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

Under Anryr's attentive guidance, Anna gracefully ascended the grand staircase, her steps sinking into the plush carpet that adorned each stair. The hallway stretched before her, inviting her gaze to wander and soak in the resplendent beauty of the mansion's interior.

The golden glow of the ornate chandeliers cascaded down, casting a warm, opulent ambience throughout the space. Intricate tapestries adorned the walls, their vibrant colours and designs telling tales of extravagance.

Exquisite sculptures stood as silent sentinels along the hallways, testaments to the artistic prowess and refined taste of the mansion's owner. Reaching the master suite's entrance, Anryr turned to the lady with a courteous smile.

"This is your suite, my lady. Please, allow me to open the door for you."
