Episode Title:
Swindle.
Episode Description:
After Henry and Alexander each raise the bid price on the Exile artifact among the other auction participants, Guild Maestro Delphine Eraclea raises the bid price to 50 billion Claudia. However, Alexander is prevented from bidding anymore due to being temporarily threatened at gunpoint before the auction officially closes. Meanwhile, Tatiana and Alister pick up a cargo of explosives for their mission during their final pit stop. By pulling ahead of Dio and Lucciola in the final lap, Claus and Lavie win the race after filling up their fuel tank halfway to lighten their vanship during their final pit stop. At precisely midnight, Tatiana and Alister drop the explosives to destroy the power generators, causing a power outage. Seizing the opportunity, Alexander kills Henry and escapes. While Delphine discover the artifact as counterfeit, Alexander learns from Graf, the steward of House Hamilton, about the Mysterion of House Hamilton, one of the four riddles with corresponding answers that will unlock Exile. Lavie confides in Claus to be his mechanic instead of his navigator for now. Dio and Lucciola, who are able to see in the darkness, offer to tow Claus and Lavie back to the Silvana.
