Those that are there are there of their volition. Veno hasn't learned much since his death, it would seem, but he can only keep up his Duke Venomania roleplay so long as his "harem" is willing. They have the power to leave and so Veno's not in the ideal situation he was in before with his powers.

Maylis does try to go into her reasoning for being with the man at the moment, despite absolutely despising him. I get the impression she's supposed to be representative of the others.
