In Royal Heels

Achievement complete: evil planning

Next day I woke up and hurried to the kitchen. Just like everyday, but this time is different! Due to yesterday's vow to teach Mr. Iceberg a lesson, I'm gonna make his breakfast.... Let's say...a little bit extraordinary.

I tried to come up with a plan with Rey, but still ".... And now the only problem is his unexpected pattern of going to Royal meals, we never know when he would show up." I explained in an thoughtful voice to Rey, who by the way seems out of it today. "Hmm, indeed a problem.." She replied. Also, Uncle Jim is no different either. He isn't so chirpy as usual, like cmon he didn't even tease me about anything today. That's when I know shit is serious.
First a gloomy Emily now a depressed Rey?! Am I missing the international sadness day here? "Um... You ok?" I asked.

"Its ok, It's just.... It's mom's birthday and..." She replied shaky voice. Thinking about it, she never mentioned her mom. "She's not here, and I miss her so much." But I was told that she had a mother, she is not dead... I guess?
"Is your mom....?" I whispered questionably.
"N-no! Maybe, I don't know.." She stuttered and began wiping her eyes. When I noticed that she is gonna cry any minute now, I dragged her to the storage room... The place where we sneakily ate ice cream. We are so badass y'know?

She would shake her head whenever I asked her about the thing that's bugging her, I know that if she will speak about it she will cry even more but still. "There's nothing wrong in crying, nothing wrong in weakness at all" I told her reassuringly even though I believe in the exact opposite. But this sentence weirdly seems to calm people down, so why not give it a shot?
"M-my mom left us when she got a better opportunity at work, but she had to travel to grasp that one in a lifetime chance," she blurted out as tears began covering her face "we needed money really bad back then, so she did travel and she was supposed to come back with more money to support us many years ago.."

"It's been ....6 years..." She said finally before crying her eyes out. "What if she gave up and forgot all about us?"
I had nothing to say but this, "are you stupid?" She looked at me with surprise."wasn't she your mother for a long time?! You think she would easily give up all of those years where she loved and took care of you?" I added while looking at her in the eye. "Simply said, she didn't run away..." I continued "She is finishing what she started, which is taking care of her family."
"A mother won't easily give up on her family, trust me I know that.." I looked down sadly as I muttered the last part. No, never gonna show any weakness. "A family built on the roots of trust is the best thing ever, you are lucky girl!" I said with the biggest smile I can use to cover the pain in my chest I said these words.

She stood up and smiled lightly, before hugging me tightly "thank you thank you thank you I needed to hear these words for a long time, so I can be sure that I'm not the only one thinking that way!" She murmered. As soon as I was let loose, I didn't enjoy my freedom for a long time because I felt an equally tight hug from behind accompanied by lifting.
"Look who's all mature here, now!" I hear uncle Jim saying. I bet he was hearing us all the time, "erm, ugh.. Air..gh" is what I managed to say while I was being choked to death from uncle Jim. But that's ok, hearing Rey laugh for the first time today made me better...... Ok who am I kidding I seriously can't breath.

He finally dropped me and I felt like I'm sucking up all of the air in the room. After laughing at me for a while Rey said, "Say dad, Eve right here says she has a plan to teach that kid Prince Irwin a lil somethin about her" she grinned. So she was listening, I hope he agrees I hope he agrees I hope he agrees. "She's hella sure that we won't be involved in any trouble whatsoever, so no worries captain Jim you're keepin your job!"
I hope he agr- wait Uncle Jim agreed?! I was thinking about break dancing while I'm still on the floor.
"But.....Didn't you say there's a problem about knowing if he will com-" Rey complains before being interrupted by me replying "Solved." As I held a flier of the royal bookstore.

I found out that the only day he came to the meal was when the bookstore was closed for maintanence. And today the bookstore is also closed for maintenance, meaning this icy bookworm will be joining... I hope. Funny how much information a mere flier can provide. Also, cause of me being a nuisance in his eyes, he won't bother complain. I'm thankful for his stubborness.
I heard Lord Bitch was joining us, I won't be enjoying the prank as much because I'll be too busy covering my boobs from his rapeful eyes. But when Lord Bitch is around, Mr. Iceberg wouldn't want to look awkward in front of him. Making that damned penguin suffer from his special meal while trying to hide it.. Perfect!

"I have an idea!" Saucy Samantha said after I explained everything to the crew. "I once tried a type of hot sauce that made me almost wanna cut my tongue off!" She said with her usual enthusiastic tone. A spicy sauce that the Saucy Samantha can't handle?! I never thought such a thing exists!
"Gentlemen, I think we found our prank tool" I grinned evilly as I said each word.
