"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.

***Warning: Dear readers, this chapter and the next chapter would be very depressing. Even I cried when I was writing them. I only cried this much while writing my previous novel His Rui. So if you can't bear to read such things then please don't read these two chapters. I assure you that you would still be able to understand the story.
For those who will read, I will advise you guys to watch or read something humorous afterward. I would never want someone to stay sad because of me but this is part of the plot. Sorry.

Evelyn was in no mood of playing any sort of game. However, she knew that her being upset in the past few days was also making Oliver marry. He had already asked her the reason many times but she had just said that she was missing Gianna and Cooper because she still remembered how Gianna had warned her again and again that she couldn't make Oliver worry.
