''Not giving him a map was stupid. And pointless, because he probably has bettter maps than any they could provide. The only purpose that refusing the request for a map would serve would be to antagonize him and insure that he lacked the motive, as well as the means, to assist them.''

Yes, you can say it wasn't a good decision. But not giving a foreign ruler maps of your kingdom is certainly an understandable position to take. Even Neia thought so.

However, all of this is besides the point.

''If Gustavo had been willing to order that Neia not give Ainz a map, she wouldn't have given him a map. He didn't order it, therefore Neia was acting well within the scope of her existing orders to not be a giant dick. Arguing that this constitutes treason is just revealing (again) that someone hasn't even read the books.''

For someone who likes to accuse me of not reading the books, you're sure doing a excellent job of not reading between the lines. Neia saw Gustav politely lie to Ainz so as to not give him a map and she decided, all on her own, to give him one anyway.

Yes, she did not directly defy an order. It wasn't treason by the letter of it, but by the spirit. She decided to go against the intention of her superior to help a foreign leader instead. Sure, her reasoning was understandable, and rooted in good ideals and well wishes for both Ainz and her country. That doesn't change the fact that as a soldier, she doesn't have the purview to be making such decisons against the implied wishes of her superior officer.
