@Kotenmaru Nope, Owen's Dad did try killing Owen in the LN as well, just he did it personally, by attacking Owen with magic in his office, instead of sending Owen into the woods to get murdered by hired goons.

The father is also a giant piece of shit, though apparently quite a stupid one - if Owen was meant to be the backup plan, you do not put him in a situation where you're expecting him to die until you know you don't need him.
Its also not a great idea to gloat before you strike a fatal blow. That just gives your target time to spontaneously learn to create forcefields.
Baroness: "You should count your blessings that I tolerate you being under this roof!" Said while, fairly obviously, not tolerating him being under this roof.

Though I feel like Carolina should talk to him about her sister... And how her life wasn't that much better... It just proved that her dad was not like his.
You're right, that probably would have worked better as a character moment for the two of them.
@NakamiJun and the Mangaka had exactly the same idea for fixing the Owen/Carolina heart-to-heart! (For those who didn't read the LN, the equivalent scene there had Carolina acting out-of-character to inspire Owen to return to service instead of the two bonding over their similar traumas.) I wasn't expecting that change, but I am happy it happened :)
