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 revelation rippled through the spectators, leaving them in shock, disbelief, and awe.

"No! It can't be!" someone yelled, their voice filled with denial.

"Disperse now! If any of you attempt to harm my wife, I will not hesitate to take immediate action," Kyren declared with authority, his voice ringing through the crowd.

An uproar began among the women. It was undeniable now that the lady standing before them was indeed the grand duke's spouse. The statement made by him confirmed their deepest fears.

"No! Our Grand Duke can't be married! We won't allow it!" voices cried out in protest.

Confusion etched on Anna's face as she turned to Kyren.

"You're the Grand Duke?" she asked in disbelief, the sound of a fallen candlestick resonating with a loud clang.

Chaos erupted before she could obtain her answer. Screams and shouts filled the air, leaving Anna frightened by the sudden change in atmosphere.
