I was so excited when she confessed like, holy shit a confession in the same chapter!? It's a miracle!
Then he opened the hole that makes dumb sounds and now I want to slap the stupid out of him.
Akarunania had a pretty messed up family. Raised her as a replacement until they finally had a male heir and because she was already "damaged" due to the scar on her face she was useless for political marriages
Well, we don't know when she got the scar, but you are certainly right about that messed up family. They basically did the same thing to her as what happened to David Reimer, or like Bridgette from Guilty Gear for a less depressing comparison, so she's lucky she got out of there when she did before there was a permanent negative impact.
