"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.

Dan's attention was immediately picked by Elias when he heard these words and he asked Elias
"What kind of peculiar behvaiour?"
"He kept repeating the same sentence again and again despite what I asked him. And his eyes were blank …as if he couldn't hear me at all. He looked as if he was standing in front of me but his brain was somewhere else."
Hearing Elias' words, Dan fell silent.
However, Dan also looked very somber. As he stroked his beard, he inhaled sharply.
He had a guess. But he somewhere wished that it was not true.

Evelyn woke up exactly two hours later. Regan was by her side when she woke up.
"Evelyn…"
Regan called out softly when he saw that she was opening her eyes. Realizing that the room's brightness was making her uncomfortable, he immediately blew off the lamp placed on the bedside.
Evelyn opened her eyes slowly. There was confusion in her eyes for a few moments when she stared at Regan before she called out a few moments later.
