The Young Lord of House Finlanz - Chapter 49

The story tries to show that the father is good and loves his daughter, but in my view he is a FAILURE as a father. His daughter is disrespected several times right in front of him by his wife and stepdaughter, and he should think about how they treat her when he is not around! And he is too weak to deal with this.
His daughter receives a request to write a poem, and he allows the other daughter to turn it into a competition, instead of teaching boundaries and making it clear that the request was NOT for her.
This reminds me a bit of Florentia’s father. He was also weak when dealing with the family at first, but as soon as he realized that his daughter only had him, and thought about what could happen to her if something happened to him, he changed. He quickly tried to secure his position and managed to build a profitable business so his daughter would have money in the future.
That is a father who truly thought about his daughter. I am only reading this to see the moment when this father finally wakes up.
