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 knight turned, surprised to see the healer there.

"Oh, Mr. Amares! You came," he said. "Good to see you!"

"You haven't answered me. What was that explosion about, and why does my wife look like that?" Rafe asked.

"Haa… that! Your wife was having a cooking lesson just now. Well… at first, she said she was going to turn the cooking station into a pressure cooker or something to expedite the cooking. But then she lost control of the magic, and the fire raged until it blew up," the knight explained.

"But I met with the chief of the royal guards, and he said it was just a malfunction in the cooking station. Why does it seem like he wasn't informed of the real cause?" Rafe probed further.

"Sir Navin and the others covered up for your wife. Seriously, Mr. Amares, you wouldn't want anyone else to know and see her like that, would you?" Alex added.
