Anyone saying the emotional distress Carcel is experiencing here because of Ines is unhealthy doesn’t seem to understand the depths of hell both him and Ines endured during the timeline Ines married the crown prince. The manhwa toned it down from the novel and Oscar’s actions are still atrocious. For example, Oscar even told Carcel that his wife (Carcel’s wife) is no better than a night at the brothel with prostitutes. In other words, he told Carcel that Ines is just like the prostitutes he (Oscar) visits every day. These are all things Carcel remembers Oscar saying. Oscar even told Carcel nasty things about blow job and Ines. This is why Carcel is deeply distraught now that he’s remembering these awful things. He even went as far as telling Carcel that perhaps if he, Carcel, takes Ines to bed they would remember they were husband and wife. All these things are why Carcel’s heart is breaking for Ines who keeps living repeated lives of suffering.

EDIT: As to Carcel’s deference for Ines…like when he said he dare not even kiss her hand, there are men in English classical literature who think and say the same. It’s just a mark of how much they respect, admire and/or love a woman. Yet, in spite of all this, Carcel is entirely aware that Ines has a difficult/demanding personality and faces her head on. Like he’s told her before, he likes women with bad personalities. Her sharp tongue doesn’t phase him precisely because he has the type of personality that complements hers.

    Yeah I’m confused why people are getting so worried that carcel’s going to do something that’ll make things worse when he’s just breaking down over finding out the horrible things Oscar has done to ines as well as the other shocking events that were revealed. I feel like for anyone it would be a lot to take in at first, especially if it’s about someone you love. I don’t think he’s acting insane like people seem to be making him out to be.

For those looking for Carcel’s wishes, you can find them at this link:

https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/19649928/

Speaking of Carcel’s wishes, his unrequited love of the past two timelines show just how much he truly loves Ines unconditionally. In season 3, more will be revealed on all the things he endured in the crown princess timeline to protect Ines in the only way he knew how. And despite knowing she was living a life apart from him, when he had the opportunity in ep54, he told Ines all he wanted was for her to live. He valued her life that much even when he couldn’t be with her.

In the next timeline, Carcel helped Ines in every way he could. He put her up for a night in a safe house and was willing to save her people. He didn’t want her to lose anything. It also meant he would do any and everything for her to be happy without anything in return.

That’s true love. But if you could believe it, Carcel’s love shone just as brightly in the first timeline when Ines tested his love in the most difficult ways that 99% of men would have given up on her. This man’s love in all its iterations is truly, truly amazing.

StoryofMinglan July 19, 2025 1:40 pm

Carcel made wishes after every timeline. All the info below is from the epilogue and not the main story that the manhwa covers:

1st:
1. He wished that Ines will never again be sick (she was terminally sick in the first timeline)
2. He wished that he will love only Ines always
3. He wished he would get a second chance with her if no other man can make her happy

Note: Carcel’s wishes were made after Ines’s wishes. After complaining to Carcel that his wife was rude (LOL), Apostle Anastasio tried to get Carcel to overrule Ines’s wishes but Carcel decided to respect Ines’s wishes.

2nd:
After Ines committed suicide as crown princess, Carcel’s wish after his premature death was to please let him help his wife not stray from her correct path of natural death even in her most desperate times. (He always called her his wife after he remembers who he truly is after death and who she truly is to him)

3rd:
After Ines committed suicide again, Carcel’s wish after his premature death is that God would help him to help his wife live a life where she never wants to commit suicide. In other words, where she would value her life or want to live until her natural death.

All of the above wishes Carcel made still have a chance to be fulfilled in this final timeline. Most of Ines’s wishes for Carcel after the first timeline still hasn’t been fulfilled as yet.

    so the crown prince called them stupid for "not wishing something smart, like him" (referring to the wish of their first life, since at the time he calls Ines his current wife so that meant they were at their second) but cárcel had wished for her not to be sick, so then what did ines and the crown prince wish for? idk if i'm making sense :S

    Oscar’s wish was simply to retain his 1st TL memories in the next life which was the second chance he received to live to correct his fate. He died an unfated death in the 1st TL.

    Ines’s wishes were the following:
    1. For Carcel to live a life that has nothing to do with her. She made this wish because she was an extremely difficult wife to Carcel in the 1st life due to several reasons. (Season 3 will provide answers). Apostle Anastasio tried to get her to change her mind because he probably foresaw she would end up in tragedies and he knew Carcel was her fate. The Apostle tried to get Carcel to overrule this wish of Ines but Carcel decided to respect Ines’s wish.

    2. She wished that Carcel will marry a ‘better’ wife than her.

    3. She wished that Carcel will have healthy children

    4. She wished that Carcel will never again die because of the crown prince (in the first life Carcel died in a war that the crown prince accidentally started in his drunken stupor with the prince of another country who was also drunk. Oscar killed him in their drunken argument over a woman so it ignited a big war)

    5. She wished that Carcel will be able to travel to beautiful places with his wife and family.

    As to Carcel and Ines, yes, they will be happily married in this final timeline. Season 3 will show them growing closer and closer. You can look forward to it because they only get closer and closer from here. Quite frankly, in the side story, Ines is pretty much a normal woman who is so happy that she even seems spoiled. lol Carcel spoils her a lot. His parents spoil her a lot too. They’re more like her parents than his. So, Ines finally lives a life where she’s surrounded by a lot of love and she also loves a lot of people like her parents-in-law (she and Carcel’s dad are close too), her sister-in-law, her brother, her dad, her friends, etc.

The dream that Carcel had in ch6 is actually a memory from the first life. Ines came to a banquet and heard people talking about Carcel helping Maria. But Carcel was only helping Maria because her grandfather, his mentor, had fallen ill. That led to the conversation where Ines ends up telling Carcel, prove to her that he wants her. So Carcel took her home to prove it to her. They were already married at the time.

Ep6 pages 2 - 5

The reason why Carcel destroyed the statue of Anastasio is to commit a sin. Since memories are a punishment for sin, he’s demanding that God give him more memories so he can find out everything Ines has endured until now.

All the memories pertaining to Ines / Luciano / Carcel / Oscar that appear in this chapter are from the timeline when Ines was crown princess.

Now the reader knows why Carcel appeared before Ines on the palace grounds in episode 53. After Luciano discovered how Oscar was treating his sister, he couldn’t tell his father. Instead, he confided in the only person he could reveal this to and it was Carcel.

Ep53: Inés Escalante observing Luciano and Inés Valenza
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_broken_ring_this_marriage_will_fail_anyway/uu/br_chapter-188177/pg-3/
Ep53: Carcel appears on the palace grounds
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_broken_ring_this_marriage_will_fail_anyway/uu/br_chapter-188177/pg-25/

The manhwa toned down some of this situation. In the novel, Oscar intentionally invited Luciano to the palace so that Luciano would discover how his beloved sister was truly living. Not knowing Oscar’s true intentions, Luciano excitedly came to visit his sister after a long time.

Ines had basically distanced herself from her family after marriage due to the following:

1. She did it because Oscar told her he wanted her to be his and his only. See episode 62. Ines said she thought of those words as a confession of love and she liked him best during those years so she didn’t mind giving up most of the things she liked for him.
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_broken_ring_this_marriage_will_fail_anyway/uu/br_chapter-200994/pg-18/

2. After Oscar started treating her horribly, Ines was determined to hide it from her father and brother so she never invited them to her palace. Oscar also used to threaten her with her family.

The following are the disturbing details of Luciano’s visit and why he broke down to Cárcel after he found out everything:

Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning / Trigger warning

Luciano was forced to stand outside with the maids and other servants and listen as Oscar was inside loudly raping his sister. All the screams, fighting (Ines always fought back), lewd taunts of Oscar, etc. were heard by Luciano and the maids/servants. When Ines realized her brother heard everything, she felt even more broken and like she would go crazy. This whole section of the story was deeply, deeply disturbing.

    That’s why Luciano was so broken. Remember in ch82, he gave Ines a bullet and told her they had to kill Oscar and he will take the blame. He was determined to rebel. He said they can’t live in the world with Oscar alive.

    You should notice by now a pattern in Broken Ring where information is revealed according as the story progresses. For example, who would have thought when they started the story that Carcel actually helped and loved Ines in every timeline. Right to the end of this main story, the reader will find out more information that adds to the details of the story.

    Anyway, chapters 95 & 96 gave big hints that another timeline existed. The apostle gave Ines visions in those chapters. Ines wondered if they were the future or the past. Ch96, in particular, showed younger versions of Ines and Carcel by a blue lake. Obviously that didn’t happen in this current timeline so it could only be a timeline in the past.

So many clues when that library reflexively opened and then shut again immediately. Aria hearing things she never heard from current Axel before yet it’s like she went into a fugue state then returned to reality without realizing it.

StoryofMinglan July 9, 2025 11:57 am

To add some clarification to the confusion:

Two ways to have memories:
1. Suicide
2. Wishes after death

Suicide: Ines committed suicide at 26 years old when she was the crown princess Ines Valenza. She then regressed 10 years to age 16. Her life from a baby to 16 years old was a repeat of the timeline she actually married Oscar. Her 16-year-old self then woke up with regressed memories from the previous life.

Ines committed suicide again at age 20. Instead of regressing 10 years from 20, she regressed 10 years from age 16. So she wakes up in this current life at 6 years old with regressed memories of both past lives then she chose Carcel.

Ines cannot commit suicide again. She cannot regress 10 years from age 6. If she committed suicide again in this current life, she will cease to exist, or so she believes. This is another reason why Ines decided at age 6 that she was not going to make any more mistakes and she decided to live out her life quietly until she can finally die and attain eternal rest. That was her greatest desire. Even now she still has this desire although she changed her mind on how she wants to live until her death. For example, the last thing Ines says at the end of the side story is that she looks forward to her eternal rest. This was her goal from the beginning and still remains her goal to the end. She doesn’t want to live again.

Rebirth & Wishes
Both Carcel and Emiliano were reborn. The difference between them is what they wished for in this life. Both died an unpredestined death. When a person dies an unpredestined death, they are granted wishes for the next do-over life. Do-over lives is solely to correct the person’s fate. Once they achieve their fate, there are no more do-overs for them.

Emiliano has memories because he used his wishes to ask for memories in this current life. He did not wake up with regressed memories. The memories came to him over time unlike Ines who wakes up in each life with regressed memories. There is only one other character who is like Emiliano in terms of ‘manner of receiving memories’ and that character wakes up with memories of a certain life in every timeline at about age 10 years old.

Carcel instead used his wishes to help Ines value her life. Every time he dies, in the death state, he learns who he was and who Ines truly is to him so he used all his wishes on Ines. He never asked for memories. The reason he is getting memories when he shouldn’t is probably because Anastasio, the representative of God, is helping him to be able to protect Ines against her enemies since she has failed twice already by committing suicide. Anastasio met Ines in ch95 and as he said, some children keep making mistakes and therefore keep repeating their lives and they’re stuck in a cycle. Anastasio wants to help Ines. He saved her when she was a little girl who was trying to accidentally die. Now that he met Ines again and he commended her for making the right choice, he gave her the visions to further help her to understand things that even a certain character knew all along.
