With Sevan controlling Sea Smoke and escorting Partius all the way, even if the other families were unwilling, they returned all the Patriolius Family's assets within a few days.
Partius, in turn, presented all of these to Daenerys.
"Please... please accept them, Princess! Everything Partius owns from now on, including my life, belongs to Your Highness. As long as Your Highness allows me to serve by your side."
"Ah?!"
Looking at the somewhat sickly young man in front of her, even though Daenerys's mind was quite sharp, she couldn't immediately grasp what he meant.
However, Sevan, who was nearby, immediately became displeased upon hearing this and sarcastically retorted,
"You're just a slave I captured. Don't tell me you actually think all of this belongs to you? Now you're even daring to fantasize about Her Highness the Princess. I think you don't want your life anymore..."
After speaking, he directly drew "Raging Tide of the Sea" from his waist and pressed it against Partius's neck, who had already turned pale with fright.
However, Sevan felt no pity for Partius's beautiful, tear-stained face. Instead, Vada and the many female warriors nearby looked on with great reluctance.
Daenerys had to admit that for a split second, she really wanted to grab Partius and thoroughly torment him. The way this beautiful young man sobbed was simply too captivating.
"Mm-hmm~"
Daenerys awkwardly cleared her throat, driving all those strange thoughts out of her mind.
"Forget it, Sevan!"
"Since you have such sincerity, then follow me from now on! However, you must take good care of your body, otherwise, even Besani seems much healthier than you."
Besani, who was feeling a little sorry for Partius, was suddenly called out and immediately blushed with shyness.
"Your Highness!"
Sevan didn't expect Daenerys to so easily keep this pretty boy by her side, and a wave of bitterness immediately washed over him. Partius, in front of him, became even more an eyesore.
To strengthen Partius's physique, Daenerys gave him a good amount of targaryen family dragonflame and also had him join the Water Dance training.
As the actual controller of the Patriolius Family's palace, Daenerys also moved in with everyone. The huge platforms built for dragons on the Pattiliuss Palace finally had real dragons landing on them.
Although Partius ultimately did not regain the Patriolius Family's shares in the Iron Bank, he did receive compensation in Iron Bank vouchers equivalent to 65 million gold dragons, pieced together by several families.
This was a huge sum of money. At least, after some twists and turns, although only Parius remained as the sole heir of the Patriolius Family, their total assets had actually increased.
To pay for these vouchers, Parici and several other families had to sell off a considerable portion of their assets. However, they were fortunate not to suffer the same price suppression as the Patriolius Family.
The Frel Family and the Unfass Family even offered high prices to get all the assets into their hands.
To ensure that the two of them could successfully ascend as the new governors, Daenerys also had Partius directly transfer a portion of the family's assets to the two families for management, from which she would directly collect dividends in the future.
A week later, the Hall of Truth's ruling on the Auseris Family finally reached a consensus. All of the Auseris Family's assets and Iron Bank shares were mercilessly confiscated. And their entire large family of dozens of people were all expelled from Braavos.
Sea King Youtanlis directly hired a medium-sized fishing boat to send them to Moros, east of Loras.
Moros is a city located in northern Essos, a colony built by the Lorasi for fishing and mining. It is on the coast of the Shivering Sea, at the northern end of the Sarn River Delta.
To the southwest of Moros is its trade partner, Saos, and to its southeast are the ruins of Vis Gradka. Following the Sarn River south, one can reach Slavers Bay on the southern part of the Essos continent.
However, on the night before the fishing boat was about to reach Moros, an unknown cold wave suddenly surged into the fishing boat, freezing the entire Auseris Family to death.
When the fishermen brought the news back to Braavos, while it caused many Braavosi to feel regret, more people lamented that a top Braavosi family had thus completely fallen, with its bloodline almost severed.
And with the demise of the Auseris Family, and the decline of the Parici and Tederius families, several new families rose as a result. The Unfass Family, relying on its strong economic power, purchased a significant number of Iron Bank shares, directly entering the ranks of the top ten families and becoming a new governor.
The Frel Family also successfully became one of the thirteen great families, although ranked last, they were truly a governor family.
Partius, relying on the family's foundation and Daenerys as his backing, was also easily re-elected as a new governor, though his ranking was relatively low.
And the new structure of Braavos's thirteen great families underwent a subtle change.
The current thirteen newest families in Braavos, ranked by wealth, are the Ruiyaan Family, Antarion Family, Fregar Family, Planellis Family, Agnelli Family, Plestain Family, Unfass Family, Oriel Family, Zayen Family, Tolene Family, Gonzaga Family, Patriolius Family, and Frel Family.
Those loyal to Daenerys's faction include the Unfass Family, Patriolius Family, Frel Family, and the Oriel Family, who secretly pledged allegiance, making a total of four families.
The Plestain, Planellis, and Fregar families hope to maintain good relations with Daenerys.
The other six families, led by the Ruiyaan Family and Antarion Family, have a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Daenerys. While there is no hostility, they are all wary of each other.
And after the new thirteen great families were established, Braavos's compensation to Daenerys also had a result.
"Your Highness the Princess, we have done our utmost and can only gather 4% of the Iron Bank's shares for you. This is already on par with the Sea Kings Palace, and we hope Your Highness can understand our difficulties."
Sea King Youtanlis, having regained full power, seemed to have recovered considerably.
"Of course, to express our apologies, Braavos can provide three hundred Purple Fleet as compensation for Your Highness. At the same time, the northern and eastern island chains adjacent to the Patriolius Family's territory will be allocated as Your Highness's dragon ranch."
"And the Sea Kings Palace's food supply for the dragons will continue indefinitely. Three hundred goats and fifty cattle daily. This will also be written into Braavos's laws."
"Good!"
Daenerys had spent enough time in Braavos, and she was already very satisfied with such gains. After all, these 4% of Iron Bank shares could bring her tens of millions of gold dragons in dividends each year.
Moreover, her influence had successfully infiltrated the high-level management of Braavos. From now on, she would no longer have to worry about them stirring up trouble in the Seven Kingdoms behind the scenes.
However, after readily agreeing to his terms, Daenerys immediately put forward a new demand,
"I accept your terms, but those three hundred Purple Fleet must be managed uniformly within the Purple Fleet. I will arrange the captains and crew as soon as possible and hand them over to you."
