The thing is, we all know it was a trick and whatnot but Neia believes that the previous over-reliance on Ainz is why he wasn't able to finish things in his first round with Jaldaboath. This led to countless additional deaths as a result.

Of course, the real reason is because the Roble Holy Kingdom was still too fundamentally hostile to the SK, but that's a different issue.

So Neia isn't just thinking "I don't want to look greedy" or whatever.

She's thinking "how many other people will have to die for my sin of weakness?"

And Ainz, thinking about it later, concurs that it would be troublesome to get into the resurrection business. It leads to disloyalty and strife and people dying who otherwise could have lived. Neia is wrong about some of the details, but in the larger picture she's right, borrowing the Sorcerer King's strength because of her own weakness has terrible costs for other people.

Ainz could learn a thing or two from her.
