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

Escorted by the attentive attendants, Anna was led to a private dining room located within the queen's quarters.

As the sliding door gracefully glided open, she stepped into a room adorned with elegance. The room exuded an air of refined sophistication, with bright light casting a warm morning glow on the surroundings from the opened glass window. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries, and the room boasted an array of decorations.

Vases filled with an assortment of fresh flowers stood at various corners of the room. Their vibrant colours and intoxicating scents filled the air, creating a sensory feast of enchantment and splendour.

"Please be seated, my lady. Her Majesty, the Queen, and her ladies-in-waiting shall be joining you shortly," one of the female attendants informed Anna gently.
