"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 continued to change sides on the bed but she couldn't fall asleep.
In the end, she huffed and sat up on the bed. It was around midnight but she was unable to fall asleep.
In the end, she stepped outside her room and was surprised to see Isla leaning against the wall beside the room.
Isla also stood up seeing her stepping out of the room and asked in a concern-filled voice.
"My Lady, are you alright? Do you need anything?"
"No…but what are you doing here?"
"I am protecting My Lady."
Isla said with a solemn expression on her face.
Evelyn frowned in confusion when she heard this.
"But you didn't use to do this before?"
She remembered very well she had never seen Isla like this ...standing outside her room even at night.
"That was because My Lady was with His Highness. I was assured that with His Highness's presence, My Lady could never be harmed."
Isla didn't tell Evelyn that it was Regan only who had instructed her to do so while Regan never told Isla why he said so.
