In the kingdom of Jakaya, Princess Abeni was celebrated as a legendary warrior, renowned for her unmatched strength and valor on the battlefield. Despite her heroic deeds and royal status, the villagers and suitors could only see her as a formidable warrior rather than a woman deserving of love. Her towering presence and warrior's armor made her appear more like a man to them, causing many to reject the idea of marrying her.

Men of high status who visited the kingdom were initially intrigued but quickly dismissed any romantic interest upon meeting her, unable to see past her imposing figure. Even women shied away from her, intimidated by her strength and stature. Despite the cold reception from those around her, Abeni remained hopeful. She yearned for a connection that transcended her role as a warrior and princess—a true companionship where she would be valued for who she truly was.
