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

"I'm truly sorry, Your Majesty! It was an unintentional oversight. Everything happened so fast!" the governess pleaded, kneeling to the ground, seeking forgiveness.

Laura, desperately trying to mitigate the situation, tugged at King Kyden's cloak and looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"Please don't be angry, Father! Lilith only wanted to get closer to the puppy."

The king let out a weary sigh, his frustration tempered by his love for his daughters.

"Did you two secretly escape from your governess and servants again?" asked the king, looking at his girls alternately.

Both Lilith and Laura nodded hesitantly, acknowledging their naughty behaviour. Armel was taken aback by the question, realising that this wasn't the first time such an incident had occurred.

"Now you have erred twice! Lilith and Laura, there will be no excuse for your punishment!" declared the king.

"But I didn't steal anything!" protested Laura.
