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

"Deliver this letter to Jessy immediately and request her to come to the palace along with my escorts," Kiev commanded Armel, handing him a folded letter. "The royal knights will accompany you and accommodate you with a carriage."

The young teenager bowed in deference, replying, "Yes, Your Highness."

Soon after, the royal knights requested by Kiev arrived, and they followed Armel back to the inn.

Kiev let out a deep breath, feeling a temporary sense of relief. He had managed to buy time to search for a way to regain his magic abilities before the next duel. Healing his injured sister, Princess Callis, was of utmost importance, so he needed to regain that speciality.

Respecting his sister's need for rest, Kiev decided not to disturb her and instead took a walk in the palace courtyard, revelling in the scenic views and fresh air. It was a moment for him to clear his mind.
