Although the Duke kind of ignored the implication behind the Second Prince's words, that should not be enough to offend him, right?
After all, the Duke has to givr justice to his two children. One is the future Duke of Rothland that he would pass his title on and the other is a prospective Empress
Jerome would be angry to death if Ryden and Clyde wasn't punished and Jermaine would surely throw tantrums until 'justice' was given to him
Those two would just give him headaches if he don't do anything. Not to mention, he also don't like the fact that a mere illegitimate Prince has dared to harm not just one but two of his children
That is akin to a slap in his face and honor that he wouldn't not take lying down
Unfortunately, it seems like the Second Prince really planned on meddling. The Duke doesn't know if Kervy was just really helping and siding with Clyde and Ryden or he just thinks that he was speaking casually
