We even considered at one time letting you come back, but you felt physcially ill at the idea of being in a Dustari that was allied with Zormite. I made that offer to you myself and you decided not to return.
But please, tell us, here and now, what exactly would you have considered 'notice' of your removal as Duke from Dustari? Not when you were removed and stripped of that rank of course, nor when other people filled your previous rank, nor when you were told by the leaders of the kingdom told you those lands had since been reclaimed, nor when you were told you were not welcome to disrupt events of actual members of the kingdom - please, do tell us what exactly happened that made this all 'fuzzy' for you? How did you fail to comprehend? And please, let us know how all this equates to 'good roleplaying' on your part, I am sure it will be interesting.
