I think a lot of people have a misunderstanding about nobility in those types manga where we deal with an heavily romanticized vision of nobility, laws don't apply to them and honor is the last of their worries as long as they stay in power, nobody will give a fuck if ...

The dukedom.
The dukedom will care.

EDIT: Ya'll are completely missing the point, that I was entirely hinging on the fact that the MC fought for a Duke's daughter, officially.
Going against the MC now, is to directly spit in the Duke's face, which can give immense political leeway in favor of the Duke.
It is not about "They are honor-bound to play nice", it's about not pissing off the highest form of authority in the entire kingdom other than the king.

P.S: Also, do not forget that this setting makes no sense if you're trying to apply actual history to it. That is to say -- in which world would peasants be receiving official education outside of a church, and on top of that -- together with nobility, not to mention, the royalty of the kingdom?
It reminds me a dumb ass story in which slaves were also allowed to study together with royalty. If the story goes so much off the rails, you cannot hark about how "that's not how that works in real life".
Yeah no shit it doesn't.

I don't understand why he's expecting such dire retribution, such as execution.
He was literally the representative of a Duke's daughter. Duke. That's almost the highest ranking in the noble-hierarchy. If royalty would go for his head, it'd be a direct disrespect to the Dukedom of the kingdom. That's fucking stupid. Am I missing anything here? It's not like the MC tossed a rock at them out of nowhere, it was an official duel, for the honor of an extremely high ranking noble for fuck's sake.
It’s dumb but it’s a real fear, Mc is a commoner who in the times of nobles were heavily looked down on by nobility (it’s why there is the whole romance between commoner and a princess tales got popular, it was a big thing because it was taboo.)

Also Allen fought against 5 VERY important people and made a joke of them, this smears the honor of those five family’s (and honor is big thing to nobility), the dukes family protecting Allen could then make the other 5 family's hostile to them (politically horrible for the duke), making Allen more trouble than he’s worth even if the duke is thankful to him.

Allen’s ONLY saving grace is his ability’s making him a possible “irreplaceable” asset in the future, btw this IS Allen’s thought process.
