King Herz Der Sonne's Journal is the journal that had belonged to one of Corona's past kings, King Herz Der Sonne, in Tangled: The Series.
Background
The journal holds Corona's secrets that were made in Der Sonne's time, as well as acts as a map to the underground tunnel system, that were placed under the kingdom during its time of war with Saporia. It also holds the king's feelings of love toward the leader of Saporia, General Shampanier. When she saw his confusion in the journal, during their battle, Shampanier realized that she felt the same way toward the King of Corona. This is why it plays a part in a Coronaian holiday that celebrates the ending of the war and Der Sonne and Shampanier's marriage merging the two kingdoms together, which would forever be known as the "Day of Hearts", where couples would write their names in the journal when it is displayed to the public.
Role in the series
Because of the secrets that it holds, the Separatists of Saporia had tried to get their hands on it. One of the separatist members, Andrew, had used the Day of Hearts holiday as an opportunity to steal it by building up a fake relationship with Cassandra, who was onto him from the start. Despite getting his hands on it and was now on his way back to Saporia so they could use the kingdom's secrets to plan an attack on Corona, Cassandra, Rapunzel, and Eugene stopped him and brought the journal back to the castle.
When Rapunzel and Varian agreed to steal the sun-drop flower, in "The Alchemist Returns", they used the map within the journal to help them find their way around the Der Sonne's tunnels so they could break into the guarded vault, that held the flower, from beneath. As the two were stealing the journal for their task, Rapunzel was hesitant about what they were doing, as she knew that it would lead to her committing treason toward her own family and kingdom.
During the events of "The King and Queen of Hearts", however, King Trevor steals the journal for his plot of making Arianna his queen, by having her sign their names in it, like she and King Frederic have done on Day of Hearts. After both parties returned to shore, Trevor gives the journal back to Rapunzel, but it had gotten wet in their battle with the angry sea serpent and all of its long held contents from Herz Der Sonne's time to there own were washed away, which upsets Rapunzel. She decides to start a new Journal Rapunzel and Eugene are the first to sign it
