Retracting Vassals opinion malnus.

[VoiceGS]

Hey all

I'm the Zoroastrian Empress of Persia and I have a vassal king of Egypt who has a vassal; the Duke of Tigris who happens to be my de jure vassal. When I went into the retract vassalage option it says that the king looses -20 opinion and I loose -5 opinion with my other vassals.

The -5 is something I can live with but why would I loose any opinion at all since the Duke of Tigris is my de jure vassal? I'm lucky to have a bonus with the king since he educated me as my father died when I was 10 so I can live with the -20 as well and it only last 5 years.

This isn't a complaint, it's just a question.

It's pretty simple, honestly. No matter whether the county is de jure yours, by taking control you have reduced the power of the liege. As a rule, people don't like having their power reduced.
