The Duke Of Death And His Maid Curse Lifted
Okay, let's be honest. Who wasn't rooting for that curse to break? I mean, the tension was palpable.
The Duke's Dilemma: A Love Story in Social Distancing
We're talking about The Duke of Death, of course! He was cursed, remember? Anything he touched died.
Not exactly ideal for finding love, is it? Especially when your love interest is your super dedicated and beautiful maid, Alice Lendrott.
Must Read
Alice, the Ageless Wonder Maid
Alice was practically begging him to fall in love! Teasing, flirting, always so close...but no touching. Brutal!
Seriously, how much torture can one guy endure? My unpopular opinion? She was doing it on purpose (a little bit!).
She knew the curse was the obstacle. And she was determined to overcome it, just so she could annoy the Duke even more when they were together.
The Curse, The Kiss, The Chaos
The whole series was a slow burn. So much longing. So many awkward almost-kisses!
And then... BAM! The curse is lifted! All thanks to some familial sacrifice and magical whatnot.
Finally, The Duke can hold Alice's hand without accidentally turning her into a bouquet of wilted roses. Cue the confetti (and maybe a few tears of relief)!
But Was It Worth the Wait?
Honestly, the curse lifting was almost anti-climactic. Not because it wasn't satisfying, but because...the journey was the best part!
We watched their relationship develop under the most bizarre circumstances. The longing, the banter, the sheer absurdity of it all.
Maybe that's why I was low-key hoping the curse would stick around for a few more episodes? Just to see what other creative ways they'd find to flirt without touching.
Now What? Life After the Lift
So, the curse is gone. The Duke and Alice are finally together. Happily ever after, right?
Probably. But I'm secretly hoping for a sequel series where they have to deal with normal couple problems. Like, who gets the last slice of cake?
Or maybe Alice has developed a slight fear of being touched and the Duke has to learn to reassure her again.
Unpopular Opinion Time: Curses Make Things Interesting
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for The Duke and Alice. They deserve all the happiness in the world.
But let's be real, the curse added a certain...je ne sais quoi to their relationship. A layer of forbidden romance that made it so addictive to watch.
Without the curse, they're just...a normal couple. And normal is boring! Bring back the magical mishaps, I say!
Final Thoughts: Long Live Cursed Romances
Okay, maybe I'm being dramatic. But seriously, "The Duke of Death and His Maid" taught us one important lesson: sometimes, the biggest obstacles can lead to the greatest love stories.
And who knows, maybe curses aren't so bad after all? At least they make for great television!
Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go re-watch the entire series and cry happy tears (and maybe a few tears of longing for the curse to come back).
