But their relationship is strained, because Gerda knows that Baron Vinzens will never marry her, since their relationship is not considered suitable for a baron of his standing. She decides to end the relationship and manages to persuade Vinzens to go to Ingersholm Castle to ask for Count Inger’s daughter’s hand in marriage.
