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 knights and the Mederian Princess were prepared to rise and bow but were dismissed by a gesture from the king, who wished to dispense with formalities.

"I'm glad to see you're enjoying the banquet, Princess Callis," the king addressed the Mederian Princess warmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Please, call me Callis. I have chosen to leave behind my royal title and adopt my husband's surname and title," she explained graciously.

"Ah, I see… So it should be Mrs. Amares now," said the king with a smile.

"Callis will do. I am now one of your loyal subjects," she replied.

"I'm happy to hear that. How's the food? Is it to your liking? The duke and duchess had paid much attention to the meal. Though it might taste differently from your island's cuisine, they hope it will satisfy your palate," asked the king.

"Yes! They are absolutely delightful! I am truly having a splendid time, Your Majesty," Callis replied, her eyes gleaming with contentment.
