"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.

"Orla…"
Martha called out to Orla again seeing that she was not moving at all. It was only then Orla came out of her thoughts and saw Martha looking at herself with a frown on her forehead.
She immediately hid all her resentment and put a fake smile on her lips as she said
"Thank you, Madam. But I have already bought one."
She would rather die in the cold than wear something that had been worn by a slave. Orla thought as she looked at Evelyn with disgust-filled eyes before she lowered her head to do her chores.
Martha's frown went deeper at these words. Just yesterday she had asked a fur coat from her and she bought a new one so soon. However, since she had already bought it, she would just put it away.
Thinking this, Martha was about to leave the kitchen when a maid stepped forward and said hesitatingly.
"Madam, can I get this? I actually wanted to buy one this winter but I was not left with enough money after buying the clothes for my children."
