A renowned chef by the name of Roy used to run a modest but well-liked restaurant in another country. His restaurant may have been modest, but there was always space for all the customers who came to enjoy his delectable fare.

With unequalled culinary prowess and a steady stream of new clients, Chef Roy's restaurant thrived. Once he closed the restaurant in the evenings, he was happy with his life and enjoyed spending time with his pet dog, Kito, and cooking.

Chef Roy's life took a dramatic turn one fateful day when the Royals became aware of his mouthwatering cuisine. He was immediately given the prestigious job of Royal Chef after the royalty was impressed by his cooking. Roy couldn't pass up the chance, despite his attachment to his modest diner. He was appointed the Royal Chef as a result, taking care of the monarchy's culinary requirements.

But the newfound fame came at a price. The Royal Kitchen was the centre of Chef Roy's life; there, he slavishly prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner while also diligently cleaned up after each meal. He missed having the freedom he had in his little restaurant.

The king's daughter, Princess Romana, became interested in Chef Roy when he was living in the palace. She shared his passion for cooking and respected his skill in the kitchen. She also thought that food and the spirit were intertwined. They developed a close bond as they spent time together in the market and the Royal Garden.

Romana started to develop romantic feelings for Roy as she got to know the generous and gifted chef. The monarch, on the other hand, angrily objected to the thought of his daughter marrying a menial chef and insisted that she should wed a capable and affluent prince.

The king made the decision to host a lavish ball and invite many princes to judge their leadership potential and intelligence. Roy, posing as a royal, was covertly invited to the event by Romana, who had other ideas.

Romana carefully observed the princes at the ball and came to the conclusion that the majority of them were more focused on their own comfort than the wellbeing of their own countries. She finally spoke up after being discouraged by their test results, disclosing Roy's true name, and stating her wish to marry him.

The monarch was initially surprised, but was later profoundly moved by Roy's sincerity, cunning, and true love for his daughter. He agreed that wealth or inherited status were not the only criteria for true nobility. After the monarch finally gave his approval, Roy and Romana were happily wed.

While Chef Roy, now her husband, began his restaurant business, Princess Romana continued to proudly rule the realm. Together, they led a contented and joyful existence, demonstrating the importance of love, passion, and resourcefulness in creating a prince.
