Iseols father was a disipline of mount hwa and he’s also one of the people who abandoned the sect. He really regretted it so his life goal was to revive the plum blossoming sword techniques so he practiced the sword every single day, he was too ashamed to go back to the sect so he was gonna make it up by reviving the plum blossoms, only then he was gonna be able to face them. Unfortunately he died before he could achieve his goal so that’s why Iseol wanted to achieve it for him so that’s why she followed chunmyung around, because she saw him make the plum petals that her father desperately tried to create
She’s the patriarch’s daughter who follows chungmyung around trying to marry him (i forgot the reason, i think it was bc she would be married off by the clan so she wanted to at least choose her own husband or smth) and of course he had no interest in her so he kept running away but then she sees sajae (the only female fighter) and that makes her realize she can be something else and not just someone’s wife so she joins mount hwa and goes from a delicate pretty young lady to a Bandit just like the rest of mount hwa
I get that her mom probably isnt being mentioned as a mystery towards us readers but it’s still illogical for no one to talk about her, at least the princess should ask what happened to her. We dont have to get an answer, it can still stay anonymous but at least her existence should be mentioned
I have a feeling that she (the mom) might be related to the emperor, so that's y this little girl got that special ability. So once the emperor gets screen time probably the mom will also be mentioned..... This is just a guess on my part so not a spoiler unless it becomes true hahaha
But then, she said that the primera was born outside of the imperial family yk
They probably aren't mentioning her in front of mc since they won't be able to meet (her mom is on the battlefield). Telling a child and arousing their curiosity when they can't meet is cruel
She might be a distant sister who was we'd to the Duke so now she is not a part of imperial family ....I'm not so sure either let's see
I get why they dont mention her bht what i’m saying is that it’s weird that even MC isnt thinking or talking about her, she might be in a child’s body but she’s grown. How does one go back home and not wonder who/where her mom is
