To think that Earl Clark would consider giving one of his daughters to Roy was a piece of explosive news, that many people had difficulties accepting.
After all, it was clear that Earl Clark wouldn't immediately give him his daughter to marry, but first give him a title befitting his future son-in-law.
It was a gold-tier newbie package for whoever managed to get it. And if Roy truly received such a package then he would be in a much higher position than most of the people at the party.
With that thing possible who would even think of making an enemy of Roy at such a place. Surely there were those that were ready to speak behind his back.
But those people were precisely that, trying to speak behind his back. No one would dare to say things like that in front of his face, or somewhere where they could be forced to take responsibility.
