Regarding the lady Ines tried to foist on Carcel, she’s not even a noblewoman. She’s a crazy commoner woman who married a navy guy simply so she can gain access to the navy community to meet Carcel. In other words, the part of Calztela they live in is like a gated community where only navy personnel and their families live. If Carcel quits the navy, they have to give up the house they currently live in because it’s in the navy community.
It’s unfortunate that a lot of the reflection Ines does because of this incident was stripped from the manhwa. Like the part in the novel, after he left bedroom, where she admits she never really knew the original Carcel and only believed the rumors about him. She also remembered that both men and women always talked behind his back and he was a magnet for gossip. There’s also the part where she grew nervous when she recognized his eyes became cold just like his cold eyes in the life when she was crown princess and the part when she grew disgusted at herself for trying to frame him for something he didn’t do. All of the above provided a solid explanation for her turning point to stop plotting against him. The manhwa even skewed the reason behind her crying after she pulled that crazy woman incident and obscured the fact that she was relieved to see him come back into the room because it reassured her he wasn’t going to abandon her after the stunt she pulled.
How was that cheating? They were engaged, but the fl wanted him to be with other women. They weren't in any kind if committed relationship. If anything it was contract marriage.
Exactly sweetheart I get what you're trying to point out, that's why it's deemed as cheating "ON PAPER," because although they're not originally in any kind of intimate/loving relationship they were still engaged. It would've been different if Carcel slept around when he had no interest with Ines and they weren't in any kind of label of relationship.
However, The moment Carcel visited his fiancee and Ines gave him the cold shoulder because she was sick—he was upset by Ines' response that he lost his virginity with a random woman while engaged with Ines.
And what's funny is, although Carcel claimed he doesn't give a damn about his fiance; when he realized Ines really didn't give a damn about him cheating he immediately switched up and even claimed "he's much more faithful than she thought he was." If he truly treated their relationship as something contractual or him generally not giving no fck about Ines, why act out the moment he realized Ines didn't care?
Oh my bad about the noblewoman part i didn't realized it, thanks for the heads up . I'm genuinely intrigued by the story so much that I think I should read the novel as well
This whole topic is tired and worn out, especially when that was what Ines was rooting for, for the whole first part of the story. I used to hate that Carcel wasn’t loyal but Ines and Carcel didn’t even have an emotional bond to begin with. Not like I’m blaming Ines for why she did what she did but she wasn’t interested in him at all so it makes sense the older he got he would find someone who would give him attention
I LOVE EVERYTHING BUT I STILL CAN'T FORGET ABOUT HOW THE ML CHEATED ON INES NOT ONCE BUT A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE
