Chapter 439 Chapter 439
That was another reason why they were so indebted to him and they were so determined to work for him.
They could see what he had done for them even when he was at his lowest and they were willing to help him when he was at his own lowest.
Despite the fact that Candice could see that Zach was winning the hearts of the people on the city she knew that what she wanted to win wasn't the business battle between the two of them.
In the end what her and the rest of the royal family was for them to win the battle at the border. Zach may not have realized it yet but indirectly what he was doing including his actions were working towards helping his enemies.
He had thought that he was too smart to be fooled by Candice but what he didn't realize was that he had fallen right into her trap.
She was using him and his industry to generate more money for the city.
The city was making more and more money and the revenue that they were making form their taxes was being pulled into getting more weaponry and machinery for the war.
She could also see that people were now more willing to pay their taxes.
Before they weren't making a lot of money and paying taxes was hard for them as there were a lot of them that couldn't afford it.
As for now with Zach's employment scheme they felty as though they owed the city for everything and they were in even more of a hurry to pay their taxes.
The royals had been on Candice's neck in order for her to be able to find a new source of founding and ways for her to make money.
Although the Davis and brown companies were making money for her it was starting to slow down but now that Zach was back up and running that process was now much shorter.
He didn't realize it but his actions were helping her out and to was making it much easier for her to win in the war.
Despite the fact that she had lost the battle against Zach she was reminded of the fact that due tohis own actions she was able to win the long term battle that was being waged at the border and so because of that she knew that she couldn't be entirely too upset about it all.
Sher knew that it was time for her to give up her battle with Zach. It was time for her to focus on the bigger picture as everyone around her seemed to tell her over and over again.
She came to realize that to some extent they were in fact right and it was time to stop beating around the bushes.
She had to do what she should have thought of doing when all of this had started. She knew that she needed to go and that she had to leave.
However she couldn't deny the fact that she was intrigued by Zach.
She had faced many people who had been intent on destroying her and although all of them had come with their full confidence none of them had been capable of taking her down.
She couldn't deny that she was intrigued now. She was tempted to meet this man Zach who had what it took for him to being her down.
It was almost humorous the fact that she had bever met him. Thew man that had been able to bring her down and destroy everything for her.
The one that had proven that she wasn't in fact invincible and she was capable of being defeated.
There was a part of her that wished that she would be able to. see him. That she could catch a glimpse of the man. Man who had been able to take her down.
But it seemed that was never going to happen. The last thing that she wanted was for him to be able to see her at her lowest.
For him to see the defeated look on her face and for him to be able to realize that he had in fact been the one who had taken her down. She knew that he would be able to revel in the sight and that he would love to see her like that.
But she wasn't going to give him the benefit of being able to see her like that. She was much better and much stronger than that.
And although he had won she was going to leave with one thing that he wasn't going to be able to take away from her and that was her dignity.
She wondered what he in fact looked like if he was as strong and as cocky as he appeared to be.
Part of her wished that he was nothing more than a coward that tried to hide behind a screen. She didn't know what it was about him. Or about all of this but there was a part of her that felt curious and she wanted to know.
She shook her head at her thought as she knew for a fact that she was better off not knowing. She knew that it would do her no good for her to find out who he was and it might have even pushed her to stay further.
That wasn't what she needed, she had already made up her mind that she needed to go and she knew for a fact that it was also her time to do so. She let out a sigh from her lips as she slouched her shoulders before she decided to start getting ready to leave.
She had thought that leaving the city would have been easy for her. After all the city wasn't home to the fondest moments for her.
However she happened to be surprised by just how attached she had managed to grow fond of the place.
She knew that there would come a time and a day when she may want to return but today wasn't that time and for mow she was going to have to leave because if she did stay behind it would end up being right she lost even more of what she had left.
She had to go in order to preserve herself as well as her family and for her to be able totake care of the little that she had left.
She decided that the best time for her to leave the Byzantium city was in the darkness of night.
Itmeant that she would be able to sneak out without getting too many questions from the people and it also meant that she would be able to go without anyone giving her much trouble.
That was what she wanted more than anything.
For her to. Be able to get in and out without being asked questions and without her being able to run into any complications.
However despite the fact that that was wheat she had wished and what she wanted more than anything she knew that was a far cry from the reality and she would have to be careful if she wanted to get passed the people and out of the city without her being detected by anyone.
That was why she knew that the best time for her to leave was in the darkness of night as it would endure that no one would have been able to catch wind of her and she would have been able to get in and out of there without any trouble.
She made her way out of her castle in the blanket of night as she decided to leave on that day.
She wore a hood to cover her face so that she wouldn't be able to get detected by anyone else as she made her way out of the city.
However as she was leaving she decided that she would pass by the Smiths home one last time.
She had allowed for her instincts to get the better of her and just for once. just one time she hoped that she would be able to get a look at him.
She wanted to see the man who had been responsible for everything. The man who had her forced into a corner and the man who had her questioning all of her thoughts.
She wanted to see who it was who had been able to take her down silently and without breaking a sweat and just as she came to. A stop in front. Of the Smiths mansion she saw his tall figure looming by the door.
She stood back hoping that she would be able to stay in the shadows undetected as she stared at the outline of his back.
For a moment she wished that he would turn around so that she could get as better look at him however he didn't.
She knew that this was for the best and the last thing that she would have wanted or desired was for him to catch her peeping in on him.
This was for the best and it was better for all of them if everything were to stay how it was.
She was able to leave without him seeing her and no one else would have to catch on to the fact that she had failed and she had decided to leave because she was ashamed of her having to face her problems.
The only person that she cared about preserving at the moment was herself and the city would have to take care of its own.
