MLW: Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Lonely People

Kane Erez was in a daze because of the people currently present.  Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.

First, Fiona Heilon. ‘A kind lady, my superior’s fiance.’

Next, Lady Mia Yan. ‘A lady I recently went on a date with.’

Lastly, Prince Sigren. ‘A prince with a personality disorder, caught in conflict between Yan and Heilon.’

​​Of course, the last thought was purely Kane Erez’s misconception. However, from Kane’s perspective, the current situation in front of him was utter chaos. For some reason, Mia Yan and Fiona Heilon were hugging each other—very desperately.

‘Um, so what exactly is their relationship?’

His mind grew increasingly confused. It was a relationship that just doesn’t make sense. It was all so disorganized!

“What on earth is this triangle relationship….?” Kane ended up blurting out unnecessary words unintentionally. Or was it a quadrangle if he got involved too?

Damn.

Seeing Kane like that, Mia Yan grinned broadly. “Long time no see, Sir Kane.”

Kane had a lot to say to her. “Yes, dating me, then flirting with His Higheness the Prince, and now even hugging Fiona Heilon. It’s been a while, Lady Mia Yan.”

“You sure have a way with words.” With that, Mia Yan slowly got up. “And to answer your question, yes, it’s a triangle relationship.”

Kane was startled. “What? So, do you really have feelings for Prince Sigren?”

Then, Mia and Sigren simultaneously frowned, as if they were hearing a disgusting claim. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.

It was a fleeting moment.

Of course, Cain, who was lost in his own thoughts, did not see that sight.

“…….”

Just as Kane finally finished organizing his thoughts and was about to say that a person shouldn’t make a move on someone who already had a partner, Mia suddenly opened her mouth.

“It’s not His Highness The Prince, it is Lady Fiona.”

This time, Fiona, who was holding Mia’s hand, was taken aback. “Huh? Me? Hm? HUH?!”

Sigren furrowed his brow, and now Kane had a headache.

“Wait, Lady. Didn’t you go on a date with me recently?”

“I did.”

Mia smiled brightly as she spoke.

“Since you were my previous date, let me inform you of one fact out of basic courtesy.”

Next, Mia began to untie the dress ribbon.

“Gah!” At the moment when Kane Erez was about to turn his head, he saw one astonishing fact. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.

“……!?” ‘No, I must have seen it wrong’. But the afterimage remained vividly in his memories. ‘I, I must have seen it wrong….’

Trembling, he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. Of course, he immediately regretted it. ‘Where on earth did the girl I dated go…?’

Thus, Kane Erez’s mind flew somewhere else beyond confusion.

A moment later, Kane Erez regained his composure and shouted, “I’ll beat him!”

Sigren responded nonchalantly, “Do you think that’s what the situation calls for?”

“You always bully me….” Kane grumbled openly.

Sigren patted Kane on the shoulder. “Hurry up and find the broker’s ledger.”

Realizing his superior was trying to change the subject, Kane protested, “After showing such a monstrous event, you expect me to work? What kind of relationship do the three of you have?”

Fiona glanced back and forth between Kane and Sigren for a moment, then looked embarrassed. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.

“Well… Mia and Sigren are distant relatives.”

“Yes!?” 

‘So the young man in women’s clothing is His Highness the Prince’s relative? My date?’

“….” Kane Erez thought he wanted to dismiss the matter altogether at first, but…”Did you approach me on purpose?”

Thanks to Fiona, Carl, who had recovered considerably, smiled brightly. “I wasn’t ordered by His Highness, but yes, I approached you on purpose.”

“Why on earth?”

Carl responded sharply, “I was investigating misconduct within your family.”

Kane furrowed his brow deeply. “What misconduct… No, it seems more like you strangely harbor ill feelings toward me.”

“There really is.”

“Yes? What is it?”

“….”

Instead of explaining in detail, Carl, who had a thoughtful expression for a moment, answered, “If you’re curious, ask your father.”

“….” Kane was speechless. 

Sigren grabbed him and dragged him away. “Stop babbling and find the ledger. If your family is involved in that ledger, then that would be the end of your family.”

“What? How am I supposed to find it if you say such terrifying things?”

Kane Erez and Sigren drifted apart as they spoke like that.

“….”

After briefly seeing the two of them, Fiona awkwardly turned her head. ‘Because of Kane, I’ve been distracted, but did I just hear you say something like a confession to me?’

“Carl… When you said you like me instead of Sigren, you were just trying to avoid the situation, right?”

Carl chuckled ambiguously. “Well…” Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.

“This seems like a serious matter, could you please clarify…” Misinterpreting Carl as having feelings for her here could lead to trouble. It must have been meant in a friendly way. ‘Stay calm, Fiona’. 

“…”

Seeing her concern, Carl looked uncomfortable. “Miss, Judging by your reaction now, it’s probably better to discuss this later.”

“I think discussing it now would be better.”

“Don’t worry so much, Miss.” Karl quietly kissed Fiona’s hand. “I don’t intend to make you uncomfortable.”

“I see…”

“Instead, please do ask me about what we agreed on last time.”

“What agreement?”

Fiona asked curiously, and Carl smiled.

“You promised to ask me what I like in a month.”

“….!?”

‘Ah, I did make that promise when I went out to eat with him’

Fiona almost slapped her forehead. Her mind became complicated at the thought that she had somehow dug her own grave.

Carl just smiled broadly as he looked at Fiona’s expression. Read the translation on itsladygrey.com.
