I'm not defending murder here in any capacity but. Just to get facts straight, he sat by while his children engaged in a death match by his own command, and then when his daughter actively participated in said death match, he changed the rules of the game bc he decided he liked other children better. And then killed her. Not to mention decade's of child neglect for all 3 children, letting Arthur grow up in poverty, etc. He has plenty of sin on his plate, the deaths caused by FL could technically be considered his becuase he never stepped up and stopped a CHILD from learning that murder=love.
Was FL good? Not in the slightest. But she was shaped by her environment, and her father, who constantly had the power to stop, reprimand, scold, or otherwise dissuade her mindset, ACTIVELY CHOSE NOT TO.

So yeah. Him being portrayed as a misunderstood cold father is infuriating.

Imma drop this. I want revenge for the king who killed her not the other way around. It really was something in shoujo mangas men are always getting away with their sins I want them to be killed any other way.
