My interpretation is that succeeding on the saving throw granted for orders against the subject's nature negates the domination entirely. It's described as "a new saving throw."

Succeeding on a Saving Throw
A creature that successfully saves against a spell that has no obvious physical effects feels a hostile force or a tingle, but cannot deduce the exact nature of the attack. Likewise, if a creature’s saving throw succeeds against a targeted spell you sense that the spell has failed. You do not sense when creatures succeed on saves against effect and area spells.

Subjects, Effects, and Areas
If the spell affects creatures directly the result travels with the subjects for the spell’s duration. If the spell creates an effect, the effect lasts for the duration. The effect might move or remain still. Such an effect can be destroyed prior to when its duration ends. If the spell affects an area then the spell stays with that area for its duration.
Creatures become subject to the spell when they enter the area and are no longer subject to it when they leave.

You spell using ninnies just don't got the balls to do things more gruffly, and only hide behind yer darn spelltomes and fancy wizards scrolls ;D Sheer physical brutallity and fear inducements are the way to go for investigation! Spew the beans or become beans for a dragon's dinner plate! HAIL BANE, HAIL! (his wizards would prolly use Domination too though, *snorts*)
