NEOMA was relieved that the end of the "tunnel" that Gin created really took them back to the Royal Palace.
Of course, she didn't want to trust the black cat man. But the circumstance didn't allow her to be too hostile because they had no other means to get out of there. Lewis came there without a solid plan. Apparently, her son's "plan" was to make the whole place explode. She didn't know how he planned to do that and she was too tired to ask.
When she realized that the tunnel led them to the prayer room in Yule's Palace– her father's residence– she thought she could finally rest.
But she was instead greeted by her Papa Boss's sword.
Great.
