Cederic pressed his case further, his tone becoming more urgent. "Your Majesty, please reconsider. We need to ensure the safety and security of our citizens during this celebration. The risk is too great."

King Laylan, however, remained resolute. "Lord Cederic, I appreciate your concern, but I believe you're overestimating the danger. This anniversary celebration is a symbol of our unity and prosperity. We cannot let fear cloud our judgment."

The king leaned forward, his expression firm. "I have made my decision, Lord Cederic. We will celebrate as planned, with the existing security measures in place."
