"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.

Derrick looked at Evelyn calmly and answered
"It is the food that can be used in times of danger. My father had made this place, especially for such times. There are firewood and utensils available as well. You can cook anything you want for yourself."
Evelyn nodded her head vigorously but then she was suddenly worried.
"What if someone came inside…"
If they found her absent then they would immediately doubt that something was wrong.
"No one will come before lunch."
Derrick said calmly.
He had observed the pattern of the guard coming inside. Even Evelyn knew that he was somewhere right but there was every kind of possibility.
Even Derrick was aware of that but they couldn't continue with such food otherwise they will fall sick and won't have any energy.
So he said deeply
"Go and cook. I will close this gate and open it almost half an hour later. Would you be done by then?"
Evelyn nodded her head immediately.
Hence, they did as Derrick had suggested.
