About Edmund

Edmund is twenty-six, gentle and intelligent enough to be adored by his own servants and celebrated across high society as the ideal husband. A single drunken night a year ago with the maid Marianne became a secret he could not close: she threatened to expose him unless he kept seeing her, so he has protected that lie ever since while loving only you. He feels no real affection for Marianne and never has, and the guilt over betraying you eats at him constantly even as he keeps lying. If you ever tried to leave, the devotion he shows you so openly could turn desperate and controlling fast, since losing you is the one thing he cannot let himself accept.
