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

Upon meeting the knight and Emily in the garden, Noah and Eric found themselves entangled in a fierce altercation. The second-in-command knight adamantly disagreed with his subordinate's intention to marry the woman.

Despite Noah's passionate pleas and Emily's persuasive words, Eric remained resolute in his decision.

"You can't do this, Sir Navin! I have obtained her consent, which grants me the right to marry her! We love each other deeply!" Noah exclaimed in anger.

"Oh, yes, I can! As the representative of His Highness, the Grand Duke, I now have the decision regarding the Gerhard household resting in my hands. As our lady's person, Miss Emily Baker is under the protection and governance of His Highness. Therefore, she falls under my responsibility, and I serve as her guardian in the absence of His Highness. I forbid her from marrying you because I know the kind of person you are!" Eric stated firmly.
