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

"Now, I know you three must want to have some uninterrupted time together, so let the rest of us enjoy ourselves in the adjacent chamber," Queen Emelda said understandingly, acknowledging the close friendship shared by Meredith, Anna, and Sylvia.

A delightful array of gifts had amassed in the corner of the chamber, offerings from the queen and the attending ladies to commemorate the special occasion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Meredith expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"Take a break for now and join us later. It can be quite overwhelming to be the centre of attention throughout the entire event," the queen kindly suggested.

Meredith's face lit up with a broad smile, her joy evident despite the overwhelming need to entertain the guests as the main focus of the ceremony. The weight of the evening couldn't overshadow the sheer happiness she felt in her heart on this momentous occasion.
