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…

Emily quickly rushed to assist Clara as she stumbled to the ground, her crutch falling alongside her.

"Are you all right?" the young woman asked with concern as she helped the knightess back up to her feet, ensuring she was safe and steady.

The knightess grunted in pain, and Emily could feel her discomfort.

"Hold on to me!" She pulled her arm and put it behind her shoulder as they attempted to flee the site.

Clara's words halted midway when a sound of leaping footsteps fell before them. A shadow of a burly figure loomed over the women, causing them to startle at the sudden appearance. It had become apparent that their attempts to remain hidden all this time had been unsuccessful.
