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 ambience grew darker as night approached, and the once-bustling mansion turned quieter as time passed.

In the courtyard of the knights' quarters, Damon, Eli and Luke gathered, engaging themselves in light conversations and enjoying drinks.

Eric, Garin, and Noah were noticeably absent. While the second-in-command knight took the initiative to check on Anna, the third-in-command knight retired to bed early.

As for Noah, the recluse knight, he returned from the plaza but deliberately isolated himself from the company of others. His decision to abstain from joining them for dinner was influenced by the altercation he had with Eric in the garden earlier that afternoon.

As their discussions waned, the knights noticed the figure of Callis passing by the cloister. The Mederian Princess appeared hesitant at first but upon spotting the knights, she approached them with a warm smile.
