As Pas gets to know Licorice better, Count Retes invites him to a tea tasting ceremony in order to work her way into his good graces. Pas agrees to come, but sees it as a chance for advertising.
having them taxed every time I send 
them wouldn't be fair to the merchants.
فإنّ دفع ضرائب مقابلها في كلّ مرّة 
.أرسلها فيها لكم لن يكون عادلاً للتّجّار
Wenn für jede ausgelieferte Süßigkeit
Steuern erhoben würden,
si les cobran cada vez
que les dejan dulces,
no sería justo que cobraran
impuestos a los mercaderes.
S’il fallait payer à chaque fois,
sarebbe un peccato chiedere ai mercanti
di accollarseli per recapitare le caramelle.
taxá-los toda vez pelos envios
não seria justo com os vendedores.
потому каждый раз платить большой
 налог торговцам будет невыгодно.
