I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 107: 107. Young Master Orion

'It's so confusing.'

Orion couldn't understand what was going on. The flood of memories, the sense of belonging to a life he hadn't lived—it was all overwhelming. He felt adrift, caught between two worlds, unable to make sense of his own existence.

'I will think about it later.'

In the end, he decided he would ponder this matter later. At present, he didn't have answers to any of the questions swirling in his mind. All he could do was accept the uncertainty and focus on the immediate tasks before him, trusting that clarity would come in time.

Knock!—

At that moment, he heard a knock on his door.

'Who could it be?'

He wondered who would come to him at this time of the hour.

'Is it the assassin?'

For precaution, he activated his dimensional dissonance and entered the other dimension. After that, he went outside his house and saw that the person who knocked on his door was Lisa—the girl he met at the boat.

'She is here at the right time.'

He thought as he went back to his room and deactivated his curse before opening the main door.

Lisa came in as soon as he opened the door and kneeled on one leg in front of him.

"Young Master," she said respectfully. "It's good that you have passed the test. I was worried for a moment earlier."

Orion nodded at her and helped her stand up.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you don't need to kneel in front of me?" He said this, looking at her.

"Now that Young Master has completed his task and regained his memories, we will have to quickly return to the Darkwood Palace," she said as she clenched her fists. "But because of this place, we can't leave now. We are trapped here. This week I have been looking around the whole Aethelgard City for an escape, but I found none."

Orion had already known about this from Kyle. He had told him that there was neither a single area nor a loophole one could use to escape. It was like a big prison made for them to live here forever. The boundaries were impenetrable, and any hope of finding a way out seemed futile.

"This is the least of our problems," he said solemnly, looking at her.

"What do you mean, Young Master?" Lisa asked in confusion. She felt that leaving this area was their top priority, but her young master was saying this wasn't a major problem. She couldn't understand what he meant by that.

"You see..." Orion explained everything he had learned from Kyle to her, causing her expression to shift from confusion to shock, and finally to horror.

She couldn't believe there was such a conspiracy hidden in this place. Moreover, the shock she felt didn't come from the conspiracy itself but from the fact that it was all the Valen family's doing.

The Valen family was one of the seven Magi families that ruled the entire Aurora Haven. Although the planet Sadola was in their domain of rule, it still didn't give them the right to do something like this. Their actions were a blatant abuse of power, betraying the trust of those they were supposed to protect and govern.

"How could the Valen family do something like this?" Lisa uttered it in shock. "They are really going against the Magus Emperor."

"Indeed," he agreed with her. "Their actions are indeed in opposition to those of the Magus Emperor. That's why I needed you to do something."

"What is it, Young Master?" Lisa asked.

"Inform our family about this conspiracy," Orion said, looking at her. "As for the rest, they will handle it themselves."

Although he and the masked girl were planning to stop General Dray's team, he wasn't sure if they would be able to do it alone. He didn't want to risk the lives of everyone in Aethelgard City. Therefore, he felt that they would need any extra help they could get.

Lisa nodded at him and took a circular shaped white crystal.

"I was also thinking of doing that," she said as she ran her fingers around the crystal.

A moment later, an old man's projection appeared on the surface of the crystal.

"It's nice seeing you again, Butler Rio." Orion smiled as he looked at the old man.
