Bab 65: 65. Haughty maid.

After diligently explaining to the poor bird that she had no treats to give to it, if that was its reason for waiting around, the dove had gone on its way but not before giving her a wicked bombastic side-eye to show its disappointment in her. A gesture that left Neriah really puzzled.

With her lover's letter in her hand and his assurance in her heart Neriah had no fear any longer. She trusted him. If he said he was going with her then she believed he was truly going with her. She only wondered how he would rescue her. She knew he loved her. He was willing to risk his life and save her

He was just considering her safety.

That was true love right there. Now that she thought about it, if he appeared out of nowhere, there were Avelian and Tragonian knights everywhere, it would be difficult to escape with her. They would get caught.
