They expect Huck and Jim to treat them according to their supposed royal titles and statuses, which the two go along with to avoid conflict.

    Topic :- Huck meets the Duke
    and the King
    After a while the young man heaved a sigh and said, "Alas! To think I should be leading
    such a life, but it's all my fault. I brought myself down to this level..."

    "Brought down from where?" the old man asked.

    "Ah! you would not believe me; the secret of my birth, gentlemen," said the young man,
    very solemn, "I will reveal it to you, for I feel I may have confidence in you. By rights, I
    am a duke!"

    Jim's eyes bulged out when he heard that; and I reckon mine did too. The old man
    exclaimed, "No! You can't mean it!"

    'Yes," replied the young man, "my great-grandfather, the eldest son of the Duke of
    Bridgewater,
    son of the late duke seized the cities and the the righ and the infant real duke was
    ignored am the lineal descendant of that infant. I am the rightful Duke of
    Bridgewater, and here am I, forlorn, torn from my high estate, degraded, hunted
    by men, despised by the cold world, tired and heart-broken!"

    Jim pitied him ever so much, and so did I. We tried to comfort him, but he said if
    we could acknowledge him, that would do him better than anything else; so, we
    said we would, if he told us how. He said we ought to bow when we spoke to him
    and address him as Your Grace or My Lord or Your Lordship, and he would not
    mind it if we called him 'Bridgewater', which, he said, was his title anyway. And
    one of us ought to wait on him at dinner and do any little thing for him that he
    wanted done.
    Well, that was easy, so we did it. All through lunch Jim stood around and waited on him,
    and asked, "Will Your Grace have some of this or some of that?" But the old man did not
    look comfortable over all that was going on around that duke. He

    seemed to have something on his mind. So, in the afternoon, he said, "Look here,
    Bridgewater,

    I'm very sorry for you, but you aren't the only person who's had troubles like that. You
    aren't

    the only person that's had a secret of his birth." And, then he began to cry, his tears
    flowing
    "Bridgewater," replied the old man, "I am the late Dauphin! The poor
    disappeared Dauphin,

    Looy the Seventeen, son of Looy the Sixteen and Marry Antoinette. Yes,
    gentlemen, you see

    We were
    before so sorry,
    you, yet so glad
    the wandering, and proud
    exiled, that we and
    trampled-on had suffering
    got him with us. So
    rightful weof
    King tried to
    comfort him like we did the duke. He said it often made him feel better for a while if
    France."
    people treated him according to his rights, got down on one knee to speak to him,
    always addressed him as Your Majesty, waited on him first at meals and did not sit
    down in his presence till he asked them to. So Jim and I did all that.
    It did not take me long though to make up my mind that these liars were no
    kings or dukes, but just low-down humbugs and frauds. But I never said
    anything; kept it to myself; it is the best way because then you do not have
    any quarrels or get into any trouble. If they wanted us to call them kings and
    dukes, I had no objections, as long as it would keep peace in the family.

    If I had ever learnt anything from Pap, it was that the best way to get along
    with people is to let them have their own way.
