Prince Silas rushes to find the rare Moonlotus herb to treat his mother’s worsening condition, despite the taboo against his involvement with humans. At the medicine hall, he insists on buying the Moonlotus, offering to work off the cost, but the apothecary owner refuses to sell it to a child and demands an adult buyer. Silas faces dismissive resistance and pressure from bystanders refusing to help him. Determined, he refuses to leave empty-handed as his mother’s health deteriorates, leaving this urgent quest unresolved and his next move uncertain.
