Marcel's brother's wife just died and they want him to be engaged with the bastard princess.
Why? And again, sorry, but who was the bastard princess? I can't seem to remember anything because of the long hiatus. I think the most clear ending scene for me was when the ML went to the church to look for Emiliano and came to understand that he's been reincarnated.
Not wife, fiance.
Carcel's brother - Miguel - was engaged. His fiance (they deeply loved e/o) died. He's grieving. The imperial family seized the opportunity and "offered" an engagement with the illegitimate princess. The reason is political - they want Carcel's family to prove their loyalty to the imperial family. One way to do so is to have Miguel marry the princess. Carcel's family cannot rlly refuse bc 1) that is the imperial family and 2) they know this is political and that the emperor is basically testing them and their loyalty.
Damn, what? I feel like i didn't read that part at all. Thanks for the explanation. Do you perhaps remember from what chapter was the Carcel-Emiliano drama? If it's not too far behind i feel like i can reread from there.
Pretty sure it's around chaper 100.
I honestly forgot what's going on and where we are. I'm totally lost
