I think the father sabotage the carriage to kill the FL but things get sour the mother and child dies instead of the FL. So dickhead change the plan to "let's make her life a living hell"
Who knows what's inside that bastard's mind but he wasn't with them at that time so he probably just loved his wife and not his daughter since the brother is the heir and the bastard just probably saw the FL as a tool of marriage to make connections and gain more political power... that's just my theory
But what if Ronan? Ranon? (Ahhh I forgot) the blond ghost guy who helps FL is the Crown prince, Chartreuse older brother that he wants to save. Remember when the blond ghost guy said to FL to grant his one and only wish and to remember(?) His name. I mean the kingdom is HUGE I'm sure FL isn't the only one who can use magic or can see ghost. What I'm talking saying is Maybe blond guy is the astral body of Chartreuse older brother, just theory ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
You know what I think you might be on to something
hold up… maybe that’s why the crown prince is always “sick” in bed cus he’s always astral projecting :0
No bec this theory actually makes sense Like... I can see this happening oh my gahd
I thought the same thing! Also, earlier in the story, it is mentioned that the curse gives you near death experience. Might also explain why the blonde ghost does not feature much but only pops up occasionally!
