I mean he actually does care about her (even in the best life) and was just distancing himself to keep her safe from the emperor. If he went to her ball then the emperor would take advantage of them even more than he is doing now, cause of the weakness he showed of actually caring about his daughter. And from what it seems to show so far the staff never hated her, but fl did have a temper which they were used to. However, it seems to have been mostly directed to other girls that got close to her ex bf. Anyway its just a sad situation for father and daughter.

Nu-uh hun, you're totally wrong,that dad is the sweetest thing I have ever seen, like the person he treasured the most was literally our FL, never once did he NOT think about her--
If you dun understand why I'm sayin this, check his backstory out, I feel so bad for him

i guess all the times she asked her maids to know if he would come visit her along the years didnt count... Heck, u didnt even visit her in her debutant ball dude...
(though I guess back then her maids and knights didnt give a f*ck about the fl so they wouldnt inform him of anything so I guess it checks out!! BUT still hate u for being a trash father~ Tsundere or not no smile in the whorld would make up for u neglecting ur child for all these years! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ though again part of it is the servants fault)
