Not to mention, the nation's entire defense is currently Greed. If he leaves, while getting back would not be that long of a trip, it would mean the entire defense threat of the nation is distracted, and those who wish to, can try and cause harm.
Eliana also likely thinks she is still alright in terms of public acceptance. Being a former noble, and her current nobility outranking even that. So expecting some maner of politeness, even if only political, would not be unexpected.
However, she has forgotten that her rep is basically shit tier. For a long time now, bad rumors have gone unchecked, such as she cheated on the prince and was caught. Plus, she not only did not "fulfill her duty" of being a sacrifice, but she up and caused the court mage to literally quit his job, renounce his titles and loyalty, flee the country, and take up work and citizenship of a neighboring country which she now is queen of. To many, it sounds very much like she has a lot of (reasonable to those who know the truth) hostility towards her (former) home country, and is looking to cause its downfall. Even though she does not hold such feelings.
If she brought Greed with her, it would 99% only be seen as a threat/power move. Similar to her taking the army with her. To be honest, she should not even go at all. Send a few envoys like a political ambassador, or a few higher ranked knights, or even just send Chris with a sealed letter specifically giving him to the king to dispose of him (since he could technically be called a traitor and all) as he pleases. Side note, that boy needs some serious help with his seperation anxiety.
