"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?

Evelyn however couldn't believe Regan because she didn't find any other reason behind Regan leaving her here suddenly.
Perhaps Regan could also see this and hence he had to tell her what he had been thinking all along.
"I blame myself, Evelyn."
After a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly which could be seen only half because of his mask.
"I had promised you that I would protect you. I had promised that no one would be able to harm you yet I couldn't do anything when he did all that. I can't …I can't even bring you the justice you deserve."
"Since I can't protect you…it is better to let go of you. That's why I left you here …the place you must be familiar to. Maybe you would want to go to your family. You are free to do so now. No one can stop you. Go to them and stay happy."
Although Regan's heart hurt when he said these words, he still kept a forced smile on his lips.
