Thank you for the suggestions!

yes there is a good reason for them to flee to the uncle. So at the ball Mia wanders off and sees her stepmother and the earl together. She hears them talking about an evil plot (haven’t totally figured that out yet) Mia goes and tells Gabriel, but him, the loyal son that he is, doesn’t believe her right away. I believe I’ll have Gabriel tell the guards to arrest her and then the earl, who had somehow found out that Mia had eavesdropped on him, sent guards to take her someplace where she could do no harm, death is very likely. After Gabriel has Mia arrested, he goes to find his father and finds him with Mistress Aaberg (Mia’s stepmother) talking about their evil plan. Gabriel sees that Mia was right but when he goes to the dungeon to release her, she is gone. The jailkeeper tells him where she has been taken, or that she has been. Gabriel finds them  and somehow releases her (I have a couple ideas of how) then they flee to the good uncle to get help.

So finally, I do believe that I’m going to make it that she is not really illegitimate, and somehow someone knows who she is or something. Thanks for the idea@arindown!!!
