I'm not a WN reader, but from the LN Clarice
I personally like Clarice's reaction, if only from the sense that it makes some sort of weird sense. The person she thought she loved basically threw her aside for a commoner. What was the point of the highborn ladies basically saving themselves for marriage if their partners weren't even going to respect the contract.
Also, it isn't national policy to be married by 20, but the equivalent of the 'Christmas Cake' where marriage options drastically reduce. And Leon continually finds himself in a rough spot on the societal ladder, stuck between being to high or to low in station. Olivia is a commoner (and he gets stuck in a mindset about his position), and Angie is from a household that is basically only second to the royal family. This was basically explained, but Leon will be forced (as of now) to basically take an old lady as his wife. And as a Noble, he can't exactly just leave the kingdom any longer without taking drastic steps he is to lazy to do.
definitely doesn't seem to be in that life anymore. The whole follower thing was more or less returning to be a good high noble, and less being the sort of person who demands their service in an attempt to get revenge. Leon continues to converse with Claire, including sending letters and talking to her in between scenes/volumes.
