"Absolutely not," King Nereon said firmly when Princess Liyana requested access to the palace's restricted levels. "Those areas contain dangerous magical systems that require specialized training to navigate safely."
"Father, we're dealing with dimensional terrorists who may be feeding off our power infrastructure," Princess Liyana replied, her royal authority strengthening her voice. "The safety of the entire domain is at stake."
"The technical staff can conduct any necessary inspections," King Nereon insisted. "There's no need to risk untrained individuals in those environments."
"With respect, Your Majesty," Radji interjected, "we're not untrained. We've dealt with dimensional manipulation before, and our abilities might detect things that conventional inspections would miss."
"The answer is no," King Nereon said with finality. "I won't authorize access to those areas."
