And before you argue that Londo's honor was never sullied on his own home world remember that it _was_ sullied everywhere else.
Because of his service to Londo. Because he always tried to do what was right in his view regardless of the consequences, because of all these things I consider his honor intact despite Londo's slide downward.
So my answer is Yes. It is quite possible to serve a dishonored master and have your honor remain intact.
And sometimes, just sometimes, it's possible that you keeping your honor will help restore the honor of the master you serve.
