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

Elis walked down the path, her hands carefully clutching the parcels wrapped in protective coverings. Within them lay the exquisite custom-made dresses that Callis had booked. The carriage awaited a short distance away, in a designated parking bay, and Elis was walking towards it.

Having instructed the carriage driver to remain by the carriage, Elis chose to venture alone to the boutique. Unfamiliar with him, she felt more at ease without his presence by her side.

Elis's appearance had transformed. No longer dressed in a maid's outfit, she donned a new tailored dress, specially crafted as Callis had requested.

Madam Carson and her skilled workers had insisted that she try on the dress during the fitting. Its perfect fit had impressed them so much that they persuaded her to wear it for the rest of the day. Not wanting to prolong the visit or engage in a debate, Elis graciously acquiesced.
