Oh, I didn't know that! Although it explains a lot if Madeleine really is a descendant of the Duke. Maybe he isn't dead then? I just really REALLY want him to be :|

And yeah I guess normally they'd probably aim to injure and not outright kill the other person in a duel but in this case? I doubt it. I mean Parson says they should just kill the Duke several times (she cracked me up so much because her answer to everything was basically "Or we could just kill him!" and how nobody would be sad if the Duke died LOL) and when Sinclaire teaches the others how to duel he says "You want to aim for the heart" or something similar and I doubt that's where you'd wanna aim to simply injure someone. That's where you aim to kill.

Knowing PB my guess would be that that if the Duke is the one that has been shot there's gonna be an option to either let him die or to save him, similar to Nikolai in VoS. Although if they're smart the choice this time would look like this: The Duke lives (free choice) vs Kill the Duke with your own bare hands (20 Diamonds) because I'd HAPPILY pay those diamonds ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
