Ép. 3: Mitsuha feint l'accident pour rencontrer Claus et négocier la vente de la perle

3

Mitsuha is prevented from meeting Claus without an invitation, so she fabricates a meeting with his sons by feigning being hit by their carriage. Having made a good first impression, Mitsuha gifts Claus a Swiss Army knife, with which he is instantly intrigued. At dinner at his mansion, she meets Claus' wife Iris, sons Alexis and Theodore, and daughter Beatrice. Mitsuha claims to have fled her country to allow her beloved younger brother to inherit, avoid a succession dispute and intends to support herself as a merchant, starting by selling a medium quality pearl necklace. However, Iris reveals pearls are so rare that an entire necklace of them would be an instant national treasure no amount of gold could buy. Taking pity on her ignorance, Iris agrees to hide the necklace from the public in exchange for enough gold to open a general store in the capital. The family continues to be impressed with Mitsuha's innovative business sense, and she finds herself reminded of her own parents and brother, causing her to cry. The next day, Claus sends her to the capital in his carriage with a letter of official sponsorship and an invitation to visit them again anytime. (Source: Wikipedia)
