| - The Lovely tells the life story of Abigail Johnson, one of the female Founding Fathers, nicknamed Abbie or the Lovely. She is born in a Californian mine village, where both her parents work hard. They both die, and she fears having to work in a deadly mine or stranding in an orphanage. She moves to San Francisco herself, where she does anything to stay alive. Only 15, she has a though time working on the streets and in factories. One day, she finds a dead man's body in San Francisco. Abigail looks - hungry and poor - for his wallet, where she discovers a real fortune. Then, her "life re-make" begins. She buys new clothing, dresses like a noble lady, and adjusts to the San Francisco top class life. On a market, she meets a young man from Europe, Arthur Noble, and some of his friends. They were just planning a discovery trip to the West, hoping to find a secret archipelago. She is asked to join them on their trip and she finally decides to take the offer. Their ship leaves the San Francisco harbor, on its way to an unknown world. The crossing of the Pacific Ocean near the Californian coast is very hard. The first hours of the trip, the weather was mostly wonderful, but then it turned. The Francis II finds itself in a storm, causing heavy damage aboard. They try to fix it, and then recommence their course to the beloved archipelago. Once Abigail, Arthur and the other Founding Fathers arrive on Peace Island, they are astonished by the natural beauty of the Noble City Bay. They decide to throw out their ankers and discover the bay area. Arthur Noble starts the construction of a settlement, that they have named after him. In the last act, Abigail has a relation with Arthur Noble, who has been crowned King of Lovia. Their relation is very complex, and though they love eachtother very much, the relation is not able to last in these bare circumstances.
