In the end, Naera and her kidnapper were found in the western forest, where Captain of the Guard Victor Loss was once defeated. The princess was freed, and the criminal was arrested.
The girl managed to offer Carnel assistance in the capture, but one governor knew, he finally agreed, or he was too busy with the enthusiasm, one thing was clear: the redhead wouldn't be able to add "saving the princess" to her knightly to-do list. And also... She had to pray that, due to the commotion, the information wouldn't become public knowledge, tarnishing the honor of Milady. This was perhaps the most serious downside of the governor's approach.
In one way or another, the Nosentrot waits/learns about/sees with her own eyes that the princess is saved, and again, if possible (because I don't understand the details of where everyone was all this time), she thanks the governor for his promptness.
