so the duke of halbert -- Valar, who is currently absent is not her biological dad, he is her mother's brother (essentially her uncle)
Valar and Sione (her mother) dad was abusive. Sione was constantly put down because she was a woman and she couldn't be the heir. their mother was also abused and died, leaving her and her baby brother. she endured everything for the sake of her beloved brother and she was determined to raise him.
when Sione is of age, her father forced her to marry a man from southern empire -- regent Ludwig. This man is obsessed with her and he made a deal with her father so he could have her. Sione resented him because she was forced to separate from her brother, he took her away from the only person she loves and keep her going. Because of his obsession, she ran away when she was pregnant with FL. Things happened and she died, she entrusted FL to Valar to raise her.
FL saw her mother's memory when Ludwig kidnapped her. He regretted his past with Sione and saw her reflection on FL, that's why he kidnapped her. But he was so regretful that he knelt in front of FL and begged for forgiveness.
And then comes the plot twist, Ludwig is also not her biological father Based on the story development, her father might be related to why FL is sickly and there's also something involved with magic
