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

"What is it, Charles?" King Kyden inquired as the chamberlain entered his private library, having been granted permission to do so.

Charles's countenance was marked with concern as he hurriedly approached the king and the grand duke, bowing respectfully.

"I beg your pardon for interrupting your private moment with His Highness, but there is an urgent matter that demands your immediate attention," the chamberlain relayed cautiously.

"And what might that be?" the king inquired, sensing the urgency in Charles's demeanour.

The chamberlain hesitated for a moment, his anxiety palpable.

"Lord James and the nobles have gathered at the throne hall, demanding an immediate audience with you. It pertains to a matter concerning the wife of His Highness," the chamberlain reported, his voice filled with urgency.

"What about my wife?" Kyren interjected, unable to contain his curiosity upon hearing that the topic was related to him.
