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…

Kiev glanced around, taking in the castle's grandeur, while the king walked solemnly.

As they approached the annexe, the prince couldn't help but feel curious about his betrothed, who used to reside there.

"It seems a bit far away from the main building. Has she always stayed in the annexe?" he asked the king, hoping for some insight into the princess's life.

Kaizer's face darkened as he explained, "The princess was delicate and easily overwhelmed by crowds. She needed a quiet space to recover, so she chose to stay here. It is so unfortunate that she didn't live long."

As they reached the locked door, Kaizer gestured for his servant to open it. Without a word, the servant produced a key and unlocked the door.
