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.

Evelyn Is Strong
When Evelyn woke up, she realized that she was in a very familiar room.
She stiffened when she moved a little and felt an arm draped around her waist. Turning a little, when she saw the mask-clad face, her eyes were full of relief and her body relaxed.
She, in fact, moved more towards Regan's warmth and put her arms around his waist.
"Awake?"
She heard his voice and hummed slightly in response.
She could feel a soft kiss on her hair as she laid her head on his chest.
Neither of them spoke after that.
In the silence, Evelyn couldn't help but remember what happened before she went unconscious. Just then, she heard Regan say
"Evelyn…you didn't do anything wrong."
Evelyn blinked the tears that were threatening to form in her eyes. She understood what he was saying.
"I know."
She said firmly.
"I just remembered Oliver's death seeing all that."
It was now Regan's turn to stiffen this time but he didn't say anything after that. There was another round of long silence.
