They blame her for the duchess's death solely because she is considered illegitimate. Since she was born from an affair, instead of holding the duke responsible, they have chosen to direct their blame towards her.
If I'm not mistaken, the mother was coming back from her parent or something, trying to get divorce, then the accident happened
So most of the characters in the story are finding it easier to blame the poor mc for existing rather than being reasonable human beings
It really always baffles me how they blame the child for existing and not the father for being a whore with a dick for a brain. Like u go and be a manwhore, with no protection, and expects your sperm to have natural selection, like nope not the duchess’ eggs. I feel God’s disappointment to see men not use the brain He graciously gifted them. Also if he hated her so much, he can let her be tbh. By the looks of it, idt they would shame him for abandoning his child. In fact they would rejoice.
It's much easier to point fingers than to accept the truth and take responsibility. I can understand the kids to an extent; they are young, easily influenced, and emotional. However, the Duke blaming his daughter for the accident is wild. He’s a piece of shit, and I hope she finds a way to get her revenge on them.
Im losing brain cells trying to understand how its the mc's fault for the dutchess dying like okay shes illegitimate and all that but its bot like she was driving the carriage or something am I missing something here
