God dang what an entrance gramps and holy hell she didn't even know her birthday

Pretty sad that even if gramps will take her only Lily will come with her as Lila and Daisy is about to get married and Nora is the head maid of that estate (Lila ... no more blade strapped on thighs maid ... Sadge)

...I keep waiting for the "other shoe" to drop.
AKA a flimsy explanation on why the MC's father has been all but absent from her life and had her leave a life of wanting (always considering she's supposed to be the daughter of a noble).
And said flimsy explanation will somehow position him in a very sympathetic role even if that meant he treated a child the way he did.(it will still be a bullshit excuse, but the author will present it as a valid excuse).

Alternatively I can only fathom a couple other excuses (though I doubt that's the case) for example her father knows that she a "reincarnation" and as such he doesn't consider it his daughter. Or there is some kind of unseen "threat" ,be it a rival, a curse, an enemy, a political reason that "forces" him to give up his daughter as collateral to a benefactor etc.

Come on, people. The reasons for why her father is hidding her are so obvious. Have you paid attention in chapter 3, when he has a "flashback" and think "could the future be changed"? Why do you think he refused a post in the capital, and didn't make his daughter birth known when she would certainly have been the prince's fiancée if he did? Even the spy understood something's deeper than "he doesn't care" is going on, since all the maid assigned to her are the best personnel in the estate.

Anyone got spoilers?
spoilers for why her father keeps her locked up?

Below should be revealed not too far from now

Her bloodline on her fathers side is part fairy and sometimes people are born able to use certain powers. Her fathers ability allows him to see someones future and when he touched his daughter for the first time ,after she was born, he saw her future starting a war / being a villainess/ being imprisoned for life. To avoid this outcome he began avoiding the royal family and locked her away to try to avoid events that would lead to that future for her

there's a lot more to the above spoilers like why her family treats her like crap but thatd involve some giga spoilers im not prepared to write out lol

Okay people, I went ahead and looked up the WN just to answer this question.

Obviously spoilers

As you might have guessed, this world is the world of an otome game. Magnolia (age 16) is a secondary villainess. She and the main villainess Gardenia (age 17) are competing for the crown princess position with the loser becoming a concubine. In the game her defining features were her ditziness and huge chest. She would harass the obligatory commoner/baron's illegitimate daughter heroine Margaret (age 16) while battling with the main villainess for the prince's love. As the trope goes, the heroine wins, both villainesses have the engagement broken off in a public condemnation event, and they are confined to a convent for the rest of their lives.

Adding insult to injury, Magnolia's father Gerald (age 42) and brother Brian (age 19) were both enthralled with the heroine and did not defend her as she cried out to them. However, Magnolia's bullying was so pathetically low-level it only endeared her to the fans of the game. Her character design (beautiful, dumb, huge tits) made her so popular, she became the heroine of the sequel.

The set up of that is as follows:

Prince Julius (age 18) studying from abroad at the academy alongside heroine, Magnolia, etc. could not bear to see her mistreatment and tried to ask for her hand in marriage. The request was denied because criminal scum was not appropriate for a foreign prince. Later on, Uncle Claude (age 32) hears what happened and is heartbroken that a niece he had never even heard of had gone through this. He protests that the punishment of life imprisonment did not fit the crime and asked to take Magnolia back to Azenda. This request is also denied.

In desperation, Claude seeks out Magnolia himself and manages to catch a glimpse of her in the carriage as she is led away. He falls in love with her at first sight. He reveals the secret of his birth as the Grand Duke of Azenda everyone believed to be dead. He declares the reestablishment of the Principality of Azenda, raises an army, and wages war against the Kingdom of Ascald to free Magnolia. Hearing this news, Prince Julius also declares war on Ascald to save Magnolia.

Gerald's reason for concealing Magnolia all this time is because he has seen this future. The best solution he could come up with is concealing her existence for as long as he can because the story is trying to correct everything he is doing back to the original plot.

That is really nothing but a hint that can mean a number of things, from the father being ,reincarnated/time traveler/esper of some short/etc to just a paranoid man who had a bad dream.

Also it's quite silly from a narrative perspective to have anyone estrange and ostracize the one person who can do something that can potentially destroy you.

I've seen a ton of other such narratives where someone is trying to avoid a known future where it ends bad for them.
If it's a stranger they just try to avoid it. If it's unavoidable then try to befriend, cajole, enamor etc said person.
But never such a thing as isolating that person and giving it the cold shoulder. And that's because such a move is making it all but certain that it will have no qualms to bring you down, if for no other reason than just out of spite for isolating it whilst giving its sibling everything.
