What is Absentia doing in the House of Kildare? Does this mean that Ryan became a member of this House?

I did.

I did not intend to deprive Ryan of any land, but this new cockamamie system drug the land over here.

The land was granted to you, I told you it would move with you. . If you really don't want it, give it to House Annexis. Maybe you can get something for it.

Now that is up to the Dutch of Kildare.

That is true. Well. Yes and No. This county was granted to you personally as Fief. While the head of your house does reign over the house and lands in general (actually the law for such isn't in place yet...), you have final say on relinquishing control of these lands to another. The lands were not granted to the House as a whole, thus linked to the Title granted the House, the land was granted to you.

.....and as I intended no ill to Ryan, I will not betray my new Duke by diminishing his authority.

I can respect that position and admire it.
