Ines chose Carcel for her own plans

Sometimes I wonder if people read this story speedily or selectively. Ines chose Carcel solely to divorce. To assuage her conscience, she even persuaded herself that in the end she won’t harm him because she erroneously believed he would appreciate a divorce so he can live freely pursuing women for the rest of his life (that’s why she got upset when before marriage he told her he intends to be a faithful husband and she slapped him) but also gain the duke’s title. Carcel has never inherited the duke title because there’s a rule that he has to be married before inheriting or shortly after inheriting the title just like Luciano had to in the first true timeline. So Ines convinced herself she would not be harming him despite the fact that nobles rather kill their spouse than divorce their spouse because divorce is seen as scandalous among them. The fact remains, she planned out this significant event for Carcel and intended to follow through with it unbeknownst to him. I really don’t see what his premarital lifestyle has to do with it because it’s not like Ines decided to scrap the plan. She continued with her plan and in fact never had any intention to live a genuine married life with him since she even went as far as consulting lawyers at the mere age of 12 years old when Carcel was just a little boy learning succession lessons.

So I ask, did she consult Carcel about choosing him to marry for divorce? Did she consult him about the fact she wanted to bear his child then divorce him? Did she consult him about wanting to raise their future child with only one parent be it him or her? The fact remains, she was planning to upend his life and he hadn’t a clue. It’s not even from partway through knowing him. She planned to upend his life from the time she chose him at 6 years old.

If author thinks it wasn’t a big deal, why is the truth coming out now? Why did Carcel find out the truth now? Why will it be addressed in a few chapters? Carcel will pretend he didn’t find out but thankfully the author will still address it soon because it’s something she chose not to sweep under the rug.
