"It was a game of survival." The great Empire of Alfaros was in chaos. Prince Regan was returning from the battlefield after four years. Years ago, he used to be the most beautiful prince of the Empire. Ironically, the same prince was today known as The Masked Prince. It is said that he had a huge scar on his face, a face that used to be very beautiful. The scar was so horrifying that the Emperor got scared when he saw it and sent him away to the battlefield. But the war was over. And he was to return. . . . Looking at the green eyes that didn't even flicker at the sight of his scarred face, Regan was filled with a surprise for a moment. At the same time, something flashed in his cold eyes when he saw how calm she looked. "What is your name?" "Evelyn, Your Highness" "Evelyn..." Regan tasted the name on his lips. His red eyes looked at her face which was completely blank and he said "Evelyn, you will be my personal slave from today on." Evelyn looked calm. However, as time passed, Evelyn realized that Regan wanted more. Much more than she could give him. She tried to stop him. But what would she do when the prince forcefully put his heart into her hands and was adamant about taking hers? Will Evelyn then choose to move away or to move on? Especially at the time when horrors of her past shadow her heart __________ This story is a part of the contest so if you enjoy reading, please support to encourage the author.

Evelyn didn't understand how she could take care of Oliver. But seeing Gianna's tears, she readily nodded her head and said
"Yes, Mother. Don't cry. I will always take care of Oliver."
Gianna felt relief spreading through her chest when she heard this.
The doctor had said that Oliver wouldn't be able to stand on his legs for his whole life. When she heard this, Gianna had been worried every night about how her son will manage after her and her husband's death.
Who would take care of him?
Her heart would sink inside her chest whenever she would think that he would be alone after her death.
However, there was now Evelyn.
Evelyn would stay with her son for her whole life and she was younger than her son. Perhaps they would even have children.
Then her son would not be alone.
Gianna again assured herself that whatever she was doing was right and she didn't regret anything.
