@Raydnt Daleth can't or so she has said, it was also Daleth's sister who put Alice's mom under that sleep or coma spell. Daleth's sister is dead (so Daleth said) so undoing the Duke's and Alice's moms' curse is pretty hard. Even Octowitch said something similar
@goodhunter Well, she was never appreciated and probably since the incident with her sister she was drowning in her own delusions. Water tastes better when you are thirsty and compliments work wonders for people who never get complimented. Especially coming from a young, handsome man who is in similar situation and she can relate to. Insert comedy and there you have it - deep psychical trauma solved in 2 pages xD
