I keep seeing comments about Inés didn’t have a choice in her marriage. The story doesn’t support this. Inés always chose her own husbands. There will be a flashback that shows she was into Oscar. It should be a couple chapters ahead. She even used to affectionately call him “My Oscar”. When she was young, she even played hard to get for Oscar. She used to have her father take her to Mendoza and then act standoffish to entice Oscar.
There is a part the manhwa cut before this dream that shows Ines’s self-reflection on the way she judged Carcel solely based on rumors. During that reflection, she said this about Carcel:
“Not getting married was considered a major flaw, REGARDLESS OF GENDER, and he, who was considered to be the most handsome man in the world beyond borders, was too conspicuous wherever he was. When Cárcel did one thing, ten stories were created the next day.”
The above is Ines saying that “both” men and women are expected to get married if they’re nobles.
Later, Inés also states she doesn’t regret her choice of choosing Cárcel as her husband. So when people here talking about Inés didn’t have a choice, they’re making false statements. Inés never regrets choosing Cárcel. Ines also believes that a man and woman should marry more than Carcel believes it. Inés also believes in having children. She will never stop wanting a child now or in the future. In short, Ines is thoroughly an aristocrat and believes in the obligations of aristocrats. She and Carcel will have a big fight in the future about children and she even physically beats him up. lol Marriage and children are very important to Ines.
