?She needed the power to make sure that her and the rest if the royal family were able to stay on top no matter way and to ensure that they were able to win in the upcoming war that was happening.

And the one thing that she knew about the war was that to make sure that she won completely she had to ensure that she was able to succeed in getting the favors of the people.

To do that she knew that she would have to do one thing for sure and that was to make sure she took Zach down.

He should have been counting his favors because before he knew it he would be completely surrounded and he would have no more tricks up his sleeve and nowhere left for him to hide.

Once she had completely destroyed him there would only be one person left standing, that was her and he would have to bend to her will and do as she asked.

...

Bruce knew that he was supposed to trust Zach but his trust was slowly thinning. He didn't know how much longer he was going to be able to continue to have faith in Zach.

He wasn't one to question his actions and he constantly did as Zach asked of him without question but it was becoming hard for him to do that.

The sugar production of the Smiths family was slowly crumbling and there was little that he was able to do on his own to ensure that it stayed afloat.

He was frustrated by how helpless he felt and the way that he felt as though there was nothing that he could do in order to fix it.

People were withdrawing from buying sugar from the Smiths slowly, and even though they had reduced their prices so low it seemed as though people were still not bothered about that fact.

They were still buying form their competitors instead and it had Bruce in a pickle.

It had reached a point where the Smiths presence in the market was almost none.

People weren't buying from them which meant that they weren't able to make any more money and they were on the verge of stopping production as they were running out of funds?to continue.

They didn't have enough money to continue with the production as usual and the sugar that was being sold outside wasn't being bought by customers,

Bruce was aware of what was happening he didn't seem to be aware of to what extent it was going on or how bad it was. he seemed to be oblivious to everything.

It was either that or he was clearly ignoring all of the signs that were clearly placed right in front of his face.

"You think that you know what is going on but I can assure you that you don't. You think that it is bad but I will tell you now that it is much worse than that. We can't just sit around and not do anything about it. We have to act fast." Bruce said to him.

Zach quirked an eyebrow at him before asking him, "Well go on. what do you suggest that we do and what do you suggest we take as our method of action?" Zachquestioned.

"Our sales are plummeting drastically and our market isn't selling. Although. We dropped our prices it isn't enough to get our prices back up. we are losing money fast and we have lot of our employees wanting to leave asor that they can find work elsewhere. You have to act fast before things get any worse and everything goes crashing down. I know that you have tour ego and your reputation to uphold but this is not the time for that." Bruce said to him in a slightly raised tone.

Zach couldn't help but widen his eyes at his words as the truth was that he hadn't expected him to react in such a way.

He shook his head as he raised up his hands at him in surrender before offering him a light smile with a glint in his eyes.

"Well I know that you are anxious and that you have doubts about my plans but you know that I am on your side and it is no reason for you to attack me. You have to sit down and think this through rationally." Zach said to him.

Bruce was about to say something else however Zach hardened his gaze at him.

"And even if you want me to end this all now what is it that you want me to do. What is your grand plan that you think will be able to solve everything." He said top him in a mocking tone.

"I think that you should try and call for peace. But an end to this. I know that my doubts may seem like nothing much to you but my concerns are real and thus isn't going to end well for us unless you do something about it. So please stop all of this and ease our anxiety." Bruce begged.

Zach sighed as he shook his head before running a hand through his hair. "I know that you think that this treaty for peace is the best idea for us and it is what will save the family but you are wrong. We can't help the family by admitting defeat and letting Candice win. That will not end well." Zach said to him.

"And you think that this will. How do you see another way out of this. One that will not resort in our complete and utter destruction ." Bruce said to him in a raised tone.

Zach widened his eyes at him in shock as he was surprised that he would raise his voice at him in such a way as it was something that he hadn't been expecting form him.

"Look I know that it may all seem impossible right now but like I said you just have to trust me. I have-," Zach started to say however he was surprised when Bruce cut him off.

"You have a plan I know and you have been saying that all along. Ever since this all started and it only leaves me more confused by the fact that you seem so calm by all of this .but I can't continue to stay calm. So if you want me to continue to go along with all of this. Tell me what is going on." Bruce said to him adamantly.

Zach gulped as he thought over it but he shook his head after a moment. He knew that he couldn't go through with it.
