Without much to object Kram took up Alto's place in the duel with Kendall the one who had beaten him in their first fight. To Kram he found this as an opportunity to beat the one who bested him, Amy had chosen herself to be the one to fight in the duel but Kram had planned from start to be the one to fight in the duel. His reason was simple, he did not want to see Alto fight since he was a weakling and him losing would bring shame to his face, he did not want Amy to fight in his stead since he could not let a woman fight a man so he chose to fight.
Kendall took it upon himself to fight as a sense of duty in order to uphold the general's honour. Truthfully he did not want to fight Alto, on seeing Kram he became excited that he would at least get a satisfactory sport.
