?They were only going to turn their backs on the hands that feed them eventually. It wasn’t something that was wishful thinking on his part but rather it was something that had already been ensured.

Candice was at the edge of her seat as she watched the markets. She could see that the Brown and Davis family has their stocks stagnant and although they weren’t crashing down at least they were on a steady level.

However she didn’t like that. She wanted to see them going up and that seemed to be the opposite of what was going on.

Sher had been keeping her eye on the Smiths stocks as well and she had thought that she would see them starting to crash by now. However she was wrong and that wasn’t what seemed to be happening.

Instead it seemed as though their stocks were rising. She didn’t understand how that was happening and she knew that it made no sense for her to still be doing well.

She groaned in frustration as she felt her own anger flare.

She had expected that since he had reduced the work hours of his employees that it would mean that they wouldn’t be able to meet up with the daily production demands.

However that wasn’t the case. It seemed as though the shorter work hours were pushing them to work even harder.

They were putting out all of their efforts and he was producing more and more sugar.

She felt as though she was losing control over everything and it angered her the fact that things were not going the way that she had planned for them to go.

The workers were almost seeming to perform magic as they were able to perform the tasks that they had previously done in on day in a small time frame of less than eight hours.

She had no idea how they were doing that and it was something that she struggled to comprehend properly.

Things weren’t seeming to be going the way that she had planned and her plan had been for her to be able to secure his downfall.

It didn’t make sense that the workers were doing less hours and yet they were able to produce such high output for her she didn’t understand and she was unable to make sense of that and something told her that there was something that wasn’t entirely adding up.

What was even more peculiar weas that even on top of that they do get breaks during the day and even after the breaks instead of them to become drained or lazy they are even more energized and they became more driven to work. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝘮

That had never been the case with her own employees. She pushed them to work harder had gave them no breaks but they were less productive that was why she was forced to push then harder.

There was no way that cutting down on their hours was what then drove them to produce more work output. She knew that there had to be something else.

There was most likely a secret that she was unaware of something that he was using against them to keep them on his side.

She just had to figure out what it was and she was yet to understand it at the moment.

Although they were not making a lot of profit in Byzantium and other cities because there was a lot of competition they were still making a lot of profit outside.

They were able to make more money in the cities outside where there wasn’t a lot of sugar market and their profits were starting to grow exponentially.

This had also caused the service industries to also grow and they had also bedew able to garner a huge clientele from there.

This meant that the Smiths were no longer in a tough spot and they were no longer barely scrapping by and struggling to make ends meet. But rather it was quite the opposite as they were able to do well for themselves.

They were slowly restoring their empire and taking it back to the glory that it once had.

Even in Byzantium now the civilians were changing their opinion on Zach.

Their gazes were turning away from loving and being in support of the royal family but they were instead more focused on Zach and the Smiths.

They had seen what he was doing for the people and the fact that he was the one who cared for the poor. And she cared for the workers and because of that they loved him and treasured him.

In fact they saw him as some kind of hero.

This wasn’t good for Candice as it meant that she was losing wone of her strongest powers that she had. The one thing thar she could rely on the most and was the most important thing for her was the fact that she knew that she had the power of the people on her side

That was something that she could use against Zach because that was something that she had more than him and it gave her more leverage over the people.

However much to her disdain. She knew that she could no longer pull that card because that was something that she no longer hand.

Now the people were slowly slipping through her hands as they seemed to be taking more interest in Zach.

She knew that she had to get things under control fast before they got any further out of control and she would have to find a way to work around things before she was swept under the rug.

The people of the city however were overjoyed with what the Smiths family was doing for them.

In. the past they were forced to live in fear as they were forced to clammer in the shadows too afraid to act and so anything that would upset the hunter family.

They were too poor to stand against the hunter family but now that they had the Smiths they knew that they had someone to rely on.

The Smiths were finally taking a stand for them and they were showing them that they had rights indeed and they could live a good life.

For that they were ever grateful to the Smiths and everything they had done fort them as they had worked towards freeing them from the shackles of having to be under the hunter family.

With them working for the Smiths they were given freedom and they weren’t treated like slaves that were built toserve them but for once they were treated as though they were people with personalities as well as feelings and they were meant to be considered when decisions were made.

The people were slowly pulling away from the hunters and they no longer found a need to live in fear of them or to clammer in the shadows afraid of what they would do to them.

For once they wanted to stand up for themselves and decided how they would run their own lives.

They were now receiving more benefits than they could have evert imagined that they would get before. It was almost unbelievable for them to imagine that they would be able to live a free life the way that they were.

At first Zach’s kindness to the people didn’t have much of an opinion on how the people were able to view him.

However when Princess Candice began to stop people from quitting working for the browns and Davis there were some people that even turned their anger towards the princess.

They saw it as her being the one who was provoking Zach and she was causing an unnecessary war.

To them she didn’t care about the people or the flow of the money in their system.

She made them feel as though she was the one who was ruining the economy of the city.

She was destabilizing everything by engaging in such a battle with Zach and that was the last thing that the people wanted. .

In the end the most important thing to them was to ensure that they made money and what happened around them didn’t affect them or their income.

The people were soon starting to open their eyes to the truth.

They could see that the government was working with the princess and they never truly cared about the citizens.

They didn’t seem to care about helping the citizens in building themselves up.

And they didn’t care about the development of the city.

The princess didn’t seem to care about then either and because of that they found themselves turning away from the monarchy as well as the government systems.

There was only really oner group of people that cared about the city and that was the Smiths.

They were the ones who were trying to benefit the city.

They had set up the sugar production industry and set up a new way for the people to make money.

They had also provided jobs for the people and gave them high wages and free time for them to still be able to live their lives.

Although the princess had tried to show the people that the Smiths were no good and that they weren’t actually trying to help them.

The only people that seemed to not care about the welfare of the common man was the government in itself.

It was the one that seemed to be intent on weighing the people down and. Trying to convince them that they were better of scraping at the bottom buy working for lower rates.
