In actuality, Evie hated that she needed to end up saying that she would become the damsel in distress again, but it was the harsh truth she could only accept. She knew that joining a war when she was only a powerless human sounded so idiotic. It was something not done. Even if she allowed herself to think twice or second guess her decision, she even might be tempted to pull back on this plan and reconsider it. But she just somehow knew that her decision was right. She had to choose the lesser of the two evils.
She could never live it down if the enemy ended up using her and thus, being the cause of Gavriel's downfall. She refused to accept it if he ends up losing because of her. Though she knew that her being with him in the frontline could also be a huge disadvantage for Gavriel, she believed that this husband of hers would never let her watch him lose a fight, much less an important war like this one.
