My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem-Chapter 955

Chapter 955

“Shao, Salicia, I have a dangerous mission for each of you.”

“Whatever you want!”

“I will do it!”

Both girls were eager to please me. That was good. I needed people I could trust. I had never thought Lydia or Miki would ever betray me, but it happened. In a single night, that fake Deek had managed to steal half my women. He had claimed my strategists and my powerhouses. If I didn’t have a home-field advantage, I would truly be screwed. Not to mention I had to face a war on two fronts. Lord Reign or I guess I should start acknowledging that it might be the demon lord, was pressuring me from the north, and the fake was pressuring me from the east. I’d have to overcome both challenges to become a victor. Fake Deek had the advantage that Lord Reign didn’t even know he existed. Then again, it was thanks to this Fake that Lord Reign believed I was dead.

As for the idea that Fake Deek was sent by Lord Reign, I was no longer as sure as I had once been. Not everything added up when I thought about it. For example, I had already figured out he fled to the Capital. I had even tried to open a portal in the mansion only for it to be blocked. This wasn’t an ability that he had, so I figured it had to belong to Elaya.

“Shao… I need you to head north and spy on the forces of Lord Reign. I need to see what he is doing. Don’t get too close though. If that demon lord is with them, we can’t risk it.”𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

“Yes, Mistress…” Shao lowered her head.

“Shao… are you okay, with all of this. You’ve been rather quiet.”

She raised her head, but then looked away. “That… I’m just not sure about this other Deek. He looks and acts just like you. Plus, the other girls seem to trust him.”

“Yes… but you stayed.” I put a hand on her shoulder. “Your loyalty… I will reward it.”

Her body shook slightly. “Even if you say that…”

“What is it?”

“If he’s evil as you say… he’s still a copy of you, right? Can’t we change him? You once changed me. If they’re a copy of you, then clearly there is good in them. After all, you were their template.”

I blushed at those unexpected words. “I don’t know. Frankly, I’m not even sure how to handle them.”

“Well, their actions should be your actions. Shouldn’t we use the same techniques we used facing the doppelganger in Widow’s dungeon?”

“You mean… they’d act how I’d act if I was in their situation.” My eyes raised.

“Mm! That!”

“Then, to defeat him, I must predict how he’d act, and then act like he wouldn’t expect.”

“Ahhh… I thought we were talking about changing him?”

“No… this will work. I will defeat him now!”

“You’re both Deek though…”

“There is only one Deek!” I snorted. “Thank you, Shao. I’m more certain the path I’ve decided on is correct.”

“Y-you are?” Shao looked at me uncertainly.

“I am. You’ll just have to trust me.” I sighed. “I know what I’m doing.”

“O-okay…”

“Master, what should I do?” Salicia asked.

“You will also perform a spy mission for me.” I grinned. “How do you feel about returning to your sister?”

Salicia’s eyes began to widen as I told her my plan.
