I Can Copy Curses

"Don't you hear yourself? It was my clone. It wasn't me."

However, he couldn't complete his words as he was soon interrupted by Orion.

"But that was your clone so it must be in some way related to you."

"HAHAHA!"

Orion laughed loudly as he heard him.

"Someway related to me? That's your reasoning for blaming me? Are you kidding me? Even a kid can tell you are intentionally blaming an innocent person just so that you can kiss the feet of the Silverflame family. I feel pity for the Grimwolf family to have someone who worships other families more than their own family."

People were shocked when they heard him. All those present here were either from one of the seven Magi families or were from some other organization. They could tell right from wrong here.

Previously, they also heard from their family members about what exactly happened in the Null Void. So they knew the truth beforehand. Therefore, what the Grimwolf family was trying to achieve by blaming Orion was uncomprehensible to them.

But they also guessed something when Orion mentioned the Silverflame family. The Grimwolf family could be said to be the newest edition of the seven magi families and were always on good terms with the Silverflame family—good terms as in the dogs of the Silverflame family.

"What-what are you talking about?"

The man kneeling on the ground with the corpse of Loren panicked all of a sudden when Orion mentioned the Silverflame family.

But the strange thing was that nobody from the Silverflame said anything or reacted in any way to Orion's remarks, as if this whole matter wasn't in any way related to them.

Orion smiled, seeing him panic, thinking this guy fell for the trap he had set. Now he would just have to end this well.

"What am I talking about? It's simple: Loren's body is here, which means he was fine when he arrived from that world but for some reason he died. Isn't this very suspicious? The Grimwolf Family is one of the seven Magi families so one would think they would have many people with healing talent ready in emergency situations such as this.

However, Loren died, and you came to me blaming him for his death. It was as if you killed him intentionally instead of healing just so that you could blame me."

Gasps could be heard all around the barren lands as soon as people heard Orion's words. They were shocked and surprised, which led them to whisper among themselves, wondering if what Orion said held any truth.

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd and seeing them point their fingers at him, the man kneeling on the ground dreaded it, but it was the suspicious eyes of his own family members that made him lose it completely.

"NO! What are you talking about?! Don't slander me! I didn't kill Young Master Loren—I wouldn't dare kill him. He died before we could heal him. Believe me!

Everyone believes me!"

He begged his family members to believe him but what he got was cold shoulders. They ignored him, took Loren's body and went back to their void shuttle, leaving him alone.

Orion shook his head as he saw that. Although he spouted all that nonsense, he didn't know if any of them held any truth or not, but since this guy was hell bent on blaming him, he could only be ruthless to him.

Clap! Clap! Clap!—

"Nicely done."

Kane clapped at him, appreciating how he handled the situation.

Orion smiled brightly as his mood instantly lifted. He was happy to be appreciated by the sword sage. How could he not be? After all, he was praised by someone he aspired to become.

"Also, I heard you were very strong—even stronger than my student and Astral Voidwalker."

When Erick mentioned what transpired in the Null Void, he was surprised to hear that Orion—the kid whom he had met recently, not so long ago—had become stronger than his student and Astral. It caught him off-guard.

He had believed Astral to be the limit of a genius in this era and hadn't expected anyone to surpass him in the Magus Kingdom. But he was wrong—an even bigger monster than Astral had arrived at this stage.

He should be happy about that but he didn't feel that happiness; instead, what he felt was urgency.

As for Orion, he laughed upon hearing Sword Sage and was about to say something when someone interfered between them.

"Your Highness, the Emperor summons you."

A middle-aged man kneeled in front of him.

Kane nodded and looked at Orion.

"It seems I have to go."

Orion nodded.

"Also, as I said last time, be sure to visit the Emperor Heaven Palace a month later."

Kane didn't forget to invite him again before he left.

But Erick, Princess Luma, and Elyn didn't leave.

So, Orion asked Erick what had been on his mind for a long time.

"What will happen to the Valen family then?"

Erick pondered for a moment before answering him.

"I am not sure. My father summoned my big brother for that reason too, so we will surely get some news if they decide anything."

Orion nodded. He thought that they should be punished heavily for what they did and he or his family shouldn't be dragged into this. He could only hope for the best.

At that moment, Butler Rio came and bowed to Orion and all the others with him.

"Young Master, Master wants to see you."

Orion nodded. He was expecting a call from his father when he heard the emperor summon the sword sage.

Looking at Erick and the others, Orion smiled and said,

"It's nice knowing you, Crown Prince Erick, Princess Luma, and... Elyn."

Crown Prince Erick nodded and wrapped his hand around his shoulder, which surprised Orion and took him away from the girls.

"Hey, what happened with Elyn in there? Don't take it seriously. She is like this to everyone, one of us."

Hearing him, Orion understood the reason why he took him away from the girls.

"Don't worry. I don't judge her. It's just that I got angry at her words. My mind was already messed up by the situation of the clone and her saying those words made it worse."

He shook his head, thinking about that.

Erick nodded and looked behind him to see that his sister was still trying to talk with Elyn and wasn't peeking at their conversation.

Seeing that, he smiled and whispered some words to Orion.

"What?" Orion exclaimed and shook his head. "No, you are getting me killed if I do that."

Erick persisted and urged him.

"Orion, please, I beg you. I just don't see her these days so if you just delivered my words to her, then I will owe you one."

Orion didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his words but he eventually agreed on what he wanted him to do and nodded.

"Alright, I will tell her but don't forget your words."

"HAHAHA, good. I will surely welcome you well a month later."

Orion nodded and said,

"Alright, I am going now."

Erick nodded and waved his hand at him.

Orion smiled and went with Butler Rio to their family void ship. A moment later, all the void shuttles belonging to their family took flight and disappeared into the sky.
