Spoiler!
The bio mom will not be gone forever, but the dad will marry the duchess, with tania and lucians permission, but i think this is much more of a relief bc instead of the mom being dead or straight evil she's questionable and not innocent, but you could definately understand her, she holds no ill will to her daughter, and the dad can actually move on instead of being tied down by a woman like other dads
