air.

His handsome face still had a touch of youthfulness, as if he had only recently come of age, giving people a feeling of naivety yet great cheerfulness and energy.

His azure eyes glanced briefly at the pair of patrolling soldiers walking past. He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent. He looked back worriedly at the gate and sighed softly.

A series of hurried footsteps approached from afar. Jafar paused slightly, a relaxed smile spreading across his face. He hurried forward, his red cloak billowing behind him, making the young man appear exceptionally tall and spirited.

"You're finally back!" The boy's clear, energetic voice rang out, sounding very pleasant.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Gilles removed his black top hat and placed it on his chest, giving Jafar an elegant hat-tipping gesture.

“You…” Jafar blinked his sea-blue eyes in confusion, his mind racing as he tried to figure out who this person was.

“I am Jill,” Jill said, her face dark.

"Ah, I remember now, it's Gil. He's got too much blond hair, it's hard to spot him." Jafar flashed a bright and cheerful smile, like a radiant little sun, and the two dimples on his face added to his cuteness.

Jill rolled her eyes at Jafar and said, "Give me a break, I'm sure you didn't recognize me."

The White Knight is great in every way except that he's face-blind and can't recognize people, relying solely on their appearance to identify them. However, this doesn't hinder their daily interactions and is considered a minor, harmless flaw.

"Your Highness is finally back. If you hadn't come back, I wouldn't have been able to deal with the Lord." Jafar looked at Mu Yegui with resentment and said angrily.

"Deal with it?" Mu Yegui asked, puzzled.

Jafar counted on his fingers, "My lord asks me at least eleven times a day, 1234...11 times, where the prince went and why he hasn't come back yet. Even though I admire my lord so much, I still find him a bit annoying. Do people who are sick feel insecure? My lord is usually very quiet."

Even Jafar, who never speaks ill of others, couldn't help but complain, which shows that he was really annoyed.

"Is it really okay for you to say that?" Jill's lips twitched slightly. Although he had run away because he was afraid of Sher's talkativeness, he couldn't say that out loud.

“It’s quite far from the door, the adults won’t hear us,” Jafar said, glancing back at the gate.

“Samuro’s hearing isn’t that bad.” Mu Yegui’s words shattered Jafar’s illusions and brought him back to reality.

"Oh no! I was just dozing off at the door. Could the adults have heard me? Luckily, I don't talk in my sleep or snore," Jafar said, covering his mouth in surprise.

Mu Yegui reached out and patted Jiafa'er's head as if to comfort him, the child who had exposed himself.

"W-What are you doing! How could you touch my manly head! You can't touch a man's head!" Jafar's face turned bright red, and he took several steps back, his voice filled with panic.

Rather than calling Jafar a man, it would be more accurate to say he's still a big boy, completely lacking any sense of maturity.

"You previously said that your dimples exuded masculinity," Mu Yegui said slowly.

"My head and dimples are full of masculinity!" Jafar said angrily, puffing out his cheeks, his face flushed with a youthful naiveté.

Although he looked like a teenager, Jill felt inexplicably old listening to their conversation. He didn't want to be around them, feeling it would affect his intelligence.

“If you doze off during work, you’ll have 200 yuan deducted from your salary from the finance department later.” Jill’s lips twitched slightly as she said mercilessly. “No way! I’m on my day off today, I should be resting! I’ll treat you to the most expensive soda ice cream in the square.” Jafar scratched his head, trying to change Jill’s mind.

“I can’t bribe you with snacks,” Jill said helplessly.

“They didn’t see it!” Jafar pointed to the soldiers patrolling behind him and said.

The soldiers who were pointed at were slightly taken aback, completely unaware of why they had been chosen by these two.

Jill: "..." You've really grown up, you've even learned to threaten people now.

At this moment, Mu Yegui broke the deadlock, "I'll go check on Sher first. Does Jafar want to come in with me?"

“Go!” Jafar immediately ordered.

He then followed Mu Yegui away, and before leaving, he turned around and made a face at Jill.

Jill: "..." Deduct another 100.

Jafar followed behind Mu Yegui, sheathing the silver spear in his hand and turning it back into a silver ring, which he then wore on the index finger of his left hand.

His high ponytail swayed slightly as he walked, giving him a clean and neat appearance. His slightly youthful, handsome face was adorned with a smile as bright as the sun, and his dimples were incredibly cute.

"Am I really lacking in authority? Should I learn from adults and always have a cold face? Would that make me more intimidating?" Jafar asked, frowning in distress.

"You're fine as you are, no need to change." Just like his name, which represents light and brightness, this was full of praise.

"After Your Highness secretly went out and was discovered by the Lord, although the Lord kept a cold face, I could feel that the Lord was actually very sad." Jafar secretly looked at Mu Yegui's profile and said softly.

"I just felt that Xie Er had mistaken me for someone else, so I didn't know how to get along with him. But now I feel that he didn't seem to have mistaken me for someone else." Based on the results of her previous discussion with Mu Yin, perhaps they were different individuals in the past. If that's the case, she might indeed have a relationship with Xie Er.

However, this was just a guess, and she didn't intend to get too involved with Sher until she truly understood.

“But… regardless of whether he has admitted his mistake or not, isn’t it good to have family? Even if the adult has truly admitted his mistake, he won’t change his choice. The family he has chosen, even if he is wrong, will still be his family.” Jafar paused slightly and said in a low voice.

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback, "Family...?"

Like Nalan Xu's family?

Even if she didn't care about anything else, Nalan Xu truly became the only soft spot in Mu Yegui's heart, the only family member she acknowledged. Now, when the word "family" was suddenly mentioned, Mu Yegui thought of her and suddenly felt a longing for that word.

"Your Highness, don't you think your hair color is quite similar to the Lord's? I don't think this is a coincidence. Perhaps you really are the closest family in the world," Jafar said to Mu Yegui with a light laugh, revealing two cute dimples on his cheeks.

Jafar is so cute!!
A sunny, cheerful, and energetic face-blind rider.

A mature, gentle, and reliable mute black knight (who is also a married woman).

The contrast is incredible.
