He only kissed her so fs you're just making shit up. They didn't even get to do anything bc Ines showed up. You should reread ch1. You cant even read that it was the lady saying those things and not him. Since you got reading problems, let me help you there.
Woman:
"I heard that your grandfather dedicated his whole life to serving Otega..."
"Ppl say you wanted to carry on your family's...."
"After all, you're the heir to the Escalante family..."
"Your grandfather admiral calderon's great victory..."
"But the pirates still cause so much trouble..."
Carcel:
"As a member of the grandes de ortega, I've learned that...."
"My grandfather always told me...."
Woman:
"That woman is too ordinary."
"Your fiancee, I mean....she isn't good enough for you...."
"ofc she come from the best family..."
"After all she belongs to house valeztena"
"But she always has that bored and uninterested look on her face"
"How can she behave that way when she has such a perfect fiance like you?"
"It's too much rly."
"I mean it isn't like she's a nun."
"Just look at those clothes she wears. Your fiancee dresses like a nun."
"And you won't believe how arrogantly she behaves in front of other noble ladies"
"If you only knew, Lord Carcel..."
Ok fs you shit at reading.
fs and it's a joke how they tell you to reread ch1 when they should be doing that.
oh well i am starting to believe they havent even read it. they just be looking at the art and make assumptions by it
idc if they do that but then they're pretending they read the manhwa and the novel
You need to read those wedding chapters again. Carcel already loved Ines beforehand. He simply buried his own feelings because she kept rejecting him when they were teenagers. Then he believed she ghosted him during the time when she was sick. This is when he started living his life like any teenagers should. On the wedding, when everyone else was shocked by how beautiful she looked, Carcel thought to himself that he didn’t get what the big shock was because she’s always looked like that to him.
ppl here are reading this manhwa in a uncorrect and onesided way istg
Oh no....my poor carcel I am literally crying heart breaks for this man
