In episode 15, Puck referred to Emilia as his Daughter.

Why is this? A few thoughts I have come up with to explain the reasoning come
down to:

  * They have a relationship like Father/Daughter. (In my opinion they do not have this, they seem more like best friends than this.)
  * Puck IS her father. (Again, this seems convoluted to me, as it is stated that Puck is a Spirit.
  * the 'Daughter' terminology is code for something else, Emilia likely having something like this for Puck too.

It is also said by Puck in episode 18 something along the lines of "In
accordance with my contract, I shall now destroy the world".

When asked why, the answer given was "Emilia is my entire reason for existing.
There is no reason for me to exist in a world without her."

This shows some kind of deeper bond between them, deeper than I can think.

What exactly _is_ their relationship?

Why does Puck refer to Emilia as 'My Daughter'?


Puck is a spirit contracted to Emilia.

His identity was revealed during the royal election speech, where during her
speech (which was shortened in the anime) Roswaal provoked Subaru to instigate
a few of the elders and the knights for her being a half-elf with silver hair.

Puck, sensing danger and Emilia's distraught, appeared and threatened to
freeze the whole court.

The elder stopped his ruckus after seeing and recognizing who Puck was: one of
the Four Great Spirits (in term of being old and powerful), the Beast of the
end of the Eternally Frozen Land who was created to destroy the world (there
are many biblical comparisons in the series, the title basically makes him a
comparison to the four horseman of the apocalypse).

A few years before the series began, Puck found a young Emilia and decided to
stop his intended plan in destroying the world and care for her by making a
pact/contract with her. Thus accidentally stopping the world destruction by
him.

For seven years, Puck cared for Emilia like a father, choosing her clothing,
hairstyle, speech and manners like a father would. The 7am-5pm appearance was
also just part of the contract, as you can see in episode 18 that he appears
at night.

The death of Emilia causes Puck to continue what he is destined to do: to
destroy the world, knowing, however, that Reinhardt the current master
swordsman will end him if not the Royal Protector Dragon, Volcanica.

In the second movie, the story of Emilia's childhood is shown. After they
defeated Melakuera, she told Puck "You're my father now", and Puck laughed.
