The Masked prince
"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.

The Last Stroke
The next day, Oliver went to the library again and since Gianna and Cooper were not at home since the morning, Evelyn was more scared.
In the end, after Oliver left the house, she went to the room she used to stay in previously and locked the door from the inside.
She didn't know if Arthur went to school or not but she didn't step out to check. But she received her answer when the door of her room was knocked loudly.
It was still morning which meant that he didn't go to school.
She flinched when he knocked her again that too quite loudly.
"Evelyn, are you inside?"
Evelyn didn't give him any answer. She just continued to shrink herself into a ball in the corner of the room. She was afraid that he would break the lock of this door like that other day.
"Evelyn, I know you are inside."
Arthur's voice was full of certainty when he said these words and he stopped knocking on the door.
"Open the door, Evelyn. Why will you lock the door from the inside?"
