A single territory in the middle of the enemy faction, like this, was pretty much a bleeding resource. There was not much profit to be had, and one needed a massive army to even protect the territory.
There was simply no way for a C rank like Damon without any backing or clan support to control a territory like this. It would only end up being a losing battle that would cost him a lot.
Instead, by offering everything without any demand, the young lord had once again shown his strategic prowess. Even someone from the Karakan family would only lose face if they accepted such a tribute, stripping the valiant and heroic young lord of his position.
The elder now had no choice except to allow him to continue as the Niera city lord while also accepting the majority of the responsibility. It was a lose-lose deal packaged as a free offer.
Another bold move from the young vampire lord!
