In Royal Heels

Achievement complete: Prince Irwin

There is no going back now....
I entered the limousine that was going to drive Mr. Iceberg and I to the orphanages, and I saw the castle shrink in distance as the car began moving. What pisses me off is how the king insisted that I should go without a valid reason.

*yesterday*
"B-but your majesty...." I said trying to reject for the hundredth time now. "Are you going to come up with another excuse? What is it now?" He replied.
He is right, I was going to come up with an excuse but he just answers every excuse successfully that it makes me feel like an idiot. I see from where Mr. Iceberg's smart mouth genes are popping from.

"You are going to accompany Prince Irwin tomorrow to the orphanages, case closed" he finally said before leaving the room.
I looked annoyingly at the so called "Prince Irwin", and that was his reply to my glare: "even though I would do anything just to avoid going anywhere with you, I can't disobey father."

As he walked away silently, I felt my ego being stepped on by every step he took. Motherfucker.
Oh well....Guess I have no choice then.

At least I could get out from the castle for a bit, the kingdom itself is breathtaking.
From the car window, I can see the clear blue sky, the overwhelmingly tall palm trees, the smell of the glittery sea, and the footprints that decorated the sand... It's been a while since I went to a place like this.

I slowly slept by the window, the beautiful scenery seemed to rob my sleeping difficulties. Only the sun seemed to annoy me, but it's okay... I can't move my heavy head now anyways.
I felt cold but smooth hands shift my head away from the sun, I was finally able to fall into deep sleep thanks to that person....

*20 minutes later*
"Hey, wake up, we arrived..." I heard as I began opening my eyes slowly.
I stretched before realizing that Mr. Iceberg is beside me saying, "finally you woke up, you are such a heavy sleeper... Almost like how a cow sleeps..." He said in a normal tone which annoyed me more than his words, "sorry if I offended you, accidental offense occurs often" so I decided to hit him with my stretching hands and I call it an accidental slap.

But of course, he grabbed my hands before it can even land on him. His hand is like the cold but soft hand I felt earlier when I was asleep. Could it be....
I looked around to find that only me and him were in the limousine... With the driver in the front seat. H-HE IS THE O-ONE WHO MOVED MY HEAD! I started blushing as I comprehended what happened.

"Th-thank -um..." I tried to be grateful but I was too flustered to complete.
"If you want to thank me then you're welcome" he said as I began thinking of him as a true gentleman. "After all, the kids at the orphanage wouldn't fancy the dead fish personality that you had earlier in the morning, so I let you have some uninterrupted sleep..." he said, absolutely destroying my judgement about him.

We stepped out of the car, greeted by kind ladies who led us in a truly amazing and fascinating building. It is an extremely huge orphanage.
After a while, the ladies left us to deal with some kids, and Mr. Iceberg was approaching a room from which I can hear children's laughter from from. So I followed him.

I yawned heavily on the way to the room, then Mr. Iceberg looked at me and said ,"do not push yourself too hard, you can still get more sleep back at the limo if you want"
I smiled lightly as I admired his concern about me, so I shook my head and said in the most enthusiastic tone ever,"come on! The kids are waaaaaiting!"

His unchanging plain glare met my eyes and then he said, "before we go, what happens in the orphanage... Stays in the orphanage..."
I nodded in agreement and he completed walking but what bothers me is.....What does he mean by that?

When we entered the room, all the kids screamed "THE EVIL PRINCE IS BACK!" Then I heard something I never thought I would hear in a million years. Mr. Iceberg's laughter....
I glared at his smile, his childish tone, his warm, friendly eyes.... I almost cried at the scenery. I think he doesn't deserve to be called Mr. Iceberg anymore....

He began holding two kids while pretending to be eating them. "Oh no! The evil Prince starting to eat us!!" One of the kids shouted playfully. The kids started throwing toy balls on him and he threw some back.
"You remember our names?!" Asked a cute girl. "Yea! Come on gather around, I know everyone" he answered in an unfamiliar tone and vocabulary, and he wasn't lying! He knew every single name!

Just then I felt a pull from my t-shirt.. "Are you the princess?" Said a tiny girl. "I know who she is! She is the princess that will save the Evil Prince from darkness!" Answered a boy. Wow, he just saw me and got an idea for a plot....such rapid imagination!
Mr. Ice- no, Irwin looked at me as if telling me to play along. "Er- Yes! I know magic! And I am gonna return the Prince back to normal!" I said as I made weird movements with my fingers and all the kids gaped in wonder.

"We are the evil brothers! And we are going to ban your magic!" Cute little twins, who were boys, began pushing me toward a nearby sofa. The creative boy from earlier came in like a director and said,"Now the good princess is in trouble! But the fairies come to help!"
Little girls came up to me and sprinkled pink glitter all over me. "You should wait till your wound heals!" they said.

"Too bad, the evil Prince arrived!" The director boy said. "Run fairies!" Said one of the fairies before running away quickly.
I'm laying on the couch, pretending to be scared "Do not hurt me please!" I said and Irwin smirked "too bad! I have got a sword that will kill you!" He held up a wooden sword.

"Oh no! The princess is without magic and she is in trouble! But still, the only solution is....?" The director boy said as he faced the other children who replied in unison,"TRUE LOOOOOVE!"
Hearing the boy, Irwin suddenly kneeled on one leg, his evil smirk faded and a gentle, soft one replaced it, "you're extremely amazing, beyond my highest expectations, you are nice and cute if not strong and brave...." He said with his scattered blonde hair clumsily covering his blue eyes, "Will you marry me?"

He is an amazing actor, I swear with this billion dollar face that he's got and that acting skill that is worth 10 Oscar awards.... I never expected that.... I NEVER EXPECTED ANY OF WHAT HAPPENED TODAY!
I replied with a "yes" before the children altogether said "AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!"

The rest of the day and the visits were amazing, I got to see Prince Irwin... Not Mr. Iceberg. I got to meet children whose talents and abilities will get them somewhere in life.
I got to see hope in life......after I lost it a long time ago...
