Why am I getting free land and am I at risk of losing it eventually?

Playing on vanilla and this my first experience with this game for the most part. I’ve done a WHOLE lot of research and have made at least 6 different characters just learning.

Im finally on a successful run, I replaced sarranid sultanate and have 1700 renown, 153 honor rating, and 54 RTR. It took me forever to start a kingdom so about 80% of the lords I’ve met have over 25 relation. As soon I started my kingdom I had about 15 lords in my court.

I accepted the 3 lords I knew were upstanding and left the rest. For some reason though, I now own some of the lands of the defected lords even though I didn’t accept them and they’re still standing in my court.

I guess my real question is: if I throw a garrison in these cities, am I at risk of these lords taking their land back if i never talk to them? (I haven’t been able to go over there yet since I’m at war with neighbors and it’s across the map)

It says they are my vassal on their character page, but not on my kingdoms faction page.

Thank you so much! and I apologize for formatting, I’m on mobile.
