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

Jessy stood in the main hall, her gaze lifted as she admired an image that had caught her attention. The servants were busily rehanging the portraits of the Grand Duke, which had been taken down some time ago.

The nanny had just come down from Kiev's chamber after assisting Elis, who had once again had her menstrual blood leaked through her dress. The Mederian Prince had asked for her help when Elis stubbornly resisted his attempts to assist, insisting that such matters were for women to handle.

After enjoying a light brunch in the kitchen, Jessy made her way back to Anna's chamber. As she passed through the main hall, her eyes landed on the portrait of Kyren, causing her to stop in her tracks.

Jessy's aged eyes lingered on the image, her mind drifting. A profound sense of familiarity washed over her as she gazed deeply at the Grand Duke's portrait.

"Handsome, isn't he?" Anryr said proudly, approaching from behind and breaking her reverie.
