In Royal Heels

Achievement complete: Mr. Iceberg talks

After showing my weakness to Mr. Iceberg at the library, I couldn't stop thinking about a way to re sharpen my reputation as an independent human being. That's right! I didn't ask to be helped by him... Stupid. It's funny though how I was planning to prank him, but in the end, the one who is laughed at is me.
To avoid such health difficulties, I made sure that I remember to take my medicine regularly (not that I forget anyways) and endure its unexpected side effects. The thing is, I've got one pill left and I really need more if I was planning to last till the end of my mission. I wonder if they sell these here...I think Rey would have an idea about the whereabouts of a pharmacy or something.

As I headed to the kitchen, I encountered Mr. Iceberg in one of the hallways and also.... Lord bitch...Don't tell me he is bullying Mr. Iceberg as usual, n-not that I care anyways.
I walked past them and unsurprisingly Lord Bitch whistled and said "now check this out, I won't mind if you be my king, m'lady". Instead of saying good morning or something he just goes ahead complementing my butt..wow..

I turned around to see Mr. Icebergs back is facing me, but he is tightening his grasp around the book he is holding. Is it only me, or the one and only Mr. Iceberg the emotionless got to be angry?!
Why didn't he get angry when he was teased..? Nah probably my imagination.

With a try-hard lady manner I replied, "it's called being queen..." And walked away.

Rey told me about a clinic in this castle, it can bring me any medicine I request with a prescription from Dr. Smith, who is the Royal doctor, or from any other doctor.
I tightly held my prescription as I nervously knocked on the clinic's door. An old man in his late 50s opened the door and was surprised.

"Lady M-Mira!" He stammered "do you w-want the sunscreen lotion y-you requested?".
Poor guy, Mira seemed to scare him when she doesn't get what she requests. "I-I'm sorry but I c-can't find it I'm tryin-" he said nervously before I interrupted him "it's ok..".

He looked grateful until he asked me for what I came here for. I showed him the prescription silently.
He read it and looked at me weirdly saying, "you want those pills...that regulate the nervous system..?" I nodded and he eyed me suspiciously. "Why? Did you injure your head or something?!"

Remembering why I ended up taking these pills is painful for me, so I muttered a yes... Which was kinda close to the truth.
He examined my forehead, "I see..." He said thoughtfully. "Come pick up your medicine by tommorow.."

"Thanks...Dr. Smith" I said before heading out of the clinic. He nodded his head in a delightful manner in return.
"Lunch is going to be anytime soon, I think I should prepare...." I whispered to myself as I walked through the hallway. But then I bumped into a muscular chest which was really painful.
"Hey kitten" lord bitch grinned.

"And what do you want from me?" I said with annoyance evident in my tone as I rubbed my injured nose.
"Remember back then, when I complimented you?" He said in a soft voice. I'm not sure that saying that I have a fine ass is a compliment to me but whatever... "Well little Prince Irwin didn't like it, and he opened his smart mouth..... Which I liked when it was shut." Wait wait wait.... Prince Irwin.... MR. ICEBERG ACTUALLY TALKED BACK!

I was throwing a party in the inside of my head. "Yea and what is the problem with that?" I said while suppressing a million dollar smile "it is only normal for him to talk back to what he doesn't like."
"You agree? As I suspected.... You are the one behind this development of his speech." He said with a grim frown as he slowly approached me. "If he kept talking back like that, it will ruin my chance of me being the heir to the throne."

"Ha! So you admit that he is actually more fit to be king!" I said in a "gotcha!" tone.
"Look here kitten, if you were able to cause this, then you are also able to reverse it" he replied "make him return to his old, obeying, goody-two-shoes self, and I might even reward you with anything you would like. Perhaps, a reward can be....being my queen?"

Now that is playing dirty. "Look here mister, I don't care about being queen or whatever!" I said in an angry tone. "This is a country, and it requires responsibility that you lack! You should work hard to prove this responsibility!". He looked at me in a shocked manner. Oops, I bet a lady like Mira doesn't often burst out like that.
After recovering from his shock, he grinned evilly. "Fine, I am gonna work hard.... On making this waste of a prince shut up, if you are not willing to cooperate". He started walking away.

"And I'm gonna make sure that you, kitten, are gonna pay for this." He said with a threatening tone.
I know that Lord Bitch is not suitable for the throne, he wants money and fame. I won't work with such a person, meanwhile I believe in Prince Irwi- WAIT WHAT AM I S-SAYING.

N-no! Prince Irwin, I m-mean, Mr. Iceberg is a jerk, I d-don't believe in him or anything like th-that. I-I didn't defend Mr. Iceberg, I j-just tho-thought that Lord Bitch was wrong! I looked at a nearby mirror to slap my blushing cheeks.
The thing is... Mr. Iceberg actually talked back for the first time....AND TO DEFEND ME? Wh-what does that mean? Why d-did he stand up for m-me?! My cheeks again started exploding. Wahhhhh!

While I was cooling my face down in the cold bedsheets of my room, I began drifting into deep thoughts.
I kind of understand Lord Bitch's fear. Mr. Iceberg is extremely impressive when he talks, which promotes the idea of him being the heir in people minds. So when he was silent, it was an advantage for Lord Bitch. Well too bad for him.

It's funny though how he said I was the reason Mr. Iceberg started talking, I didn't do anything....which makes it untrue. "Well, I guess I would like to see Mr. Iceberg interact once in his lifetime," I said to myself as I looked at a clock.

HOLY SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT LUNCH!
I quickly jumped from bed before running out of the room...
