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

Elis hurried down to the parlour after searching through the main hall of the mansion, a worried look etched on her face. The sound of her footsteps echoed through the hallway.

From a distance, she spotted a figure at the far end of the corridor and quickened her pace as recognition dawned on her.

"Mr Foster!" she called out, causing Anryr to halt his steps. The steward bowed respectfully as she approached, making her hesitate.

"Mr Foster, please… no need for the gesture. I used to work under you," she said, feeling a flush of embarrassment at his formality.

A calm smile crept onto Anryr's face.

"Used to, Miss Canton. Now, you are His Highness Prince Kiev's woman, bestowed by His Majesty the King of Cassian. How could I not bow? We are of different levels, and it's important to maintain decorum."

"Well… I… umm… never mind," Elis stammered but pushed her thoughts aside as a more pressing matter took precedence.
