The Promise
Leocadia's return to the lives of the palace's inhabitants has unleashed a real storm. Her appearance not only left Cruz stunned, who believed her to be dead, but also put Rómulo in a very delicate position.
The butler had to face the marchioness and confess that he never fulfillled the task she entrusted to him. Firm and serene, he explained that he preferred to let the woman escape, in exchange for her never returning, rather than end her life.
He made it clear to Alonso's wife that he's not a murderer and told her so with conviction. Moreover, he confessed that he's proud of having disobeyed that order.
Cruz's reaction, of course, was swift. The marchioness was completely taken aback upon discovering that the man she trusted lied to her about something so crucial.
This discovery threatens to break the already fragile relationship between them. It adds a new level of intrigue to the plot of The Promise.
