Since Mercedes leaves the game early all you can do is wait and see. Good luck.

If it doesn't work out try a speed run next round and see if that works. You shouldn't need to give her the ring at all, but if you're going to you may as well wait till after her duel with Julien.

Btw, when lowering affinity don't forget about vendors and escort quests.
