you guessed correctly. in the novel, it states that aria's father was part of the imperial family but was banished. he then became a forgotten noble living in the kingdom of croa, the neighboring country. the novel also states that only members of the imperial families are blessed with magic.
OMIIIIIIII Thank you for the info!!! What a revenge. Her being more noble in blood than Mielle bahhaha
Wait a minute...wouldn’t that mean Asher and Aria are related!!!! ಠ_ಠ
Nope, since Aria's Paternal family is from a different kingdom. It's just that every Imperial families from different kingdom have magic. (Or something like that, It's been a long time since I've read the novel) (￣∇￣")
Ohhhh that makes much more sense thank you(づ￣ ³￣)づ
So I reread from chap 1 and I just noticed the hints of Aria’s dad....is he related to the royal family? Powerful noble? Also she was so young in the early chapters. she grew so muchhhh
