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

Intrigued, she asked, "Is there something else?"

"Yes. Actually, we would like to apologise to you for attacking, disrespecting, and injuring you during our first encounter. We already apologised to His Highness Prince Kiev when he collaborated with us on the beast hunting, but we never got to extend the same apology to you. So, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us. After all, you have married our healer and become a part of our group," Eric expressed earnestly.

The Knights of Gerhard stood up in unison, their expressions filled with remorse. They bowed to Callis as a gesture of their sincerity.

After raising their heads, Eli spoke up, "I would like to take this opportunity to personally apologise as well. I cursed you and acted violently towards you, which I shouldn't have done."
