Those cities were built by myself not captured from vassal. Their populations are 100% mine, why would they constantly request to join my vassal. I would think my vassal cities request to join my country would be more reasonable, don't you think?
Another thing, When my vassal first seek my help and want to became my vassal, he was at war another country, So I was at war with that country as soon as i accept vassal. then I captured a city from the enemy, however the city went to my vassal.
