It is speculation, but the only explanation that explains both his sadness for the beloved he sacrificed to the Dragon and the fact that his main pawn is gone. The fact that pawns aren't allowed in the castle probably has multiple reasons. For one, pawns would recognize the Duke as Arisen, one who had not slain the dragon and second for having to confront pawns in general as a reminder of what he did.

But yeah it's all speculation, but sits better with me than having Aldous as his main pawn. Pawn's aren't allowed in the castle and if Aldous was the Duke's main pawn and he transformed into a human that would mean that the Duke defeated the dragon. Well we all know that isn't true.
