"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.

She exhaled sharply as she looked at Rex wondering if he was trying to make fun of her. However, after observing him for a moment, she didn't think that was the truth.
There was a long silence between them before she turned to look at Rex again and said
"I hope Your Highness would refuse to marry me."
The smile on Rex's lips disappeared when he heard that.
"Why is that if I may ask Lady Alexandria?"
Alexandria stared at him a moment longer when she heard him calling her name. For some strange reason, she liked the way he called her.
Alexandria looked away a moment later. She needed a calm mind to answer the question. As much as she wanted to be honest, she knew that he was a prince so she couldn't hurt his ego by rejecting him outrightly. So she said politely
"Your Highness, I don't want to marry a man who would have any other woman except me. I can't be like a virtuous woman that Your Highness needs so it is better for both of us not to go ahead with this proposal."
