The Masked prince
"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.

Derrick Wakes Up
After the physician left, Evelyn pondered on his words.
The physician meant to say that Derrick was still being poisoned. But how could he be …unless the food he ate was also poisoned!
Evelyn inhaled sharply at her guess.
If that was so then it must be Raphael's doing but then why was he even bothering to send the physician to feed Derrick the medicinal paste?
Did it mean that Raphael wanted to keep Derrick alive but not awake?
Evelyn paced across the chambers as she thought what could be Raphael's plans exactly.
In these few weeks, she had been able to find only some information.
If Raphael was still keeping the pretense of sending a physician then it meant that there are still some people in the Royal Palace who don't belong to him. But to get even those people's help and to get out of here, she needed Derrick.
Her eyes went towards Derrick again as an idea came to her mind.
