The elders are so audacious because the duke apparently never punishes them or sets them any particular limits. That's extremely dangerous behavior from the duke, so who knows why he's handling the elders like that.wait, so the old men got scot free?
because reasons there is a reason why they think they can do anything... mostly because the all so perfect duke for some reason cant just... idk demonstrate his power on people who stir shit up?Why hasn't the elders been punished!?
Also, I'm worried for the amazing Mrs. Higgins
i read plenty of korean shoujo manhwa to tell you that they either get off free until they will try to actually kill her...wait, so the old men got scot free?
Fundamentally it seems like they run everything he doesn't. So while they're absolute bastards, certainly, just killing them all or sentencing them to death wouldn't be very productive. But that's just a guess.The elders are so audacious because the duke apparently never punishes them or sets them any particular limits.

Killing is not the only punishment method. The duke doesn't have to kill anyone (yet). But he needs to punish them assert his authority.Fundamentally it seems like they run everything he doesn't.

If this story doesn't even emphasize in the future that he's looking to deal with them, then that's the real problem.
