@SIMPai chottominute EXACTLY, I couldn't explain it better. I really cannot understand why the Duke is trying to get revenge. Moreover, the emperor is accepting in the empire even those who were part of the duke's kingdom and, from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like they're badly treated. I could understand a revenge if they were treated like slaves or persecuted or something like that but the emperor is genuinely trying to rebuild the nation peacefully so wtf, duke
