Alice asks Duke to a festival in town, with Duke in a costume heavy enough he won’t pose a danger. A masked woman named Daleth recognises Alice as Sharon Lendrott’s daughter. Duke helps a lost child feel better by playing a piano, his skill causing the crowd to dance. After seeing a novelty mask of his face Duke realises rumours about his curse are spreading. Alice tells Duke a tale about a princess whose prince was imprisoned on the moon, so every year she sends him a kiss. Duke becomes depressed that even on a date he cannot touch Alice, but she assures him being close is enough. Later, Alice summons him to her room, and while she pretends it is for perverted reasons she just helps him relax so he can sleep. Duke invites her on a boat to watch a meteor shower but when she falls in he is unable to catch her. Alice demands a kiss, even if it kills her, but when he refuses she reveals it was a trick so she could tip him in the water as well. They miss the meteors and Duke is upset he couldn’t tell Alice he loves her like he planned. Alice doesn’t mind and tells him to try again at the next meteor shower in ten years. (Source: Wikipedia)
