Well, basically, everything was "as it should be." She was Aristarh Zaya's wife and was supposed to have an affair with some Goruses. But then this Astral guy, may he rot in hell, multiplied their already low chances of getting married by zero, and it became uninteresting. In short, the character "went stale," bring on a new one...
But being a domestic klutz does not equal being a slut.
Zaya was actually a great girl, but they filtered her out and threw her out for messing up the cooking by accident. Then, because of guys like Aristarkh, she becomes an Idaman. A real man would just laugh it off, kiss her on the cheek, and ask for more.
In short, Nebok was playing a chill, loving guy. Astral took the idea that she came from a wealthy home with servants and had never held anything other than weapons in her life and pushed it to the maximum.
Nebok was upset about the result and, first of all, your reaction, Lizard.
Aristarh basically behaved like a red flag towards her. In the end, Nebok burned out. And that's a shame; I really liked Zaya.
