Part 2/7:
Following the funeral, Maria, along with her caretaker Heliotrope, visits their lawyer to learn about her father’s will. She discovers that her father lost all their property, leaving her with only one item — an old book titled The Ancient Chronicles of Moonacre Valley. That evening, faced with her sorrow, Maria delves into the book, where she uncovers a mythical tale of a Moon Princess from the Denoir clan and a romantic bond with Rolf from the Merryweather clan. What follows is a revelation about magical moon pearls that can grant wishes but also incite greed and conflict — foreshadowing the turmoil that awaits Maria.
