Tập 1: Công tước Tử thần và Alice chịu đựng sự cô lập, phản bội và lời nguyền chết người.

1

A young boy known as the Duke of Death is cursed by a witch so any living thing he touches dies, so his noble mother banished him to a mansion far away. He is served by a maid, Alice, a childhood friend who, despite knowing his touch would be fatal, enjoys tempting him with her body so she can enjoy his reactions and is the only one who spends time with him. Another childhood friend, Phillip, asks if he can visit and Duke agrees as he hopes to have friends again. Phillip arrives with guards who deter Duke from getting too close, ruining Duke's hopes. Phillip is scared when Duke accidentally touches a plant which withers away, and tries to convince Alice to leave Duke whom he calls a monster. Phillip reveals Duke's mother forced him to visit as a spy, revealing she hopes to replace Duke as family heir with his younger brother and cut Duke off from the family entirely. Phillip then leaves, swearing to never visit again. Duke is heartbroken but swears to one day break his curse and repay all Alice's kindness by confessing his love and asking her to marry him.
