Salvation, About Its Cruelty

"Commoner girl."

Olivia could never get used to those loathsome words.

Her titles, such as "first female university student’" and "valedictorian," were meaningless. Then one day, the Herod Royal Family presented her with Noah Astrid, the "Flower of the Royal Family." Though it seemed to be a flower full of poison, she had no choice but to take it.

And she couldn’t help but love this flower, the first she had ever held.

Because it was like salvation.
