"I always wished that it could be the way you all have. Like everyone stays together as one whole clan. Unlike in Naagvansh. All the vansh have different opinions and they don't come together."
"Bani, when you can't bring all of them together, you've got to bring their leaders to one point."
"Like a council? Haan. But to choose the head of the council will be a task."
"Kyu? Tum lead karo sabhko."
"Main? Yahin se toh problem start hoti hai. It is difficult to get other vansh's naag-naagins to accept someone from one clan as their council leader. Main responsibility le sakti hun iski but I belong from Sheshnaag clan and it becomes a point ki baaki vansh ke naag-naagin kyu mujhe apne leader maane. Aisa ho jaayega ki, they'll think Bela and I are teaming to make Sheshnaag vansh the greatest one and not think of other's development. Yeh toh sirf starting hai problems ki. Hazaaron issue hai. Ek vansh ke naag-naagin dusre vansh ke traditions and all baaki sabh accept nahi karte easily. They're all very progressive with women being at the top and all about their empowerment but this traditional mindset and their own version of rules which the others do not accept."
"Haan but tum toh Sarvasresth Adi-Naagin ho. Sabhko yeh baat toh pata hai ki Shiv ne khud tumhe tumhari shaktiyaan di hai, woh bhi apni iccha se. Saare naag naagino ko 100 varsho ke tapasya ke baad yeh vardaan milta hai ki woh icchadhari ban sake. They've all done their part to receive this gift. Par tumne unse yeh maanga nahi tha. He gave it to you. Unhone apni marzi se diya hai tumhe yeh vardaan. He deemed you worthy of it. Iss baat ki validity se you can take the throne as the head of the council. Naagrani toh already hai. Aur jaisa tum bol rahi ho. Waise, har vansh ki apni naagrani ya naagraj hoga. Once you get all of them under one council, to regulate them is easier. To bring them together when there's a difficult situation is easier. No one is going to dare and question your Bholenath's decision for you to be Adi-Naagin"
"I don't know, Veer. Mujhe khud apne hi vansh ke logo ke man mein apne liye respect dekhni hai. I want them to all accept me as their Adi-Naagin out of respect rather than fear."
"Bani, yeh koi insaani parliament nahi hai jahan tum vote maangke neta bano. Aaj kal toh human society mein bhi neta dara dhamka ke vote maangte hai. Tum kaha jee rahi ho? Abhi bhi dimaag satyug mein chodke aayi ho kya? Here things are different, baby. We all have a part that is animal. We're not entirely human ki pyaar, respect aur uss sabh se baat maan le. Not everyone will accept you out of respect. Even if they respect you, it doesn't gurantee that they'll follow you. You can't train a wild animal with love and respect. Na, baby, na. They're only reigned by fear. Advice lo uss person se jo already uss point pe hai," Veer pointed to himself, "Agar yeh pyaar respect aur kori bakwaas se main apne pariwaar ko control karun toh ghanta yeh log kaam karenge. I can expect Sam and Tapish bhai to do it by just saying but dad... na, dad ko main yeh pyaar and stuff se nahi apne control mein laa sakta hun. Unhe bhi dara ke samjhana padta hai ki he's crossing a line with me and he's forgetting I'm not just his son but also the king."
"Mujhe pata hai, Veer, par kya yeh zaroori hai ki sabko dara ke rakhu. It only makes way for dicatorship. There wouldn't be anyone who'll give you honest advice when you're actually going wrong. I don't want that. Agar main kabhi honestly galat hun toh koi toh ho jo mujhe yeh batane ki himmat rakhe ki I'm doing wrong. I know our animal counterparts are reigned by fear but we also have human counterpart right? What about that? I want them to trust me and I want to be able to trust them."
"Okay... You have a certain kind of idea in your mind. Your decision. Main bas yahi kehna chahta hun ki don't let yourself think you can't do something. You can. Tum Adi-Naagin ho."
"Hmm... Yeh toh lag hi raha hai. Abh toh tumhare dad bhi mera saath de rahe hai."
Veer took a deep breathe and held her by her arms.
