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 steward and servants of Gerhard's mansion were taken aback by the grand duke's and his entourage's unexpected return in the middle of the night. The anticipation had been that the couple would come back the following morning, considering the lateness of the hour.

However, an even more astonishing sight awaited them as Kyren emerged, cradling crying Anna in his arms, followed closely by Rosalie. Anryr, the steward, observed the unfolding scene with a mix of curiosity and concern.

His inquisitive nature drove him to seek answers, to understand the cause of the distress that had befallen the grand duke and the princess. However, as he caught sight of the grand duke's darkened expression, he realised that it was not the appropriate time to satisfy his curiosity.

Recognising the gravity of the situation and the need to prioritise the well-being of his lord and lady, Anryr swiftly set aside his own desires and approached the grand duke with purpose.
