She has so many admirer that always give flowers and gifts. Many women are envying her beauty. Since she is living near the forest only the mighty man can go there until 6pm., for they all know that the forest is a dangerous place when cover twilight starts. They believes that the forest is enchanted, it belongs to the fays and supernatural creatures. Other men who visited Mary once won't came back anymore because some say that after visiting Mary's house they became mute, blind and others got some serious accidents. They didn't know the reason behind those accidents. Then one day there's a folk healer told one of Mary's admirer who got healed and being paralized for 1 year. He said that the Fay who bewitch all the men going to Mary or start courting will suffer from any sickness and accident that can't be explained, it was found out later that it is all caused by the Fay who is inloved with Mary for a long time. The fay become angry every time men came in Mary's house and start to court her. The fay is always jealous everytime men in the province is praising and admiring Mary's beauty the reason also why Mary is still single when she turned 25.

One day when Mary is out of the forest to gather some woods, she didn't know that the fay who is inlove with her is following her every step. Until she noticed that the woods she is taking is turning into a beautiful Palace, she's already scared that some of the area turns into gold. Then magically appeared a handsome man in front of her, later on hold her cold hand and introduced himself, I'm Morgan, he said nothing to be worry and scared. I'm the prince of this Palace come with me, I want you to meet my parents. True to his words Mary go with Morgan (the fay). He introduces Mary to his mother Margareth (Queen of fay's) she is the most beautiful woman that Mary encountered in her entire life, looks like a young lady she wouldn't thought that the Queen of fay's is young, beautiful as her and his father Mario (King of fay's) is so handsome that she thought they were Prince Morgan's siblings only. The Queen and King are happy that finally his son introduced a lovely lady for the first time. Mary was shocked upon introducing her to the Queen and King as their new member of the family in the near future, she isn't prepared yet. She is questioning Morgan why she is introduced as their new member of the family everything is so fast. Although the fay's are great to her she even treated well and gave all she want but she don't want to stay in the Palace. She wanted to go in their home together with her family. Back then her status their is not good unlike the fay's comfortable living but, she is happy with her family. So she said to the fay's that she wanted to return in their home ASAP.

Prince Morgan became angry to what Mary told that she want to go back in their home immediately, he doesn't want Mary to go,but Mary always cry, sad and sick as the days passed by. Then the fay's decided to let Mary back in her family in one condition said the fay's. We will let you go home in one day only if you put this red ruby and gold leaf ring and Marry our son Morgan. Then the ring of Prince Morgan is out from its box.

It is protected and hidden in a secret passage. The reason why it is keep for a longtime because fairy rings are naturally occurring rings of mushrooms that are said to be locations where faries congregate. Royalty Fay's rings are specially made, it is cause of elves and faries dancing around in a circle at night. That any human who stumbles upon these festivities events or enters the making of fairies rings, they will force to dance until they are driven insane, die or pass out from exhaustion.

If Mary put the ring on her ring finger meaning that she'd already agreed to marry Prince Morgan.

Marry decided to put it in her ring finger without hesitation in her mind she will put it in her finger so that she can go home already, she missed her family so much, she is worried to what happened to her parents since she is gone for many days.

In Mary's home she saw a medicine man who is busy chanting some unfamiliar words and together with her parents do some rituals of lightnings black, red and white candles and put it in the basin with water. When the medicine man notice her, he was shocked and surprised that she is wearing the beautiful ring of fay. The medicine man said to Mary's parents I'm sorry it's too late your daughter is already married to the fay, I can't go on with the ritual for she is already owned by one of the powerful supernatural creature. Mary's parents cry all the time for they know that Mary is just going to bid her goodbye to them.

Then other day the fay's together with Mary appear in the house of Mary's parents they assure and promised that they well take good care of Mary.

Since then they didn't know what happened to Mary after a day of visiting her parents. All they know is Mary is now happy in the Palace of fay where she is living.
