When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector.

Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. 

Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. 

Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. 

But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night."

Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman."
---
Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and became celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities.

Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. 

For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. 

Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her.

Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

The Grand Duke's Soulmate

"Armel, what's going on? Why do you look upset?" Anna's words fell out in haste when her doe eyes caught the adolescent's gloomy expression.

The teen quickly shook his head and smiled wistfully.

"Oh, nothing! What happened to Mr Norman?" Armel quickly shifted the topic when he saw the assistant lying unconsciously on the bed.

The teen was so engrossed with the lady that he completely lost his attention to the surroundings and didn't realise Ayden's condition.

Both of them walked up to the patient's bed. The two knights sprang from their seats as the duo approached.

"He's sleeping. He has just returned from duty and is very exhausted," she told him.

The night the foragers were brought to the infirmary, Ayden took care of them until morning.

Armel remembered how attentive the assistant healer was to them. When Ayden left, Rafe took over before he went on the following day.
