If Sethra is willing to let Vlad's father die (perhaps seeing this event as necessary to Vlad's development), is it possible that she is, in fact, actually more directly responsible for his death? If the death of Vlad's father is seen as "necessary", then she could have actually engineered the situation.

Sethra's seen a lot of people die.    It likely isn't that important to 
her anymore, especially for an Easterner.    She's also a warrior who is 
willing to let people get die for an objective.   And she's following 
instructions building Vlad into a tool.   His father was collateral damage.
