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

Kiev sat by Elis's side, offering supportive words.

"That's it... Breathe... Breathe," he told her while gently patting her back. Finally regaining her breath, Elis lay sideways on the floor, coughing hard after the Mederian Prince had blown air into her mouth multiple times.

Relief washed over Eva as she witnessed Elis starting to breathe again. She rubbed her own chest, sharing in the alleviation of the incident. Her anxious maid, who stood beside her, also let go of her worries, and the onlookers breathed sighs of relief as well.

"Lift her upper body and straighten her posture so she can take in more air," ordered Rafe to the Mederian Prince.

Kiev followed the healer's instructions without hesitation, carefully supporting Elis's shoulders and gently raising her upright. He positioned himself behind her, providing support for her weakened body.
