LORE CHANGE
You might already be aware that I was thinking about modifying some things within the lore of the game. Well, I have defined the details of this, so I am now comfortable in divulging what will be changed.
The rebellion will not be not started by the Irish Houses. Instead, only by House Venegard alone.
This implies quite a lot of small shifts in the narrative (I am making them brief, but you will see them directly in the next update, with a partial rewrite and a new half chapter):
Ireland and Wales have been united for decades in the kingdom of Camelot. There is no significant hostility between them, even if there still are cultural and social differences.
The Venegards (the parents) rebelled against Arthur mainly because of the storic treatment of mages in Camelot. There was a purge a century ago which slaughtered the majority of them, and Uther hunted mages to use them in his bellic efforts. The Venegards used the temporary power weakness after Arthur's coronation to rebel. (They are not aware of his view on magic)
MC is offered in marriage as the only unmarried child of the Venegards, to show that they submit to the rightful King. Quite literally, they were forced to sacrifice a child in order to negotiate a peace after a military defeat.
As such, the source of hostility/distrust towards MC will not be their identity as Irish, but specifically as Venegard (so, a traitor).
What is even more important now is MC's status as a mage. The parents are convinced Arthur is another King who will persecute mages, and as such MC wanted to keep their identity hidden. But after Bedivere, they know they have been found out. And they fear the repercussions from Arthur.
