Ok, so, reading some comments, a lot of people think that Emily is Corvo's daughter - especially with that twitter post about Empress Jessamine and Corvo.

If she is, what if her mother and Corvo never wanted her to know that it was Corvo? That way, she didn't accidentally blurt out "Dad" or "Father" in front of others. That would also explain why she says something along the lines of him marrying her if he didn't marry her mother - because she was never told that he was her father. That way, no one could question her being next in line for the throne. No one could question her heritage because, for all anyone could know, she could be of high nobility on both sides. Plus, she wouldn't get hurt because of who her father really is.

And since Corvo has been the Lord Protector of Empress Jessamine even before Emily was born, he would be the only father-figure Emily would know and her mother's closest friend. This would make it understandable why she would put "DADDY" on the picture - she saw him as that. The only male role model she looked up to. Who she wished was part of her family, either by her mom marrying him or marrying him herself.

And even if they weren't officially "lovers", as some people put it, throughout many years, what if they only had a few trysts just to make sure that there was an heir? After that, they couldn't have that kind of relationship because it could be easily found out, so they stopped all together.

I kind of like that people can speculate, so I kind of hope it isn't revealed. But, at the same time, I REALLY want it to be Corvo! :P
