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 carriage engraved with the Grey family's emblem continued its journey, the sound of the rolling tires creating a rhythmic backdrop for the three women inside.

Growing restless and anxious, Meredith let out another sigh, the weight of the situation pressing upon her.

"Let's just hope they're still there and haven't yet returned to the duchy," she voiced concern, her gaze turning to Sylvia, her friend.

Sensing the tension in the air, Rania tried to comfort them.

"I'm sure they're still there, my lady. It takes time to make preparations for a long journey. So they might haven't departed yet," she offered a glimmer of hope in her words.

Meredith's frustration overflowed, and she directed her glare at Sylvia, her anger palpable.

"I swear, if they did leave, I'm going to smack your head and give you a good beating for three days straight!" she scolded, her voice laced with both irritation and concern.
