"She can take care of herself," Daryl says. It's neither a warning or an admonishment. It's the simple truth. Beth has lived through worse shit than the queen knows. Thinking back on her dying desire to kill that cop bitch, she's probably lived through worse shit than Daryl knows.

Which is an unsettling thought, so he sets it aside. Daryl keeps sewing. "She told you 'bout... Georgia." About how things are there. "Ain't no security there. Ain't none here, neither."

The unspoken advice being that no one needs to get married unless they want to. Daryl isn't worried about Beth getting carried off, so much as her getting tied up in some stupid political shit neither of them are prepared to get her out of. If it's a fight, they'll handle it, but none of them know how to do the courtly dance the queen is describing.
