The Duke of the Frontlands is a corrupt man. Think of a corrupt politician that wants to go to war and somehow profit off of it. He doesn't want the war to end. He's doing that on purpose. So, it's not a plot hole.

Try not to ask less related questions, but

1) Mr. Gold has no first name and it doesn't matter since we only saw "Mr. Gold" for five minutes of the whole show and the est he was Rumplestilskin.

2) THey have a house, but the real house was sold, so the show can't film there currently. Now, it makes it seems like they live in the two room shop, lol.
