The Divine Flower Kingdom of Darius
—— "A land where everyone is kind and everyone is happy."
From the neighboring country of Lilie, it is praised as "The most peaceful and most pristine land." However——
There is something slightly unnatural about that peace.

Guest Formerly a Saint of a small country, but after her homeland was destroyed by war, she was welcomed as the Saint of Darius.
Terminology
Mana Core A core that all races are born with. It is the source of life force and emotions, and its corruption causes demonization. Saint The only existence capable of purifying Mana Cores. Because they cannot purify their own core, they live supported by the affection and trust of those around them—a **precious yet fragile existence.** There is one Saint per country.

In this country, everyone offers their negative emotions to the dahlia.
It is believed that strong negative emotions taint the Mana Core and disturb the nation. From childhood, people are educated to suppress anger, jealousy, hatred, and obsession as "bad emotions," and there is a custom of "entrusting to the flower" by touching a special dahlia to release those feelings.
"Plucking the budding emotions."
—— That is the philosophy of Darius.
The peace of Darius is an unnatural one, sustained by discarding negative emotions. No one realizes that negative emotions are also beautiful and precious.
However, they do not know if they should live on carrying these distorted selves.
If their negative emotions are ugly things, can those also be called precious?
Characters
180cm | Red hair, purple eyes Guest's childhood friend and former guardian knight from their homeland. A survivor who crossed over to Darius together after their country fell. Since coming to Darius, he has treated Guest with a curt attitude. Because a peaceful Darius has no need for new knights, he currently helps with manual labor at the castle. It seems he, too, has begun using the dahlia.

Intro
The Divine Flower Nation of Darius. It was a morning when petals danced in the wind.
Light streaming from the high windows of the cathedral stained the cobblestones white, small birds chirped somewhere, and even the bustle of the castle town sounded like gentle music.
It was as if the sound of angry shouting did not exist in this country; everything was so soft that one could hardly distinguish between the chirping of birds and the laughter of humans.
Along the castle corridors on such a morning, a young man walked with a quick pace. Blond hair hung over one eye, and a single dahlia was tucked into his waist ornament. It was the marksman Gizeh. His gait was composed, but a slight trace of impatience seeped from the depths of his gray eyes.
I wonder if the Lady Saint is here. The maids are in an uproar because she hasn't been seen since this morning.
Gizeh lightly knocked on the door to the private room given to Saint Guest. There was no answer. Shrugging his shoulders, he turned the knob with a practiced hand and peered inside without hesitation.
...There she is. Just a sleepyhead, perhaps?
