Laya the younger seems to be in her late teens at least, so Laya the older must have been pretty old to be her mother, at least comparatively to others in PSIII.
I've read somewhere that she was an infant when she entered the cold sleep. Every 7 years she'd awaken for a month before returning to sleep.
I doubt Lune would be the father. Given how close he and Laya would have to be, I can't imagine him not being aware that Laya II is his daughter. Even Lune refers to her as "Laya's little sister" when meeting her during Nial's story. After waking up from a 1,000 year sleep and finding the world he knew so drastically changed, I think he would be so overjoyed at finding his daughter also alive that he would mention something. I have to admit that Orakio is not much more likely.
I'm thinking of two possible scenarios, here.
First case: Lune simply not knowing!Both Lune and Alair were stuck on Dahlia, so it could be possible that Laya never said anything to him, nor had the chance?
Second case: Lune does know, but says nothing.You have a point with everyone referring to her as "Laya's little sister", even Lune himself. Laya may have told him to keep Laya II's identity secret. This reason, I find more believable.
Also, if you look at warrior Kara and Laya's portraits, they look a lot alike. Their eyes, lips, the shape of their faces, their noses, too. I see a strong resemblance there. And, if Lune is indeed the father...this would make them half sisters!
On the other hand, Ozaki's FAQ was formed as Orakio and Rulakir answering the questions. When this subject came up, Orakio silently grinned in such a way that Rulakir took it as confirmation that Orakio and Laya did have a relationship.
It makes no sense for them to have a relationship during the war, as they're enemies. If they did have a relationship, it must've happened after their final confrontation when they realised the truth, then went off together to fight Dark Force.
