-Chapter 141-
-1st day of the 10th moon of the year 299 AC-
-POV 3rd-
After weeks of discussions among all the families of Great Masters of Meereen and those of the Wise of Yunkai, the time to know if the Great City of Meereen was going to go to war against the garrison of Unsullied controlling the City of Yunkai left by Queen Daenerys Targaryen had arrived.
For weeks, the discussions remained stalled and did not progress due to the unreasonable demands of the families of the Great Masters who dragged on trying to glean the maximum advantages from the Wise, but finally, once the head of the family was "cowardly assassinated" by Queen Daenerys Targaryen, everything accelerated under the impetus of the new head of the Galare family, Grazdan Zo Galare.
Everyone knew who had really assassinated Krazdhar Zo Galare and who was really benefiting from this murder, but the power of Grazdan Zo Galare, now at the head of the Galare family, was too powerful to risk making an enemy by launching an unverifiable accusation against him, given the conscientious work by the Blood Moon.
In the end, the two parties agreed on 3 important points: firstly, a tax that Yunkai would pay each year and this for 10 years, secondly, 20,000 slaves, and lastly, the recipe for the wine of bravery.
How did the Wise of Yunkai manage to get their hands on the secret recipe to make the Unsullied beings without fear and insensitive to pain?
The answer is very simple: by a happy coincidence, one of the most eminent members of the Nakloz family escaped the massacre of Astapor because he was visiting Yunkai.

"Now that everyone is here, it's time for us to vote. Those who disagree with going to war against the widow of Khal Drogo raise your hand," said Grazdan.
As the head of the most influential family in Meereen, he also held the position of head of the assembly of noble families.
I slightly smiled upon hearing the wording he had chosen, as he deliberately obscured the links between my sovereign and Daenerys Targaryen while reminding that the latter was only the queen of the savage Dothraki, which would facilitate our settlement in this city in the long run.
Many hesitated and cast me slight glances, in addition to the normal political implications, this decision would show whom they feared most and on which side they would all align, some led by the Loraq family still thought they could win over the young aunt of my king by marrying her to a member of their family.
But by doing so, they would openly oppose the Galare family that I support in the name of the alliance made between Volantis and Westeros.
Eventually, the few hands that were ready to be raised silently withdrew and no family dared to vote against a war that would oppose them to Daenerys Targaryen.
'Perfect, I managed to speed up the vote while recovering the recipe for the wine of bravery,' I thought, pleased with my efforts to meet my king's demands.
'With a little luck, we will bring Daenerys Targaryen's garrison stationed at Yunkai to its knees in less than a moon, then we can quietly march on Astapor in the second half of the year,' I thought, letting a rare smile appear on my face.

-POV Daenerys Targaryen-
"We are in a bad situation," said Ser Jorah, looking at the map of the region.
"I know," I said in a soft but slightly annoyed tone.
I looked at the map and then I said: "We cannot go south because of the red wastes, if we try to cross this desert we will end up losing the majority of the Unsullied."
"Not to mention the obvious hostility with which we would be received by the 13 before we left Astapor. I even heard rumors saying that Xaro Xhoan Daxos has survived and is now even more influential than before our departure from Qarth," said Ser Jorah.
I sighed and then I said: "Our best option would be to join the forces of Grey Worm, unfortunately, we can't also force our way through the Khyzai Pass because the mercenaries hired by the families of Meereen have completely closed the access of the Pass without a force several times greater, taking Meereen back is just a vain dream."
"And all this is without counting what the scouts reported to us two days ago," said Ser Jorah.
'A Khalasar was raiding nearby, a Khalasar with over 10,000 Dothraki screamers,' I thought.
"Our situation is far from ideal, but if we manage to subdue the Khalasar that approaches, we might..." I began before being interrupted by Ser Jorah.
"We would not be a match," he said.
I sighed and said: "We have no choice, if we manage to defeat the Khalasar, we might succeed in waiting for Benero."
"You shouldn't have so much faith in this man."
"You no longer question my word," I said because for a time Ser Jorah doubted that I had really heard a voice in the flames.
"I had trouble believing you but if what you heard is real then waiting a few more days will change nothing."
"So what do you propose, Ser Jorah?"
He thought for a few seconds before saying: "The Dothraki are warriors of the plains with a single strategy, as long as we prepare, we have a chance of holding out until the arrival of so-called reinforcements, in fact, if we prepare enough and are lucky, we might even completely defeat them."
"Then prepare our defenses, we will face them and we will win," I said in a determined tone.
'I may have lost the first round but once I return, I will make sure never to be taken by surprise again, I will definitely take back everything that was mine and let all these slaver scum and their allies know what those who defy the dragon incur.'
'Fire and Blood are the words of my house and I fully intend to honor them.'
