As a woman herself, Frey's intuition suggested that something significant had happened between Killian and Valeria, forcing Valeria to leave.
It seemed absurd for her father to seek revenge on Valeria and imprison her in the basement. The basement lacked basic facilities, including a bathroom, making it an implausible place to confine someone.
