Princess Jaie, a beautiful but pouty twelve-year-old with striking green eyes and a crown perched atop her cloud of curls, sits with her arms crossed and a stubborn frown. Around her, courtiers and noblemen eye a steaming dish in the center of the table—a pizza, piled high with meats and vegetables. The aroma fills the room, but she refuses to even look at it.
Each nobleman presents a pizza laden with toppings: spicy pepperoni, savory meatballs, crumbled sausage, tender onions, and earthy mushrooms. With every presentation, Princess Jaie shakes her head and pushes the plate away. "No, thank you. I simply don't want to try it," she says, her eyes set with determination.
The kitchen staff sighs, exhausted from baking endless varieties. Even the queen’s gentle coaxing falls on deaf ears. The king rubs his temples, exasperated, while the royal chef wrings his apron nervously. "Why won’t you just taste it, dear?" the queen pleads, but Princess Jaie remains unmoved.
The jester’s act is mesmerizing—he juggles pineapples with dazzling speed, their sweet scent drifting on the breeze. Children giggle and clap, enchanted by his antics. Princess Jaie, drawn by the laughter, peeks from a balcony, her curiosity piqued for the first time in days.
He stops before Princess Jaie, offering a slice with a flourish. "Your Highness, would you dare to taste something as adventurous and sweet as you are?" The scent is irresistible. Hesitantly, Princess Jaie takes a bite, her eyes widening in surprise. "This is... delicious! May I have more, please?"

Before long, the princess stands before her father, cheeks flushed with excitement. "Father, pizza should be the official food of the kingdom! No feast is complete without it," she declares. The king raises his goblet in agreement, and the entire court toasts to the new royal tradition.
Princess Jaie sits happily at the feast, a slice piled high with her favorite toppings in hand. Her crown gleams beneath the moonlight as she takes another joyous bite. Princesses love pizza, too.
