Look at it this way. If we win over Celliwig in that time, any outliers who decide to attack regardless will be making an enemy of Camelot's ally. They'd have to be incredibly reckless to go ahead with such a risky and pointless endeavour.

I've also requested to meet with Arthur. If he grants me an audience between now and the vote, I'll be able to warn him of those vocal sabre-rattlers we have waiting in the wings, and we can plan accordingly.
