Lize, the biggest fraudster, b***h, wh**e, wench, you get the picture, is the mastermind behind Edith's (MC) misery. They (the b***h, Duchess and Edith) get kidnapped during the war. They do eventually get rescued by Cliff, well everyone except Edith. The d***head leaves her a** behind to rot! Don't worry though, Killian or someone eventually saves her.
