Candide, distracted between joy and grief, delighted at seeing his faithful agent again, astonished at finding him a slave, filled with the fresh hope of recovering his mistress, his heart palpitating, his understanding confused, sat down to table with Martin, who saw all these scenes quite unconcerned, and with six strangers who had come to spend the Carnival at Venice. (26.8)
Cacambo proves his faithfulness and honesty.

Quote #12
At the bottom of his heart Candide had no wish to marry Cunégonde. But the extreme impertinence of the Baron determined him to conclude the match, and Cunégonde pressed him so strongly that he could not go from his word. (30.1)
Candide is determined to marry Cunégonde because he believes he’s made a promise to her. Just as he allows philosophy to get in the way of practicality, he allows principle to obstruct his actual happiness.
