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

As the old man sat at a café with his three sons, engrossed in their conversation over cups of coffee, a commotion erupted nearby. The sound of thundering hooves and panicked screams drew the old man's attention.

His eyes widened as he witnessed a wild horse charging towards a crowded area, heading straight for a stall. Without a moment's hesitation, he sprang to his feet, his hand tightly gripping his walking stick.

"Quick! We need to help them!" he urgently called out to his sons.

The three men, well aware of their father's unwavering courage, immediately understood the gravity of the situation. They swiftly rose from their seats, ready to join their father in aiding those in danger.

Despite his age, with white hair adorning his head and a walking stick as his companion, the old man exhibited an indomitable spirit.

"Don't wait for me. Move quickly!" he urged his sons to act fast.
