## Synopsis

Middle Ages. In the region of Cália, the kingdoms of Montemor and Artena have lived in peace for a long time. Until some choices of their monarchs and their consequences directly interfere in the course of history. Afonso, crown prince of Montemor, is an honorable man, fair and who, from a young age, was prepared to one day take the throne. Just the opposite of his younger brother, the irresponsible and inconsequential Rodolfo, who only thinks of enjoying the stewardship of his life as a prince. The two are the grandsons of Queen Crisélia, who is sick and realizes - every day - the urgency of nominating a successor to her kingdom, which would naturally be Alfonso, the eldest.

Artena, the neighboring kingdom, is ruled by King Augusto, a wise and benevolent man, who has an ally in his daughter, Princess Catarina, his successor. But she, unlike her father, has ambitious plans for her kingdom, and will spare no effort to achieve her goals. Hoping that one day his daughter's attitudes will change, Augusto looks for a suitor who can rein in the reins of his ambition. And he finds one in Istvan, the Marquis of Córdona, the ideal man. Against his daughter's will, he schedules her engagement. Until the arrival of Constantino, the cunning Duke of Vicenza, in whom Catarina finds a strong ally.

Montemor is a prosperous kingdom, rich in iron ore, but lacking something essential for its subsistence: water. Artena, on the other hand, has this feature in abundance. A long-standing agreement between the two kingdoms ensures that the ore produced in Montemor is supplied to Artena in exchange for its water. Crisélia's death dangerously shakes the peace held between the two kingdoms. Afonso will soon become king, but his love for the plebeian Amália makes him relinquish the throne, handing the post to his unprepared brother, which makes relations with the neighboring kingdom even more delicate. And right now, Catarina has a great opportunity to put into practice her expansionist plans.

On the other hand, Pablo is part of the bodyguard squad of Antonia, Othón's biggest rival.

Antonia and Othón have known each other since they were young and do not miss a chance to hurt each other. Antonia takes advantage of the meeting between Maia and Pablo to deceive Maia by saying that Pablo is one of the most important horticulturists of the country ... a lie whose purpose is not to hurt Maia, who does not care if Pablo is from a rich social class or not, but Othón, who is heavily strict towards Maia. He wants her to be married to a wealthy man and would be actually more than destroyed if he knew that she loves a poor man.

But in addition, the love between Maia and Pablo is not only condemned by the entanglements that surround their encounter, but also by their former flames: Cindy and Federico.

With making things even worse for both Maia and Pablo, Maia turns out to be pregnant with Pablo's baby and decides to keep this a secret, by claiming that the baby is Federico's.

## Biography

Performing in stage shows such as 'Gypsy', Romo eventually ventured out into film and television where she would gain recognition making her film debut in 'La Casa del Pelícano' at the age of 17. Her first starring role in a telenovela was in 1978 in 'El ardiente secreto', an adaptation of Jane Eyre.

During her TV era, Romo would go on talk shows or variety shows of the time and sing. During this time, Chucho Ferrer, a popular producer at the time, saw the potential in Romo and offered to produce a record. An ambitious 20-year-old Romo took on this adventure and recorded her debut record 'También Yo' (also released as 'Te pareces tanto a mí' in 1985) released by CBS Records. All of these songs were written by singer-songwriter Lolita De La Colina. The album largely flopped due to the kind of material Romo was singing (mature balladry) and the public wasn't ready to take on this from such a young singer. Romo went on to do more film and TV, again garnering a hit on television with her telenovela 'Déjame vivir' in 1982.

After six years away from television, Romo made her return to the small screen in the 1995 hit "Si Dios me quita la vida" alongside César Évora and Omar Fierro. The telenovela was followed by the variety show 'Hoy con Daniela' in 1996. The show was largely panned by critics and was cancelled after two seasons due to poor ratings. In 2001, however, she hosted Univision's short-lived primetime game show A Millón. That same year, she also won her first roles as a villain in 'El manantial', and was then seen in 'Las vias del amor' a year later.

In 2005, Romo released 'Es la Nostalgia', a collection of acoustic ballads produced by Adrian Posse and that same year, she garnered much praise for her role as the evil Doña Juana in the period telenovela 'Alborada'. In 2006, Romo produced the musical 'Cabaret' in Mexico and in 2009 was the star in 'Victor/Victoria' on stage.

She starred the telenovelas Sortilegio (2009) and Triunfo del amor (2010) where she played antagonist Bernarda Montejo de Iturbide.
