I just love that Cárcel continues to open the path for Ines to regain all the things she lost ever since she gave them up for the crown prince in the timeline she married him and became crown princess as shown in ep62, page 18.

First, she’s surrounded by sincere love and care in Calztela. That’s something she admits she’s never experienced before in any previous timeline.

Second, she began to do her favorite hobbies again like horseback riding and hunting during the hunting trip. But before that, she was finally able to remember her former self and how she used to be before the crown prince destroyed her life.

Third, she’s bonding with her MIL who’s very kind to her and in some ways acts like a mother to her.

Fourth, because of Carcel’s influence on her, she invited her brother to hunt in Calztela.

Fifth, Carcel asked her brother to accompany her to the Formente match in his stead which created a situation where for the first time both brother and sister will have to spend more time together. https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_broken_ring_this_marriage_will_fail_anyway/uu/br_chapter-244386/pg-46/
Inés received two love letters. One that Cárcel wrote in Calztela and brought with him to Mendoza and the one he wrote in the morning in their bedroom in Mendoza. The latter is the one featured in ch 89. The other letter written in Calztela basically talks about how much he misses her and how he doesn’t remember how he lived in that damn port city without her. He talks about coming home and hoping to see her, going up to the second floor and library and foolishly hoping she’s there. He says he feels like he’s trapped in a boring dream without her and it feels like he’ll only wake up when she returns.
Inés mentions she couldn’t show Juana all of the letter because of the lewd things he wrote. In the Calztela letter he talks a lot about inhaling her scent. lol. Inés always admonishes him not to write lewd things in his letters because their future children might read them one day. Her expectation is always that their letters will be preserved for their posterity. lol
This is the term of endearment used for this couple in this story. It was in the prologue chapter signifying it’s not a one-off endearment. Gotta smile how Ines is blushing profusely over the term.

That is to show he has always loved her
Fictional character has something in its life. JoAnn doesn't.
Glad the artist didn’t forget Carcel’s bullet graze from ep76. I can see the bruise/scar on the left side of Carcel’s body in ep87. Will Ines notice it? Hmmm. The plot thickens.

Where's your applesnider something alt?
Ines doesn’t even realize she’s the one who influenced Carcel to be a clean freak. It was only featured in ep4 of the manhwa but Carcel took that lesson to heart ever since he was a kid and he’s obsessed with being clean. In the novel, even after sex, Ines is usually annoyed that he looks clean and put together while she looks like a mess. It’s mentioned a few times throughout the story to emphasize this is habitually a part of his character so he won’t sleep with Ines unless he’s clean. lol
Anyway, here in ch4 is where it all began when she washes his hands when they were kids:

For those asking about the novel, I bought the Korean books for Broken Ring from Ridibooks. This is how I read Korean novels. I rarely read translated versions unless they’re direct translations because I prefer to read what the author actually wrote. So far I have read about 20+ korean novels that all have manhwa versions.
Oh but I don't understand korean
I read all those books with translation apps. Take for example Reminiscent Adonis, The Great Wish, Ugly Duckling, False Confessions, Honey I’m Going on Strike and many others, I read them with translation app and even provided long summaries for some of them on Novelupdates. Many users on Novelupdates use translation apps to provide spoilers on that forum. However, I know not everyone likes to read MTL.
Why don't we talk about your mental obsession with fictional characters?
The million dollar question. It’s too important a question to Carcel to be swept under the rug. What will he feel when he finds out the truth and how will it impact their relationship?
Ines is seated at the same table with both of her nemeses. Next chapter should be interesting. Don’t forget Oscar invited her about 3-4 chapters ago to his Formente game. He asked her to wear a garland which signifies romantic affection. He’s obviously delusional but at least he’s becoming bolder and it would make his schemes more apparent. Ines needs to be more aware of the danger that’s lurking and looming before her.
Hope JoAnn realizes it is delusional too.
As usual, the manhwa cuts Inés crucial reasoning in this section where she blames herself. Don’t know why they’re always so afraid to show her admitting she was wrong. They did that regarding her treatment of Carcel and now did it again with her taking responsibility for her part in the tragedy of the previous timeline. All of this is part of her character development and it also shows she’s maturing as a person.
She thinks the following just before she suddenly gets the flashback memory of Luciano giving her a bullet. Novel excerpt:
For his sister, the lowly painter would have been a partner whom he didn't even fake a smile at, BUT more than that, the problem would have been that Valeztena's daughter fled in connection with another man just before her marriage to the Crown Prince.
How much Óscar must have pressured Luciano. What threat he must have set with her and Valeztena.... So she understood, and was frustrated because she understood. In front of the cliff of that day when nothing was reversible.
After all, she was the one who killed Emiliano. Because she dragged that innocent, nice man into her gutter life in front of Óscar.
Translation completely missed the mark/context regarding the line where it has Isabella say ‘He may not be the sharpest but he certainly is a strong one, right?’ What Isabella said in the direct translation of the Korean novel is:
"It's not your fault. Cárcel was really fine. That child's IGNORANTLY STRONG. The only thing that wasn't okay was inside the mind of his mother who dared not say a word while watching that (His abuse).”
The topic is about how foolishly strong Cárcel is to the point that he disregards his pain. A good example would be the time when he deliberately and foolishly injured his hand at the navy banquet as punishment for breaking Ines’s no-kissing rule. At the time, Inés was alarmed by his indifference to his pain. During this revelation of Isabella’s, the reader learns that Carcel developed an apathy to his own pain since he was a 6-year old child as he endured Oscar’s torment. One day there was a serious incident where Carcel’s mother cried after she was summoned to the palace to find her child seriously injured. That led to his parents arguing at home that night while Carcel lay sick in bed. After overhearing all of that, Carcel, as a small child, decided to hide future incidents from his mother. That’s how he learned to endure and eventually ignore physical pain. That’s how he became ‘ignorantly strong’ in other people’s eyes like Inés and Isabella who think he shouldn’t ignore his pain.
Now Ines better understands that Carcel is the kind of person who ignores his own pain. Considering she just asked him to visit her in Mendoza, she’ll probably see the scar of the bullet graze on his body and realize he’s hiding something from her.
Luciano. The crown prince hates Luciano the most and fears him the most. That’s another reason why it’s great Carcel chose her brother to protect her whenever he cannot be there to protect her himself.
