"Why do the main character's parents often get the short end of the stick?"
That is what Mila asked while looking up at the sky. She was grumbling toward whoever sent her inside the novel she read before she died.
She becomes the mother of the main character, whose parents are both dead. Mila's character was merely a tool for the MC's character development.
It's a simple, fix-all solution. The author wanted to make the audience instantly sympathetic towards the main character, and the best thing he did was to have the MC's parents die.

After she avoided her death in the original plot, death flags kept coming for her. 

Will the original plot not end if she's not dead?

Main character's parents must die

The Duke of Dwight was shaking as he crumpled the letter for Christopher, written by his daughter.

The crown prince is also fuming in anger with his father as they are both furious with the content of the letter, but of course it's them who give other meaning to the letter, of which the only purpose is to ask for time for Ginalou to meet Christopher.

"We need to make that kid pay for what he has done! Let's attack his territory and take his land! It is much easier to make him fall now that he is the only esclamado around! Let's send him to his grave!"

"No, calm down, crown prince. If we do that, what will happen to Princess Ginalou? If something really does happen to the two, then our princess is the one who will suffer the most. She will also not be able to find someone else to betroth!"

"My future in-law.”
