As I had discussed with the other on the page. Some says that grand duke/duke implies that Touya is serving under a king while, in fact, he is independent. I had stated some facts that the source material doesn't explicitly said that Touya is a 公爵 (duke) or a 王 (king). It only said Touya as a 公王, which do not have any direct translation into English as far as I know.

J-Novel as well as me, are susceptible to misinterpret what the author intention on his novel. There are also many occasion where the official English translation is far from the intended story plot. Furthermore, J-Novel also distribute their translation digitally, so they might also able to tweak the translation when they come to the chapter of the politic section of the story. Who knows?. The only one which has the final say is the original web novel, the source material of all.

Back to topic. Maybe if we translate 公王 literally, grand duke is more suitable. However, again, based on his political power that the author gave to this character, the title king is more sensible. I am not that fluent in English, let alone the monarch title. So being presented with this, I chose the sensible one based on the facts. However, I still open for another suggestion as long as the evidence is strong.
