第9話: 公爵のクリスマスパーティーでサンタに扮したウォルター

9

Viola decides to gift Rob a handkerchief at Duke's Christmas party. Walter illicitly follows Viola to Duke's mansion disguised as her driver. Zain reveals he may have feelings for Cuff and attempts to compliment her but Cuff falls asleep and it is uncertain if she heard him. Viola drops Rob's gift which is picked up by Walter as he sneaks in, hoping to see Duke depressed and alone. He disguises himself as Santa but is caught by Cuff who thinks he is the real Santa and tries to help by dropping him down the chimney. Duke is happy to see Walter as they have not seen each other in years. Walter confronts Duke about the unfairness of existing only as Duke's potential replacement. Duke settles an argument between Viola and Cuff over Rob's gift which Cuff mistakenly thought was her gift from Santa. Walter wagers with Duke that whoever discovers the cure to Duke's curse becomes the heir. Walter tries to leave but ends up stubbornly stuck outside in the snow, having remembered he is Viola's driver and can’t leave without her. After the party Alice teases Duke with a request for a kiss under mistletoe, causing Duke to remember the first time he told Alice he loved her. (Source: Wikipedia)
