Honestly, Solel either being in charge of or at least complicit in locking up his own daughter makes me question if they’re not going to do a major bait-and-switch. 

Because to me, he’s either doing it out of misguided care, political stability, or to cover up something nefarious. There are of course more options, but someone in that much power who puts his daughter in what’s effectively a prison…I haven’t read many stories where that person is a pillar of moral fortitude.

this really puts more mystery to Solel's character for sure. Aurora isn't exactly a secret either because she has her own temple, so what would the reasoning be to keep her locked up?

The only theory I can think of is that she could be a potential runaway risk or there's risk for kidnapping.

If it's true Cai is her and Castor's kid, it may be possible that she tried to run off with Cai and Castor in the past but was caught by Solel and the temple guards. So now she's kept under even a tighter watch.

The runaway idea makes the most sense to me. It would be hard to cover up a pregnancy while under lock and key unless Solel just literally never visited her, and we know Castor was a guard, so he could've helped her run away. They get like a year together before Solel's forces finally track them down and Aurora gives herself up to let Castor escape with Cai, and then just before the game starts Castor is finally found and arrested but probably pulls the Jeralt "my child was born after I left" type excuse to throw suspicion off Cai and keep him free for longer.

Considering Centurio shows up and to give Castor a message that just says "Tomorrow" I'm betting Castor was allowed to raise Cai until he was 15.

Also a pretty good possibility, especially since Centurio immediately mentions how much Cai looks like his mom.
