FL’s dad’s original wife was killed by FL’s grandfather(the emperor at the time). Mary’s female leads mum, the princess, in hopes of being king. The FL’s dad got himself a son, from a mistress,who’s raised as FL’s Mom’s mutual son.
He then kills both his wife, and Emperor, because the one that holds the emperor position is normally chosen by the princess. But the princess(fL’s mom) rejected that title. He then makes HIMSELF the emperor, against ALL rules, claims it’s temporary till someone of real blood is available for the monarchy position, in this case it’s the FL, but the people include her step bro because he was introduced as a legitimate child of FL’s mom, giving him that blood needed to inherit the monarch.
SO dad basically wants to wipe out the previous royal blood line and insert himself in as revenge. Which is why he keeps trying to get rid of his daughter to fAR away princess. Litterally dudes who have no business in his kingdom. One way ticket to send her away.
The aunt is also power hungry and has direct contact with the FL so she plays a crucial role. But do note that the FL’s dad (the current emperor) put all his relatives in power.
Fact check me tho, because I might have them mixed up
Why she calls her cousin father ? ( ̄∇ ̄")
