Its double-edged, yes. But if a 'leash' can be place while they retain their freedom, then it's a 'nuke on a leash'.
If the holders say "Fight the enemy!" and it's based on the loyalty gained, then the result is betrayal or obedience.
If the holders say "Make my kingdom great!" and conditions, equipment, and supplies are given, they can either fail or succeed.
Take for example, Grid, made a duke, revived a desert town, then sought to be more powerful for others all the while banging an earl-now-marquis's daughter.
and boy oh boy, never underestimate a woman's ability.
