I talked about this in-depth with a translator about all the specifics with how flexible we should be with the translation. When referring to Conchita, the term consistently used was duke (公爵)  like Venomania, not duchess (公爵夫人). Similar titles like "lord"/"fuedal lord" also applied in previous instances. In correlation with the the name being the "Five Dukes", giving them more of a cultural significance than the regular monarchy's title, "Duke" was deemed the most appropriate translation.

This is not too uncommon in history, most commonly cited for some female monarchs being called "king" rather than "queen", due to position of authority.
