Release That Succubus

Chapter 412 412 Mutters

His friend stopped as he ran a hand through his hair before letting out a sigh from his lips. he raised his hands up in surrender as he realized that his words were true.

"That is true and it does make sense. But that can be an easy fix I will lower the prices slightly and tell them that it is because we have added in a secret ingredient. But this is all just wishful thinking in the end. I am sure that the taste is going to be the same. There isn't going to be any changes." He said to him as his words held a certain bout of confidence.

"Well I for one am going to stay with the princess' sugar. It is much easier for us to find and we can get it at a lot more places. I don't have to go to a Smith outlet in order to get it and I am sure that the taste will be much better as well." He said to him confidently.

He sighed knowing that things weren't going to change his mind.

"You aren't going to change your mind are you. You think that the princess is doing this because. She really does want to help all of us." He said to him and he watched as the other man nodded his head at him with full confidence. however he couldn't help but chuckle at hi in response as he shook his head.

"Yes of curse she is our princess and she is meant to be here to help us out. If she wasn't helping us out then she wouldn't be our princess." He said to him firmly.

"You seem to have forgotten what the royal family does." he said to him calmly. He furrowed his brows at him in response.

"What do you mean by what the royal family does? What do they do?" He said to him in an adamant tone. 

"You know that they have been up to no good and they have never truly been up to any good. They are always looking for the interest of themselves rather than the interests of their people. I would like to believe that even what they are doing now they aren't doing it because they care about us but simply because they care about themselves." He said to him firmly.

He watched as he furrowed his brows and tilted his head to the side slightly. "What do you mean to benefit themselves? To benefit themselves how?" He questioned.

"I know that princess Candice doesn't like the Smiths." he said to him and his friend widened his eyes.

"How do you know that?" he asked him and he only smiled at him in response as he looked towards him with a glint in his eyes.

 "Let us just say that I have someone on the inside who tells me all about what is going on and I can tell you now for a fact that not everything is as it seems and you should not allow yourself to be so easily fooled by the appearances." He said to him firmly in a warning tone.

He watched as his friend gulped before nodding his head at him not wanting to ask him any further questions. He understood now that he was much more knowledgeable on the matter than he was.

"So tell me what It is then. what is going on and why did Princess Candice decided to start sponsoring the other smaller workshops if she wasn't doing it in order for her to up lift and promote them." He said to him in a curious tome.

"Well I believe that she is doing all of this because of Zach. She wanted was to get back at him and the Smiths. she wants to try and cripple their business by selling the sugar at a much lower price so that none would want to buy from him but would buy it from her instead." He said to his friend firmly.

"And which is why Zach must have realized what she was doing and he also decided that he would fight her back by lowering his prices as well so that she would have nothing to hold against him." He explained to his friend.

His friend couldn't help but let out a sigh from his lips as he realized what was going on. He couldn't believe why he hadn't noticed it before until then.

"You see the thing is that none of them truly care about us. They are more concerned about themselves. They are both getting the benefits out of the battle that they are going through. We should just take whoever is settling it at a better price. We shouldn't worry ourselves about that because one thing is certain and that is the fact that they certainly aren't worrying themselves about us." He said to him harshly.

He let out a sigh form his lips nodding his head at him as he knew that his words were in fact true. He didn't know why he hadn't realized it before and he should have known it sooner.

He should have thought of it earlier but he had been considering the people and the royal family. He should have come to realize that they themselves hadn't been considering him at all.

"I guess that you are right. They really are only doing this for themselves and none of them cared about us." He said to him inn a mutter under his breath.

"he watched as his friend hummed at him in response before nodding his head at him and letting out a sigh from his lips. "well you see that is why I just like many of the others don't care about the Smiths or the royal family. We know that none of them care too deeply about us and that is why we are aware of the fact that we have to take care of ourselves." He said to him and he nodded his head at him before letting out a sigh.

He quirked a curious brow towards him as he thought over it for a moment.

"Well if that is so. Then who are you in support of?" he asked him. He watched as he shrugged his shoulders at him before responding. 

"Well let us just say that I am in support of whoever it is that gives me more perks. I am in it to benefit myself and no one else." He said.

His friend couldn't help but chuckle as he nodded his head at him in agreement. He knew that he was right and the truth was that they should have been worrying about themselves truly.

And the side that they shouldn't have been on was neither that of the Smiths or the royal family but they should have been on their own sides. And they should have been working towards choosing someone that would benefit them the most.

…

Princess Candice had grown terribly frustrated. She had taken fast action in order to make sure that she took down the Smith family and she was certain that she had destroyed them all.

However she was even more frustrated and annoyed by the fact that she was yet to take them down and they were still standing.

She had hoped that her small workshops would have been able to put the Smiths out of business by now but she had been terribly wrong. She had soon come to realize that the Smiths were still very active and they were still working well.

She had decided to investigate in order to get to the bottom of it and to find out why they were still up and running.

She had come to realize that it was because they had lowered their prices and that they had increased the wages of their workers.

This was something that would hinder her plan and it made it so that the Smiths had more customers rather than having their business crumble.

This wasn't what she wanted. In fact it was the last thing that she desired. She knew that these things didn't happen all of a sudden but she should have started to see some changes by now.

However she couldn't help but smirk at the thought of what Zach had done. She was quite impressed by his execution.

She had to admit to the fact that he was very tactical and he was also well aware of the ploys in which he would be able to use. In order to make sure that her own business wasn't able to stay afloat.

However she wasn't about to let things go so easily. She had no intention of letting go without putting up a fight. 

She was going to make sure that she won at any cost. And because of that she was also starting to change up her own tactics. She was trying to make sure that her own workshops were greater in number hoping that she would be able to get to more areas than the Smiths.

However it seemed as though Zach had also caught the hang of that and he was also intent on making sure that he increased his own productions so that he would be able to get to a larger set of people at a much higher rate.

Due to the fact that Zach was hiring a lot more employees it meant that his production had increased greatly and he was able to give much higher output in a much shorter timeframe.

However the workshops weren't able to have as many employees and that meant that their own set of work was much slower.
