 It is because of this that the Princess, though she was not interested in his proposal, did not refuse him outright.Instead she set for him seven impossible tasks for him to fulfil, but Sultan Mahmud was either too proud or too blind to realize that the tasks were her way of turning him down, and when he attempted to fulfil them Malacca fell into ruin.The musical instead focuses on the love story between the mortal characters of the Princess and Tuah.
