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 soft knock on the door early in the morning startled Elis, who was in the midst of serving Calis's medicine. Setting down the tray, she approached the entrance, curious to see who was seeking entry.

"Who is it?" she asked, her voice echoing through the wooden, pristine white door.

"It's me, Prince Kiev," came the reply from the other side.

Elis paused for a moment, processing.

"Please wait a moment. Her Highness Princess Callis is getting ready," she informed him.

"Noted," Kiev responded patiently.

Elis made her way to the dressing room, where Jessy was assisting the Mederian Princess in combing her long, silken white hair. Callis had woken up early, feeling refreshed after a restful night's sleep, thanks to the medicine she had taken. She had recovered from her fever and the skin of the injured area has improved.

"Your Highness, His Highness Prince Kiev is outside," Elis reported to the princess.
