The opening of the book introduces a chaotic and emotionally charged scene involving Doña Fernanda and Enriqueta, resulting in a dramatic confrontation with their father, the conde. Following the turmoil, the conde attempts to impose authority and expectations upon Enriqueta, urging her to break off her relationship with the humble captain, Esteban Alvarez, whom she loves.
