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

Eric strode into the palace's main hall of the knights' quarters, his presence catching the attention of Alex and Luke, who were engaged in conversation. As they caught sight of their esteemed second-in-command, both knights promptly rose from their seats, bowing respectfully.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on duty?" Eric inquired as he saw them.

"Sir Brooks and Sir Skyler requested to switch shifts with us as they have evening commitments," Luke explained.

Curiosity sparked within the knight as he sought more information.

"Sir Skyler mentioned some errands, but Sir Brooks hasn't disclosed his intentions. Lately, he tends to favour morning shifts, as he often returns to the mansion and spends his time there when off duty," Alex clarified.

Eric's eyebrow arched with intrigue.

"He returns to the mansion? For what purpose?"
