"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?

"My Lady!"
Evelyn came out of her thoughts when she heard the familiar voice.
Looking away from Peri, she looked at Isla whose eyes were filled with concern. Isla had been worried when she didn't find Evelyn anywhere in her room and came looking for her here.
Evelyn turned to look at Peri coldly but her words were for Isla.
"Isla, give her ten gold coins and then send her out of the Palace."
Peri was shocked to hear these words from Evelyn's mouth.
"Evelyn, how can you…we are friends."
But Evelyn didn't hear anything.
Isla could see that her lady was unhappy. She was sure that it must be Peri's fault. She didn't like Peri from the start so she followed Evelyn's order eagerly.
Hence, Peri was sent out of the Palace with ten gold coins.
Isla actually felt that her lady was generous. With these ten gold coins, Peri should not have any difficulty starting her life again.
However, Evelyn only felt her eyes filling up with fresh tears.
