Limits and Maxima (RRG, p. 12)
If the effects of a card or ability with a limit or a maximum are canceled, it is still counted against the limit/maximum.

I think this is a language barrier issue. The event technically says "Interrupt: When the effects of a triggered ability would initiate, cancel those effects." but with a built in limitation on which Triggered Abilities it can hit: Character, Location, or Attachment.
"Triggered Ability" is defined in the Rules Reference Guide:

Hi. I need some help to consolidate my knowledge
Here is a situation that occured earlier today.
My opponent initiate a MIL challenge using Mirri Maz Duur (who had just got her icon from Syrio Forel).
I lose that challenge.
When we reach the "claim step" (C of DUCK), my opponent decides to trigger her reaction that reads:
Interrupt: When claim is applied for a challenge in which Mirri Maz Duur is attacking alone, choose a character controlled by the losing opponent. Instead of the normal claim effects, kill that character.
Proudly, I trigger my Treachery in the hopes of canceling her effect...
Here is the question: What did I cancel exactly ?
1) Did I cancel the claim replacement effect ? or 2) Did I cancel the "killing of the chosen character" ?
If #1 : it would mean I would have to satisfy a military claim, killing a character of my choice.
If #2 : everyone on the board is safe for now !
Thanks in advance for your clarification
You canceled "Instead of the normal claim effects, kill that character". The claim replacement effect. So now you need to satisfy regular claim.
