If you bump into her, do not hesitate to converse with her, she mihgt be looking for comrades, or just for some company. If you wish, come in your wedding dress. and if you don't have one borrow one, unless, you think it is too hot for dressing up!

Maria is a married woman who decides to take fate in her hands. She occupies the outside space of the Medieval Castle of Lemesos in order to claim what was promised to her...to live "happily ever after"!!
