Calling Roygun joining his peerage a demotion implies that she loses her status as a king which is objectively false. Roygun's status among her peerage remains the same, she would just be a subordinate king under issei. Her already being a king is irrelevant to the point that kings can serve under kings. It's also not a regression since issei superior to her regardless in that he's a king who didn't cheat. She regressed herself when she took the king peice and got busted.
