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

Riding the warhorse Maximillian, Anna managed a daring escape. Their figures quickly diminished from sight as they turned at the mansion's main building, heading for the main gate.

Maximillian was the fastest and most potent steed among the rest, so it was no surprise that the princess could outrun her pursuer so swiftly.

Eric arrived just in time before Kiev could set out. The horse had been equipped, and Ramios was secured to the saddle with a rope.

"Let me come with you! Maximillian is incredibly agile! You won't be able to catch up on your own!" he pleaded.

"Stand aside, Sir Navin! I don't have time for this! She's getting away!" The Mederian Prince raised his voice, impatient to give chase.

"But you don't know the area like I do! I could help you track her down in time!" the concerned second-in-command knight urged.
