I'm not sure where and when I read it but I think it was mentioned that her being looked down on by other nobles and regarded as shameful was because her father was open about his neglect/disapproval of her. Being the child of a maid played a part in that as well, but certain petty people (from maids to other nobles) will run their mouths when the only people that can forcefully retaliate against that kind of slander don't give a damn.
Yes, but what about her sister who is not even legitimate. I understand that their father loves the girl more because Neveah reminds him of being forced to marry her mother, but why society is looking down on Neveah (daughter of maid but legitimate) and pretty chill with he sister (not even legitimate)
Still confused why Neveah is called "the shame of Solene". Is it because she dropped her engagement? She is daughter of former maid, who is now married to her father, and is a legitimate child. But her younger sister who is illegitimate, daughter of unknown mother probably a maid too, is NOT called "the shame of " despite her illigitimacy.
