Tập 12: Công tước đối mặt với lời nguyền và gia đình trong khi Alice thú nhận tình yêu

12

Duke sees his mother but she sends him to bed so they can talk in the morning. Duke is surprised when Viola claims Gerbera was actually in a good mood. Gerbera mistakes Alice for Sharon, whom she was good friends with, and becomes unexpectedly emotional. Viola takes Duke to the garden where the witch cursed him to love no-one, be loved by no-one and live a life of misery. Viola tells Duke she and Walter are jealous of Duke since at least he lives away from their mother. At dinner Gerbera explains that with their father terminally ill they must decide on the family heir and gives Duke until spring to break his curse or Walter will become heir. Duke gives an impassioned speech about his love for Alice but when Gerbera refuses to let him marry a maid he accuses her of treating her children like possessions before storming out. Privately, Gerbera is proud Duke was able to stand up to her. Duke returns home with Alice and tells her what he said to Gerbera, but he still wants to marry her no matter what. Alice waits for Duke to fall asleep before saying that she loves him too. (Source: Wikipedia)
