This chapter reveals more about Mendoza’s noble society:
* Nobles would rather live unhappily than get divorce because according to them divorce is beneath them and it began as a means by which wealthy commoners divide their property.
* Ines mentioned early in the story that nobles would rather kill their spouses instead of divorce them. To live peacefully, a married couple who doesn’t get along would choose to live separately. For example, one in Mendoza and one at the family estate.
* Married couples are known to have lovers. This is practiced by both men and women. For example, Marchioness Barca who attended Ines’s social gatherings in Calztela has lovers and her husband has lovers. Same for the empress and emperor. Their lovers can also be other married people.
* Most nobles look down on love. Ines even gets embarrassed when Isabela mentioned she heard she and Carcel share the same bedroom. Ines’s mother’s letter to her in Calztela had also advised her not to live like a lover with her husband Cárcel. This is why the rumors that Carcel is in love with his wife seem so absurd to everyone and will continue to be that way when they realize Ines and Carcel are in a love relationship.
