You know Manik as Yuvaraj from long time , so many of you are fans some admire him some dream about him, I even know enemies too admire and jealous about his fame among common public, but what we see is not always correct he faced many problems he came across people who back stabbed him some even directly attacked him, he is burning inside till he can be shelter to all. I am proud of him that is why I want him as king this early when I am this strong enough. I hope you all too agree with me who ever are against it can come forward and object we will stop it now" king waited

A old lady came forward "king we all respect you a lot, as our Yuvaraj created a great image of yours in our minds.

Eat what we eat, sleep with us on floor as aguard to our family we are proud of him we proudly accept him as our king but he is not feeling good when you are strong and healthy."

Your word is like commandment so never ever let others take advantage of this. Here are your stamp, this stamp Cary more power than king. Even king will obey it. So never use it for worthless things. Only in your mahal you will oppose king once you step out you should always be his shadow.

Finally sons will be with us to night, you and Manik will be shifted to you wing. Be happy and make him happy" Nandini touched her feet
