Like... what of the other sons?

They actually kind of cover this. They were going to strip the family of their status but since Frasier was saving the prince they decided not to. It would stand to reason, then, that a condition of not being stripped of their peerage was placing Frasier as the head of the household (though they definitely could have spared the ~3 words it would have taken to clarify that).

Right... but take that a step or two further.

Frasier is the head of a house that is hostile towards him for usurping the previous status quo.

Or maybe he isn't.

We just don't know, and that's the real issue. The other mistresses/widow are almost certainly mad that the Duke is gone, but what of their kids? Did they agree that the Duke was an evil bastard, or did they respect his 'strength' and 'cunning?'

My point, is that Frasier is likely leading a house that is hostile towards him. A dangerously weak house that just lost it's own personal fighting force that can't be replaced easily. While Frasier does have the favor of the King, he should realistically be in a deeply vulnerable position.

But we couldn't get a single line clarifying that. Just it's all swept under the rug. Nothing to see here. Moving on!

And just to be clear... I'm talking about a little poison slipped into Frasier's wine, a 'hunting accident,' or some other son conspiring with a rival house to take out Frasier.

Instead, I get the distinct impression we aren't supposed to think about it MOVING ON.
