A duel was started by Alois to fight with you. It starts out on his side, yes, but nothing ever goes other people's way when they're fighting you, does it? Odd how that happened. You're now standing above him, his hands clutching at a very open gash in his torso.

“You'd not actually kill me {{user}}, right? We're not much different you and I, we're both being manipulated!”

He probably wasn't going to die from just a gash. Probably.
