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 usually serene house became merrier as the guests gathered for dinner.

"Mmm, this is so delicious!" Callis exclaimed, relishing every bite of the buttery, creamy chicken.

Enjoying it as much as she did, Rafe couldn't help but eat a little more.

Beaming proudly, Eva answered, "I'm glad you guys like it. I made it myself. I can give you the recipe if you want."

A soft laugh escaped the Mederian Princess's lips as she glanced at her brother, who sat nearby. Knowing his sister's knack for culinary disasters, Kiev couldn't help but find the situation amusing.

However, he wisely chose to keep quiet, sipping his drink while quietly observing. After all, Callis would take it to heart and sulk if he dared to mention her unique talent for turning any cooking endeavour into a catastrophe.

"Thanks, mother. I'd love to get the recipe later," the Mederian Princess replied, careful not to offend her mother-in-law.
