Yes. There’s a reason for that:

That’s because Apostle Anastasio (the priest attending her bedside in ep96) granted Ines’s wish to die if Carcel dies. Since Carcel died on the battlefield, Ines died at the same time.
There's always context not shown in the chapters. T.T is that how the novel also paced the events? Everything gets revealed much much later in the story. I noticed it way back with past chapters.
Yes. The novel is written in progressive revelation. Just like no one knew in the beginning that Carcel was Ines’s FIRST husband. The reader only finds out these revelations according as Ines and Carcel discover them. In fact, the Korean novel is written as streams of consciousness where the reader knows the personal thoughts of Carcel and Ines. The story constantly switches between both of them so we know their thoughts intimately.
What? So the husband per timeline in order are Carcel, Prince, Emiliano, Carcel? Jeez. When will all of that make sense?
Yes Carcel is the first husband and the one meant to be her husband. This was revealed since ep95 through this latest chapter. It was also revealed in Bilbao via the memories of Oscar that Oscar received where Oscar was mocking Carcel about how he tormented Carcel’s beloved wife…meaning, Ines was originally Carcel’s wife,
It’s Oscar who contributed to derailing their fate when they got a second chance. Since Oscar had memories of the first timeline, he used his memories to manipulate Ines by deceiving her that he’s a good guy. He couldn’t keep up the act after they were married and he made Ines’s his wife.
So now Carcel and Ines finally got their true second chance. That’s why the author named the manhwa, THE BROKEN RING. The ring that was broken is Ines and Carcel’s marriage. Now that ring can be mended since they are back together.
Grammatical CORRECTION: It was also revealed in Bilbao via the memories of Oscar that CARCEL received where Oscar was mocking Carcel about how he tormented Carcel’s beloved wife…meaning, Ines was originally Carcel’s wife,
Im kinda confused. Does the crown prince in the current timeline have his 1st timeline's memories?
Ok. Nvm. I got it now. So the prince only had the 1st timeline's memories in the 2nd timeline right? The timeline where he's the hubby of ines. And he doesnt have those memories in the 3rd and 4th timelines?
As long as he was given the memories, he will have them in every timeline until he fulfills his fate. So, yes, he currently has first timeline memories in this current timeline and every timeline before this current timeline.
Hmm. So what triggered these timelines? Because they were hinting that this is Ines' punishment for taking her own life - having to live multiple timelines and remembering them. But in the 1st timeline, she died of natural causes.
The reasoning is basically this:
As explained in Bilbao, when a person dies an unpredestined death, they get a second chance to live to correct their fate or, said another way, to fulfill their fate and meet their true death.
For example, obviously all the other characters like Carcel and Ines’s parents, Carcel’s brother, Miguel and Ines’s brother are living out their true fate every timeline. It’s Carcel and Ines who have not been living out their true fate and haven’t met their predestined deaths.
Everything went wrong when a villainess destroyed Ines and Carcel’s life in the first true timeline. They both died outside their predestined death. Therefore, Anastasio gave them a second chance to live to correct their fate just like Emiliano explained in Bilbao that he received another chance to live to meet his predestined death.
The second chance that Ines and Carcel received was the timeline where Ines married Oscar. If Oscar didn’t have memories, he would not have had the chance make Ines fall for him. Chances are, everyone would have lived out their true fate.
But, because Oscar had memories, he interfered with Ines and Carcel’s fate. This led to Ines falling into Oscar’s hands and Ines eventually committing suicide which made her automatically regress. Then Ines who had memories then interfered with Emiliano’s true fate. Then she committed suicide again and automatically regressed.
This time, after she regressed, she unwittingly chose the correct path by choosing her first husband again who has always been her true fate.
So, it’s not really a matter of living many lives. It’s unnatural to live many lives. It’s just someone originally twisted her fate and she ended up living several lives in order to correct her fate. Once she fulfills her true fate and meet her predestined death, the cycle of repeated lives will end.

The context of the situation:
Ines was pregnant with their third and last child. She and Carcel were separated by her choice and they had sex one night and she got pregnant even though he used contraceptives. Since they were separated, he didn’t know she was pregnant and Ines made sure to hide her pregnancy from him and her family by going to a different part of the country to live. She was already seriously ill and she knew the risk of giving birth. She was willing to die to give birth to this last child and she hoped that child will live on in the world as proof of her and Carcel’s love.
Unfortunately, she returned to Mendoza for an event and fainted while at the event. Carcel was there and took her home to the Valeztenas where she was staying since they were separated. There the doctor attended her and they found out she was pregnant. They also got the difficult news that it’s highly likely she’ll die giving birth. Ines’s father wanted to make the decision to abort the child but Carcel said he would make the decision instead and take that sin upon himself.
Why was her family and Carcel not willing to risk Ines’s life? Because the other two children that Ines gave birth to had died. They were poisoned to death but Ines and Carcel didn’t know it at this point of the story. Anyway, both deaths were very painful for Ines and Carcel and one can say the deaths of their children is why Ines demanded a divorce from Carcel since he was the heir and needed an heir. Ines was also deeply mentally abused by her mother in the first timeline so her psychology was complicated and it’s compounded by her stubbornness. Carcel begged her not to divorce him since he can make his younger brother his heir. Ines refused this option and wanted him to find a wife that can give him children and a better life. Carcel, of course, refused and stayed faithful to the end.
Anyway, when Ines woke up, Carcel told her the child was gone. That’s when she said those hurtful things to Carcel that we see at the beginning of this ep. Despite all of this, the reader knows they truly loved each other. At the time, all of Mendoza and maybe even Carcel thought only Carcel loved Ines and his love was unrequited. That’s why even in this current timeline (the 4th TL), the crown prince, who has his first TL memories, never believed that Ines would fall for Carcel because all of the nobles in Mendoza in the first timeline thought Ines didn’t love Carcel.
After Ines tells Carcel never to appear before her again, they separate for a long time. He went back to Calztela and went to many battles. She went to a far part of the country to die. However, we know they reunited because we already saw she died in the little house in Calztela.
