enormous meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially by the very man many among them had already begun worshipping as divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, the old naga stepped forward with shaking hands before bowing deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried genuine emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are from Naga Lok, my

revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because by now stories of what happened inNaga Lok1had spread partially through whispers and rumors, though most believed them exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet seeing an entire group arrive fromNaga Lok1itself changed the atmosphere instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile the old naga slowly lifted his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We did not expect ...that you would still remember us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several others nodded emotionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Nods!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One younger naga woman near the back quietly wiped tears from her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because for them—This was not merely meeting a king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was meeting the one they believed had saved their people from destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now—The fact that he remembered them personally only deepened that devotion further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile Devara simply looked at them quietly for a moment before letting out a small helpless sigh internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Sigh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he could already feel where this situation was heading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was not sure he liked becoming the center of religious devotion from yet another realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a few moments after Devara recognized them as people from Naga Lok, the throne hall remained completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathered nagas looked visibly emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some still seemed unable to process that the young king before them not only remembered their realm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But also remembered one insignificant old naga among countless faces he must have encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly naga slowly stepped forward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aged hands trembled lightly against the wooden staff he carried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he spoke this time, his voice carried both hesitation and deep sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My king...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly, carefully choosing his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We came here because ...we wished to become part of this kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That immediately caught the attention of everyone present inside the throne hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old naga continued slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After hearing that you had established a kingdom inBhulok1...many among us could not remain in Naga Lok peacefully anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes lowered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not because we hated our homeland.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But because ...for the first time, we heard of a kingdom where we felt we might not be feared simply for existing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words settled heavily inside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several among the gathered naga immigrants quietly lowered their heads at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because fear from humans was not unfamiliar to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout generations, many nagas who visited Bhulok hid their identities carefully or lived isolated from ordinary settlements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some kingdoms outright hunted serpent beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others treated them as dangerous omens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even peaceful nagas were often forced to live cautiously among surface civilizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old naga let out a tired sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Sigh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were uncertain. Very uncertain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We did not know whether you would even allow us inside your kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A younger naga man standing near the back clenched his fists slightly before speaking softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many told us we were foolish to hope. They said humans would never truly accept nagas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another naga woman added quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But after hearing the stories about you... we still wanted to try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old naga slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Nod!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his expression softened with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We arrived here weeks ago. On the very day of Maha Shivaratri.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he said that, several among the crowd behind him visibly brightened remembering that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old naga’s eyes themselves seemed to shimmer slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then ...we witnessed your Tandava.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The throne hall grew quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We witnessed the dance before Mahadev.

We feared approaching you directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We worried ...that once we revealed who we truly were ...you might reject us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final words came out quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Painfully honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because despite all their hope—Fear had never fully left them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So instead of approaching immediately, they had spent the past weeks quietly living among the growing crowds and immigrants entering Trivenivrata, observing the kingdom carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching its people. Watching its laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching whether the stories surrounding Devara matched reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now—After weeks of hesitation—They had finally gathered enough courage to stand before him openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old naga slowly bowed deeply once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We do not seek special treatment. We only seek a place where we may live without hiding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where our children need not fear merely because they were born as nagas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he finally raised his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And so ...we came to ask whether you would allow us to become citizens of Trivenivrata.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive throne hall fell silent afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a tense silence.
