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

The knight stood fixed in his position as he heard the words coming from the knightess, eyes glaring at her intensely.

"What do you mean engaged? Was she engaged with anyone before?" he asked her.

"Not was… is engaged! She's engaged to someone from Sabel Island! She would've been married to him by now if it wasn't for the incident!" Clara yelled back at him.

"What incident? It doesn't matter anymore if she was or is engaged to anyone! It's irrelevant now! She's married to my lord! So, any previous engagement is automatically annulled!" he countered.

Clara was about to argue further when the screams of the eagles rendered the air once again.

"Someone's coming. Quick! Hide!" warned the knightess as she struggled to stand up.

Seeing her hassle, Noah promptly approached, lifting her onto his shoulder and urged Emily to lead the way. The young woman's eyes widened at the sudden action as the knightess protested.
