These people didn't come across as your normal day to day criminals. Not only because of the insane amount of wealth they had. There seemed to be something so much bigger going on here that I hadn't quite figured out yet. They murdered someone in a hotel, erased all evidence of ever being in that room and got away. Then they found out about my mother and I as well as all our criminal activity in less than a week.
Dukes were given authority to govern towns and cities as well as ownership of farming land and Mines. For example, a duke could be responsible for a single town and own one farm. Whilst another could govern multiple towns and cities and have multiple farms and Mines. It all depended on status.
As a result of the floods a number of their private businesses had been affected. I could only imagine the stress they were in from the money they are losing.
