time for another quick sum up. as always, check this for errors.
Either MNB or LDY will shortly kill MNA as the only feasible action (the method irrelevant). All three are aware of this. Neither MNB or LDY will die shortly. MNB & LDY are married, and MNA knows LDY. Love may be involved, but sex is not. The killer will definitely benefit from MNA's death, as well may the killer's spouse. Someone's life may be saved by MNA being killed. MNA will die in the next hour, possibly in the next few minutes.
This situation is from a fictional situation that most would definitely recognize. The situation is over 1000 years old, and is not from a film or fictional work of art. The situation takes place outside, on land. All three persons are abnormal human beings which look different from normal people. Religion is peripherally involved but of no importance to solving the puzzle.

Do all three know each other?
There may be more clues than required here, but for the sake of clarity and fair sport:
That is correct, although sex MAYBE involved (but is not part of the situation).
Also, the situation first occurred over 1000 years ago, but is re-enacted daily.
The time frame in which the death will occur is possibly correct, but may vary.
"Abnormal" must be assumed to mean its literal meaning, ie "not normal". Not anything (necessarily) sinister.

Can't remember if this has been asked:
Is the scenario religious in nature?
Does anyone believe that it really happened?
Regarding the way that these people are different:
Are they dressed differently from normal people?
Is their physical appearance different to normal people?
Is jealousy involved?
Has infidelity occurred?
Has infidelity been assume even if it has not occurred?
Is there one specific difference between the people and normal human beings?
Is the difference between the characters and normal human beings significant?
Is the difference between the characters and normal human beings only that they are fictional?
Is a play on words involved in this puzzle?
You have indicated that this scenario is from a fictional event and the characters have recognizable names or titles.
Are the characters' names significant?
Are the characters' titles significant?
You have indicated that the event is at least 1000 years old but is re-enacted daily.
Does that mean that the specific event is re-enacted daily in a role-playing type format?
Does that mean that there are daily MNAs being killed by LDYs and/or MNBs in the same way the original MNA was killed by the original LDY and/or MNB?

Does anyone believe that it really happened? YES (it does happen all the time, and people see it every day).
Regarding the way that these people are different:
Are they dressed differently from normal people? everyone dresses differently to others. it would be important to know HOW they are dressed.
Is their physical appearance different to normal people? YES - once again, the nature of the difference is relevant.
