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

Noah paced back and forth in front of the closed treatment room, his mind filled with concern.

After the intense discussion with the knights last night in the main lounge of the knights' quarters, he returned to the treatment room to assess the situation.

However, to his dismay, neither the healer, the healer's assistant, nor the maid were out. The door remained firmly shut until morning, adding to his growing unease.

The treatment room door finally creaked open as the sun ascended in the sky, casting its warm glow on the surroundings.

Noah, who had been anxiously seated on a nearby bench, swiftly rose to his feet. Rafe emerged from the room, his eyes shadowed by dark circles. Without hesitation, the knight hurriedly approached him.

"How is she?" he asked, his voice tinged with anxiety and worry.

Rafe's expression softened as he met Noah's gaze.
