It's weird Brian didn't think, even for a second, the value of the title. A jump from a count to a duke is considerable. It would be worthless for anyone not able to shoulder the debt and not possessing military and economic power fitting for a duke, but if one does possess those qualities, they could be a real duke, not just a paper tiger duke and a laughing stock.

It's more worrisome that the current emperor is still following the already dead, ancient emperor's order to keep house Claudia suffering. Liam might want to find out if marrying Rosetta means becoming the emperor's enemy. On the other hand, if the emperor is his own man at all, he would use the chance to end the whole stupid suppression and be done with it. It hasn't got anything to do with him anymore, not even his father or father's father, I imagine.

Yeah but as he mentioned - at what cost?

Not to mention how old people can get in this setting, it isn't something that needs to be rushed.

As for the decree - It's probably one of those things people have long forgotten exists and is just continuing on its own momentum at this point.

I like Brian's interpretation of Liam's motive, that Liam is willing to pursue Rosetta and is not considering the financial costs (much).

If the Emperor desires to make an enemy of Liam, too bad for the Emperor, I guess.

Remembering how long these people live, a thousand years is only two or three generations. A decree like that would still be remembered.

Yes, remembered, but why would they care about it? It shouldn't have any emotional connection whatsoever to the current emperor. The current emperor's house was the winning one anyway. The loser, such as house Claudia, on their part might indeed bear a grudge the size of Olympus Mons. But that's because of this unreasonable suppression lasting millennia. For the current emperor, it's like: "My grandfather or great grandfather handily beat these people thousands of years ago." Like what kind of negative feelings could he possibly bear at all toward house Claudia? It's all about the soul crushing corruption absolute power has brought upon the rulers. No lives, save their own, has any value whatsover.

Fujo-chan, your only choice is to marry Wallace and permanently take him out of the relationship pool.
