Edda holds close to Nymeia because her FAMILY says so (she can thank her great-grandmom for that, the family used to be balls-to-the-walls Nald'thal aficionados (gotta make dem coins)).
Aside from that, she unwittingly uses Nymeia as an escape. Doing her 'duty' isn't a choice - it's her fate. Even if it makes her unhappy - it was meant to be. If she remains good and pious, then perhaps it will all work itself out in the end.
