Oh no, this makes me worry, now I'm not looking too forward to it...not that I'm saying I don't like the webtoon but I'm going to get upset and frustrated I'm sure...I might actually take your advice on waiting to read cuz I don't want to stay angry or frustrated for weeks on in because of the plot lol Thanks for the heads up
OK so i read this on novelspoilers ages ago:
basically: when coming home from a ball she gets kidnapped along with mother-in-law and lize. lize and MIL get rescued but lize lies and says edith was in on it and left already. edith gets tortured, eventually escapes, thinks everyone has abandoned her, and then gives herself up to the household guards because she thinks final condition is dying by ML's hands.
If you want full details i yoinked this right off of the novel forums:
Duchess, Lizzie and Edith were ambushed from coming home a international ball. Lizzie was taken first and Edith after but the duchess only worried about Lizzie. Edith's brother, Shane, beat her up for resisting strongly. They were taken to the Wesley Manor which Edith's family owns. Lizzie and the duchess were kept in the ground floor whereas Edith was kept in the underground dungeon. Shane beat her up badly but Sophia (more on her later) used whips and torture tools to harm Edith. While Cliff came and saved the two ladies on the ground floor, he asked her where Edith was and Lizzie lies: "When I awoke she was not here. I assumed she was a spy and was a part of the scheme." So Cliff left without checking a small pathway that led to the underground basement. Edith, who sensed they came and left, was in despair. She was badly hurt and was left alone with a hired mercenary. At first, the mercenary was mean but Edith softened him by talking about family. She used Edith's memories to tell her sad family history which made the mercenary loosen the rope tying her. She left and ran for dear life. When Killian came after winning the war, he immediately went to search for Edith. The others, especially Lizzie, tried to convince him that she was a spy and should be left alone but Killian shouts: "She is my family! My wife! No matter what you have to say, she is a Ludwig and the one whom I love." He came upon the Wesley Manor where Cliff tells him what he saw but Killian spots the small passage to the underground dungeon, Killian argues with Cliff saying that due to his negligence, Edith is probably suffering. They came to her room with the rope undone, the terrible room, the torture devices and the blood. Killian gets angry at Cliff again and set off to find Edith. Time passes, Edith limped all the way from the winter forest to a carriage of a Baron couple. She was kindly driven to a village where she cleaned herself up, wore shabby clothes and covered her beaten face and body. There she found out, the Duke's knights were in the village. She boarded a carriage to leave to next village where she bought essentials to live on the road in case, She bought three potatoes since she hasn't eaten for a few days and used the remaining potatoes like hot packs. When she reached the village, she realizes that maybe the last condition was to be killed by Killian, so she submits herself to the Duke's knights who carefully brought her to the Duchy. Killian finds out and rushes home.
