"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 woke up even before sunrise. She was surprised when she sensed the warmth of her body amidst the cold winds. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw the blanket that was draped over her body, and then her eyes went to Derrick who was also leaning against the same tree some distance away covered with the same blanket.
Looking at the blanket, she felt a little at loss. She had clearly told him that she was alright then why did he…. But then she soon shook her head.
Derrick's words from before had already made her know his thoughts about slaves clearly. It hurt Evelyn to know how the King of Empire looked at slaves as if they were animals.
Then again…with the condition of slaves in Alfaros and whatever happened in the arena that day…she should have already known this.
After all, none of that could have happened without Derrick's permission.
Evelyn would take care of him because he was King and Regan's father but she didn't know if she respected him after her outburst.
