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

Rafe had arrived earlier at the treatment room before Noah and was delighted to find his patient already awake. Ayden swiftly provided him with the latest updates on Clara's condition and properly introduced him to Clara.

"You're incredibly strong, Dame Verns. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't have awakened yet," Rafe commended, admiration evident in his voice.

"I am a knightess. I am accustomed to injuries, and I should be able to endure this," Clara replied.

The healer smiled warmly at her response.

"I know... but for now, take it easy. Don't push yourself too hard. You need plenty of rest. I assure you that you are in good hands now. You are an important person to our lady, and we will not take your treatment lightly," he reassured her.

"Thank you, Mr. Amares," Clara expressed her gratitude, to which Rafe nodded in acknowledgement.

"You're welcome," he replied sincerely.
