Errrghhh typical hypocrites with their awful double standard 😠 I'm just glad that his stupidity is used properly as a fuel to make Ria shine brighter.
Anyway, now we're going to see if Eclot really loves her or not. If he is, he should feel at least a little bit complicated that he could get the rewards that he deserves but at the expense of his chance to stay close to her. Should he just accept it to save her face? Or should he refused for an uncertain chance that she will always keep him?
Now that I think about it, he better accept it already. Even if he loves her, there should be another reliable way to stay close rather than just being a concubine.
