Comment by AashiTheBardi on I Became The Male Lead’S Adopted Daughter - Chapter 119

@AashiTheBardi Regina is her biological mother and her biological father (the wandering knight) is an actual monster and also a noble

@Ghostmare then, I am confused to why she called 'aunt' then. Is it cuz she doesn't accept her mother as hers'

@It's_me krish because her biological mom is her current father's sister and since she doesn't have any longing for the biological mother she only see her as her father's (her biological uncle) sister, so her aunt

@Ghostmare Regina is Phileo's cousin. But in the beginning Phileo refers to Leo as his niece. My cousin does this with her daughter (calls me auntie). Makes it a little easier than calling like a certain relation of cousin (2nd?) Or whatever it is.

But yeah. Leo never really thought of Regina as her mother. Just as the woman who gave birth to her.

@AashiTheBardi she's the birth mother but Leo doesn't really feel any sort of connection to her as mother and daughter, plus, only a few people know the truth of her birth,looking back at the scene, only phileo,rupert,and her maternal grandpa knows she's regina's daughter, not even the second wife of her grandpa knows the truth and she's calling her aunt to keep things that way, regina will only be known as her aunt because she's here dad's cousin and that their only connection

@It's_me krish Leo already accepted the fact that no matter what happens, Phileo is his REAl father so she already callled her aunt. it was also to ensure that no onewill be able to know that
