My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem-Chapter 1594

“How could you tell?” I asked innocently.

“When you suddenly go away, there is always a situation,” Eliana responded. “Plus, I can see the worry on your face.”

“Th-there iz a pwoblem?” Chance asked.

“Don’t speak with your mouth full.”

After the meal, I had put out a bowl of candies for the girls which I had brought from my world. The two younger girls had quickly shoved them down their throat, and Chance had a mouth full of candies when she spoke. She quickly swallowed it down with a blush.

“S-sorry, my lord.”

After cooking something tasty for the girls, both of them had seemed to settle down quite a bit. I should remember that feeding them had good results when I did something that would anger them. I should bring back candies before I get bit next time. Even Eliana was eying the candy dish with longing, but she seemed to be resisting after her meal. Did she realize she had been gaining a bit of pudge that wasn’t accounted for by the pregnancy? Well, I wasn’t going to mention it either way.

“Alright, it started at the adventuring guild.” Since Eliana could already tell something was up, I didn’t see any reason to hold back from her.

I told her about the trap, Carmine’s disappearance, and the fog that seemed to be impenetrable to mana. I finished by mentioning the boss room was seeming on a continuous lockdown and how the fog had seemingly moved to the next island. When I finished, Eliana was watching me carefully, her entire focus on my words.

“So, even the S-ranked island is having problems…” Eliana gave a small sigh.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“It’s important with the peace talks coming up that I get a good sense of the state of the island,” Eliana explained. “I sent out several people to feel for rumors and information. What I’ve gathered is that this fog has seemingly been moving from island to island. Once it clears, the boss rooms are closed and do not open up. I’ve confirmed that the C, B, and A-ranked dungeons are all locked as well. With the S-rank locked, it seems to me like someone is moving their way up the dungeon.”

Hearing about her information gathering, I recalled that half the reason I had brought Cici and Chance along was that I had thoughts of building my information network. However, I hadn’t used them at all and had instead gone off on my own again. Meanwhile, I had remained clueless to such things. I could have had Chance spend the day in the adventuring guild listening for rumors instead of going myself, and I probably would have known all of this.

I clenched my fist under the table. I still had a long way to go. I knew that I had become a lord, and with talk of the King’s Selection, alliances, and the growing of my territory, I was starting to feel the pressure of needing to become a leader. I knew that I wasn’t someone who was a natural leader. I tended to go off and do things on my own, often without telling anyone. I still had this mentality where didn’t want to be a bother to other people. No matter how strong I got, it was hard to shake off a lifetime of keeping your head low. I needed to do better. I needed to grow and become a person worthy of the title of a lord.

“Someone is doing the gauntlet?” I spoke the obvious conclusion as the silence lingered.

Eliana gave a small nod. “It would seem that way. The real question is who and why.”

Before we could say anything else, a guard opened the door. Eliana looked in their direction.

“My lady…”

“What is it?” Eliana asked in her most diplomatic voice.

“It’s… um… the prisoner. She’s requesting to speak with Lord Deek Deekson.”
