The blood of my beloved

"I admit that as a man who stands at the head of a seemingly ruthless family, my words are untrustworthy but Freska, you carry the blood of my beloved woman and wife. When you are at your lowest even though I am harsh I will always help you stand." 

Freska Stature the eldest daughter of family head Akuri Stature, heh, she felt quite unwilling. Her father would preach to her every now and again these words but her mother is not here. Devotion to a woman who is gone, what is the meaning of his words? What did they represent when you are motherless?
