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…

Armel, who sat alongside the carriage driver, hurriedly descended and moved to open the door. The escorts dismounted from their horses, weary from the long and exhausting journey back from Rivendelle to Gantz.

Elis obediently stepped out as ordered as the door swung open, promptly positioning herself to the side. Her hands rested firmly on her stomach, and she slightly lowered her back forward as a sign of respect for the Mederian royal siblings, who alighted from the carriage followed by Rafe.

"You must all be tired from the journey. Take some time to rest," Kiev addressed his escorts, who gratefully bowed in respect to the Mederian Prince before moving forward to lead the horses to the stable.

Turning his attention to the silent Elis, who bowed to him without meeting his gaze, the Mederian Prince called in a soft voice.
