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

On the last Kiev's brief visit to Ardel, the prince didn't show much expression, and Kaizer did notice he abruptly left after speaking with Nessica, Anna's nanny. The prince didn't even take a glance at his sick betrothed and was not seen until now.

It was assumed that he had lost interest in the marriage, prompting Kaizer to carry out his rebellious plan to seize the throne by eliminating all his enemies.

The then Prime Minister was not willing to take the risk of the princess bearing an heir and someday making a claim to the throne if she were to be married.

Kaizer held his breath. He already knew why this person came; fortunately, he had made up a good excuse for that.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. The princess had died," he replied.

A crease formed on Kiev's forehead as he heard the king's reply, tainting his alluring good look. His mesmerising red ruby eyes glared at Kaizer persistently.

"How come? What happened to her?" he asked.
