HOW ABOUT YOU JUST DIE SO I NO LONGER HAVE TO FEEL THIS WAY?\nYOUR GRACE, THAT'S A BIT...\nI'VE WATCHED YOU ALL EVENING, AND SEEING YOU BREATHE HAS BEEN UTTER TORTURE. I REALLY WOULD JUST LIKE YOU TO STOP.\nTHAT'S ENOUGH, FATHER.\n\nYOU INVITED HIM HERE, SO PLEASE STOP BEING SO PETTY.\nTHIS ISN'T PROPER.\nPETTY? WHO ARE YOU CALLING PETTY?\nWHY ASK WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER?\n\nI COULD HAVE EASILY KICKED IN THIS MAN'S SKULL, BUT I DIDN'T!\nI EVEN WENT OUT OF MY WAY TO FEED HIM A PROPER MEAL! GIVEN THAT, I BELIEVE I'VE BEEN PLENTY CULTURED, TOLERANT, AND GENEROUS!\nYES, YOU'VE BEEN SO INCREDIBLY TOLERANT THAT DESPITE KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON, YOU CHOSE TO LEAVE HIM ALONE UP UNTIL NOW. I'M FINE, FATHER.\nLISTEN HERE! THE ONLY REASON I DID NOTHING IS BECAUSE THIS FELLOW WAS ACTING LIKE HE WASN'T GOING TO MARRY YOU AT ALL!\n\nTHE RUMORS SUGGESTED AS MUCH, BUT THE FACT IS THAT WE ARE GETTING MARRIED. YOU KNEW THAT AS WELL.\nSO PLEASE LEAVE MY FIANCÉ ALONE.\nI CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S SUCKING DOWN ALL THAT HARD LIQUOR IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS...\n\nIT SEEMS NO ONE IS EATING MUCH THIS EVENING.\nAM I THE ONLY ONE ENJOYING THIS MEAL?\nNOT AT ALL. THE FOOD IS EXQUISITE! DON'T YOU AGREE, CÁRCEL?\n\nLORD CÁRCEL, IS EVERYTHING TO YOUR LIKING?\nYES, EVERYTHING'S PERFECT.\n...HA!\nSO, YOU FINALLY SPEAK.\nI'M SURPRISED YOU HAVEN'T SAID A SINGLE FLATTERING WORD TO THE WOMAN YOU'RE ABOUT TO MARRY.\nAND HOW EXACTLY SHOULD HE BE FLATTERING ME, FATHER?\n\nHE COULD SAY THAT YOU LOOK ESPECIALLY BEAUTIFUL TODAY, OR THAT YOUR DRESS LOOKS DULL COMPARED TO YOUR BEAUTY.\nTHERE ARE ENDLESS COMPLIMENTS HE COULD HAVE GIVEN YOU!\n...OF COURSE, SEÑORITA INÉS IS OBVIOUSLY VERY BEAUTIFUL...\nSAYS THE MAN WHO SOLD HIS BODY FOR PENNIES!\nLORD CÁRCEL HAS NEVER SOLD HIS BODY. AND EVEN IF HE HAD, IT CERTAINLY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FOR PENNIES.\n...IS THIS REALLY THE TIME TO BE DISCUSSING HOW MUCH HIS BODY IS WORTH?\n\nYOU NEGLECTED MY DAUGHTER UNTIL SHE LOST HER YOUTH, AND NOW YOU COME HERE WANTING TO MARRY HER WITHIN TWO WEEKS?\nWHAT IS IT? HAVE YOU CONTRACTED SOME VENEREAL DISEASE THAT WILL SOON TAKE YOUR LIFE? HAS YOUR FATHER INSTRUCTED YOU TO PRODUCE AN HEIR BEFORE YOU DIE?\nFATHER, PLEASE STOP.\nDO YOU THINK SO LITTLE OF MY DAUGHTER...?!\nYOU THINK YOU CAN DISRESPECT HER BECAUSE SHE ONLY CARES ABOUT YOUR LOOKS?\n\nFATHER.\nDO YOU THINK THIS IS ANY WAY TO TREAT OUR GUEST?\n...OUR GUEST? THAT BASTARD IS A THIEF AND NOTHING MORE.\n\nLORD CÁRCEL IS AN HONORABLE LIEUTENANT IN THE IMPERIAL NAVY.\nAND CONTRARY TO THE CLAIMS YOU'VE TRIED TO MAKE, HE HAS NEITHER SOLD HIS BODY NOR STOLEN ANYTHING.\nLET US SPEAK ONLY ABOUT THE FACTS, FATHER.\nLORD CÁRCEL HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH FLAWS TO CRITICIZE WITHOUT DISTORTING THE TRUTH.\nDUKE VALEZTENA HAD HIS REASONS... HIS DAUGHTER HAD ONLY CONTINUED TO AGE...\nINÉS, YOU ARE FAR TOO KIND. MUST YOU GO THROUGH WITH THIS MARRIAGE WHEN I AM SO VEHEMENTLY AGAINST IT?\n\n...WHILE HER FIANCÉ ABANDONED THEIR WEDDING PLANS AND ROAMED THE SEAS.\nI HAD EXPECTED HIM TO BE ANGRY...\nBUT I HAD NO IDEA HER FAMILY WOULD BE SO STRONGLY OPPOSED TO OUR MARRIAGE.\nIT'S SURPRISING THAT OUR ENGAGEMENT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN CALLED OFF.\nWHY DON'T YOU DELAY THE WEDDING A LITTLE WHILE LONGER?\nI SEE NOW WHY THE DUKE NEVER PROTESTED...\n...WHEN I KEPT OFFERING EXCUSES TO DELAY THE WEDDING.\n\nHE WANTED THE ENGAGEMENT TO BE CALLED OFF.\nINÉS HAS FAR SURPASSED THE AGE WHEN MOST WOMEN IN ORTEGA GET MARRIED.\nBUT WITH THE VALEZTENA NAME,\n\nIT SHOULD POSE NO PROBLEM FOR HER TO RECEIVE PROPOSALS FROM OTHER GOOD FAMILIES.\nTHIS ENGAGEMENT...\nFATHER, DO YOU THINK LIGHTLY OF THE PROMISE OUR FAMILY MADE?\n...HAS ONLY LASTED SO LONG BECAUSE...\nNOT TO MENTION, NEITHER THE VALEZTENAS NOR THE ESCALANTES ARE ORDINARY NOBLE FAMILY.\nOUR POSITION WITHIN THE GRANDES DE ORTEGA HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED.\nTHAT MEANS THAT \"WE\" DO NOT SAY ANYTHING LIGHTLY.\n\n...WHILE INÉS MAY NOT LIKE ME OR EVEN HAVE ANY INTEREST IN ME,\nSHE AT LEAST WANTS ME.\nAND I'M FINE. I MEAN IT...\nI ALSO REALIZED ONE MORE THING TODAY.\n\nINÉS VALEZTENA SMILES MOST BEAUTIFULLY...\nBECAUSE I LOVE LORD CÁRCEL.\n...WHEN SHE LIES.\nYOU KNOW, LORD CÁRCEL...\n\n...I HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT OPINION FROM THE DUKE.\nI'VE LIKED YOU FROM THE BEGINNING.\nI ALWAYS TOLD INÉS AS WELL...\n...THAT YOU'RE FAR TOO GOOD FOR HER.\nWHY IS MIGUEL WALKING SO CLOSE TO HER?\n\n...LORD CÁRCEL, ARE YOU LISTENING?\nOF COURSE, YOUR GRACE. PLEASE CONTINUE.\nTRUTHFULLY, INÉS ISN'T THE DAUGHTER I WANTED.\nEVERYTHING SHE'S EVER DONE HAS BEEN A DISAPPOINTMENT.\nSHE WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THIS, OF COURSE. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN SHE WAS JUST SO ADORABLE AND LOVELY.\n\nBUT SHE CAME DOWN WITH A TERRIBLE FEVER ONE DAY AND IT CHANGED HER...\nEVER SINCE THEN, ALL SHE DOES IS DISAPPOINT ME.\nJUST LOOK AT HER. SHE LOOKS LIKE A WITCH...\n\nDO YOU REALLY THINK YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ENDURE A LIFE WITH HER?\n...I THINK SHE'S QUITE BEAUTIFUL.\nTHEN AGAIN, I CAN SEE HOW YOU MIGHT FIND THE IDEA INTOLERABLE. AFTER ALL, I'M SURE THAT'S THE REASON YOU'VE TRIED SO HARD TO PUT OFF THE WEDDING.\n\nTHE THOUGHT OF SHARING A BED WITH HER MUST BE TERRIFYING FOR YOU.\nHER LOOKS ALONE ARE ENOUGH TO MAKE ANYONE VOMIT!\nSHE REALLY SEEMS TO RESENT HER...\n\nHOW ON EARTH WILL YOU SURVIVE STARING AT THAT DREADFUL WOMAN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?\nI BEG YOU, LORD CÁRCEL. PLEASE FIX HER. YOU MUST. THIS THING SHE'S SUFFERING FROM IS AN ILLNESS...\nI CAN'T STAND IT. IT'S AS THOUGH SHE SPENDS ALL DAY TRYING TO EMBARRASS ME...!\nISN'T THIS GOING A BIT OVERBOARD TO JUST BE A COMPLAINT ABOUT HER DISAPPOINTING DAUGHTER?\n\nBACK THEN, I THINK SOMEONE SWITCHED HER SOUL WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S.\nSOMETIMES, SHE WOULD JUST DO THE EVILEST THINGS... IT WAS LIKE A DEMON HAD TAKEN OVER HER BODY.\nWHEN SHE WAS YOUNG, THERE WERE TIMES WHEN SHE WOULD THREATEN ME OR EVEN HARM HERSELF...\n...JUST TO SHOW ME THAT SHE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO A WORD I SAID...\n\n...SHE THREATENED YOU?\nALL I DID WAS OFFER TO MAKE HER LOOK PRETTY.\nTHEN, FOR NO REASON, HER WHOLE DEMEANOR WOULD CHANGE AND SHE WOULD IGNORE ME...\n\nSO I DECIDED TO TEACH HER A LESSON BY PUTTING HER IN A BARREL. I EVEN FORCED HER TO CHANGE INTO NICER CLOTHES...\nBUT I ONLY DID THOSE THINGS FOR HER OWN GOOD.\nEVEN TODAY, YOU SAW HOW SHE BEHAVED DURING DINNER, DIDN'T YOU? HER WEDDING IS IN A WEEK,\nYET SHE STUFFED HERSELF WITH EVERY MORSEL OF FOOD SHE COULD FIND.\n\nWHAT SORT OF NOBLE LADY DOES THAT...? I SWEAR, SHE REMINDS ME OF AN ANIMAL STICKING ITS HEAD INTO A FEED PAN!\nIT'S NOT LIKE SHE EVEN WEARS ANY MAKEUP, AND YOU'VE SEEN THE WAY SHE DRESSES. THE LEAST SHE SHOULD DO IS SKIP A FEW MEALS TO MAINTAIN HER FIGURE. IT IS, AFTER ALL, HER ONLY GOOD QUALITY.\nI CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M HEARING...\nA MOTHER SHOULD HELP HER DAUGHTER SO THAT SHE CAN BE LOVED BY HER HUSBAND AND NOT DO ANYTHING TO DAMAGE HER REPUTATION.\nBUT...\n\n...THE WAY SHE LOOKED AT ME THAT DAY WAS SO VICIOUS...\nFROM THAT POINT ONWARD, MY DAUGHTER'S FATE WAS OUT OF MY HANDS. I COULDN'T DO A THING TO HELP HER OUT OF FEAR FOR MY OWN LIFE.\n\nTHAT IS WHY IT IS UP TO YOU TO FIX HER, LORD CÁRCEL. SHE REALLY IS VERY ILL.\nFIXING YOUR DAUGHTER IS NOT SOMETHING I HAVE ANY RIGHT TO DO.\nBUT YOU'RE SOON TO BE HER HUSBAND. YOU'LL BE HER MASTER.\nI WILL BE HER HUSBAND AND NOTHING MORE.\n\nAND YOUR DAUGHTER IS THE ONLY WOMAN I WILL BE TAKING TO BED FROM NOW ON.\n\nTHERE IS ONE THING INÉS MANAGED TO DO THAT I ACTUALLY APPROVED OF,\nAND THAT WAS PUTTING A CHAIN AROUND YOUR NECK AND MAKING YOU HERS...\n...BACK WHEN YOU WERE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW ANY BETTER.","bubble_count":121,"pages_count":30,"source":"community"},"spoiler":{"level":"auto","safe_teaser":"The Broken Ring: This Marriage Will Fail Anyway focuses on Inés's tense family dinner with her fiancé Cárcel and her family.","spoiler_summary":"The Broken Ring: This Marriage Will Fail Anyway focuses on Inés's tense family dinner with her fiancé Cárcel and her family.
