"making clear that he doesn't want to waste his feelings" I think you're too ambitious there lol
His majesty will never leave the duke, he loves him way too much. To the point that he doesn't mind sharing him with the 2 servants.
He was just very hurt and blinded by jealousy for a moment, but if Duke come beging a little he will come back immediatly I'm sure xD

Hmm, he's angry mostly cause the duke was surounded by people and he was scared he would have even more partners than he has now. So to win against other partners, he wanted him to be his empress, so like the majesty would be his partner no1.
And the answer the duke gave him disapointed him.
But will he never come back even if the duke doesn't become his empress and have even more partners? No way, I don't believe it one second x') He will still come back, even unhappy, or so I believe.
Not sure we'll see if I'm right or wrong though.
Finally some story development! Saying no to the duke and making clear that he doesn't want to waste his feelings was awesome of the king!
