you apply rudder and the aeroplane rolls. this is because during the yaw one
wing is moving faster than the other until the yaw ceases
But that explanation is what has confused the OP - he has noticed that the rolling force is still there once the yawing movement has stopped and the wings are again travelling at the same speed. Its dihedral that causes the yaw-roll coupling.
