apparantly, after killian join the war, edith soon will get kidnap along with duchess & lize. cliff knew abt this and save his mother & lize while edith was left alone in cold and severely hurt at the abandoned basement (he didnt even bother to check the basement eurgh) . after some times later, kilian went home and none of his fam try to find edith since they accused her as a traitor. killia furious and look for her for days without sleep or eat. while, Edith hide at a town and plan to escape with the money save. but bfr she could run away, she realised she better off die at killian hand than bear this pain. so she choose to surrender herself to the duchy guard. they found her with severe bruise and injury (they barely can recognise her since her face badly hurt) while hugging a hot potato. the punishment was set and edith was abt to get killed by killian. but killian refuse however edith insist him to kill her (leads to the final restriction to be fulfilled).
