Due to the difference in status.
When a high-ranking noble proposes a duel to a lower-ranking noble, it's generally not refused by the latter.
A refusal.
Indicates implicit acceptance of alternative methods by the opponent.
Lower-ranking nobles, when faced with high-ranking nobles in such situations, can hardly resist.

This is stipulated in the Dueling Technique.
Of course.
This regulation was actually introduced by the Imperial to reduce noble titles.
The title obtained by high-ranking nobles in a duel can only be granted or gifted to others.

This gifted title cannot be inherited.

Indeed.
Even in the case of mortal enemies, they'd rather not employ this restrictive and cumbersome dueling technique.
