    実の父親
    Does it only mean a hard "real father"? Any chance it can mean "loving/sincere father"? I might have done a major mistranslation if not T-T

    Full text:
    そんな時に現れた実の父親、そして貴族令嬢としての生活が始まり、貴族学院までの一生。
    My translation:
    Then came a loving father who adopted her. And so, her new life as a baron’s daughter began—until she wound up at the academy.

    Context:
    The girl was adopted.
