I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 173: 173. Princess Luma

As the shuttle from the royal family landed, everyone held their breath. The atmosphere was thick with anticipation and reverence, the air humming with the unspoken weight of their arrival.

The door at the entrance soon opened, revealing three silhouettes stepping down from the stairs leading down to the ground.

However, as they saw a lady of about 18 years old among them making their way into the crowd, they trembled in excitement.

"That-that's Princess Luma!"

"She is also here!"

"That means we have two of the Three Blossoms here."

"How often do we get to see two of the Three Blossoms together? This is a rare opportunity."

"Thank God, I decided to come here."

The crowd began to buzz with excitement as they spotted Princess Luma. It was a rare occasion for them to see one of the Three Blossoms, but seeing two at the same time was almost unheard of. Especially in the case of Princess Luma—she was the princess of the entire Magus Kingdom but one could rarely see her.

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, the man walking beside Princess Luma smiled wryly.

"Little Sis, haven't I said before coming here that they will ignore me as if I don't exist if I come with you? See, this is exactly what happened." He said this, shaking his head.

His little sister, Princess Luma, giggled cutely. She had long golden hair, eyes as blue as the ocean, and a cute little face. Though she was short in height, she reached just up to her brother's shoulder.

As for her brother, his name was Erick Maximus, the crown prince of the Magus Kingdom. One reason he was surprised was that, even though he was the crown prince, people generally forgot about him when he was with his little sister.

He had neatly combed golden hair just like her sister and a quite handsome face just slightly below his big brother—Kane Maximus, the Sword Sage.

Orion stared at both of them and he could tell both of them were at the peak of the gold rank. This made him note something.

'Almost all the geniuses of the Magus Kingdom are in the gold rank.'

He could guess the reason behind that. Since he had difficulty increasing his talent mastery at only the iron rank, he could imagine what they must be facing at the gold rank. The higher the rank, the more difficult it became to master one's talent.

Turning to his cousins, he asked, "How strong is Princess Luma?"

Dustin didn't reply to him as he was busy stalking the princess and Tray rarely answered his questions, so he tuned in to Lucy.

"I don't know. Nobody knows her true strength. Members of the royal family aren't allowed in the elite rankings for some reason so no one knows her strength or the strength of the crown prince." Lucy explained, shaking her head.

"Crown prince?" Orion was surprised. "You mean the man beside her is the crown prince?"

Lucy nodded, saying, "Yes, he is the crown prince of the Magus Kingdom but you could say his fame is overshadowed by his big brother and little sister."

Orion nodded in understanding. With his big brother being the sword sage and his little sister being one of the Three Blossoms, his fame as the crown prince was sandwiched between them.

Arriving before the crowd, Princess Luma headed straight for Elyn and Eric went to Astral Voidwalker. Meanwhile, the platinum-rank expert stood behind and watched everything.

Seeing Astral and the crown prince talking, Orion understood the meeting would begin soon.

But he wondered what the topic would be about.

Would they be discussing how many fruits one would get or if the fruits were real or not?

In any case, the fruits were useless to him. Curses were his source of strength and he would definitely not want to remove any of them.

But since his father had asked him to get some of their fruits, he couldn't ignore them. At the same time, this was also his mission, so he would have to do this one way or another.

At that moment, he noticed Erick stopped talking to Astral and turned his attention to the crowd.

"Everyone, let's do as Astral says and hold a meeting." That way, we would avoid some unnecessary conflicts that may arise due to this." Erick spoke out loud so that everyone in the area could hear him clearly.

The crowd had heard the previous announcement Astral had made so they weren't surprised by this.

Seeing that, Erick continued, "We will have ten groups of people representing in the meeting—the seven magi families, Hyperion Tower, someone representing the common people and last but not least, the royal family. If I missed someone, please do remind me."

However, as soon as he announced this, someone in the crowd asked.

"There are so many people in the common people group; how would we choose one? Also, let's say if the ten groups of people get the same amount of fruits, then wouldn't we be at a loss since we have the most number of individuals here?"

Erick frowned as he heard him. "We are only discussing the rules of how one would get those fruits; as for how many one could get, that totally depends on individual strength. You all can choose to participate in that if you want to but we only need one individual who could represent you in the meeting."

"You mean all of us can participate when we are collecting the fruits?" One of the men in the crowd asked.

"Sure," Erick replied.

He then further said to everyone, "If you have any more questions, ask them."

"Are the fruits real?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"That's why we are holding the meeting. We ourselves aren't sure of." Erick said.

After he replied to that, no one asked him any questions. Seeing that, he continued, "It's decided then. We will hold the meeting in an hour and every group I mentioned should have two people max representing the group."

With that, he stepped back, and the crowd once again began murmuring to each other. This time, they were in a hurry to find someone to represent them, so they started talking in large numbers.

Meanwhile, Orion turned his attention to his group.

Looking at them, he said, "Since we will be talking about the cursed tree and many things related to it, I think it might be better if General Khan came with me to the meeting. Do you guys have any problems with that?"

"It's the best choice." Lucy nodded, agreeing with him.

Dustin and Tray also nodded.

Seeing that they didn't have any problem with that, Orion turned to look at General Khan.

"Prince, you can count on me." General Khan said, beating his chest with his fist.

Orion nodded to him and looked at others when he noticed once again that Elyn was looking at him and he could tell it wasn't just a coincidence; she was staring at him intently.
