Chapter 200. The Crown Prince's Heartbreaking Accusation
"Why can he go play on the coral reef while I have to study the art of governance in the study? Why do you forgive him with a smile when he makes a mistake, while I am punished for the slightest error? Why..." His voice choked, "Why did you initially say you would marry me to the Holy Mother, but in the end he got Su Yaoyao?"

The council chamber was deathly silent, save for the gentle sound of flowing water. The Sea King stared in shock at his eldest son's bloodshot eyes and contorted face, speechless for a moment.

Noah stepped forward, his voice low: "Brother, Her Highness the Holy Consort is not an object, not a spoil of war to be fought over. It is her prerogative to choose whomever she wishes."

“Shut up!” Norman turned to his brother, his eyes blazing with jealousy. “You have everything, of course you can talk like that! The Empress Dowager’s favor, the Holy Mother’s affection, you even have more rights to make mistakes than I do!”

The Sea Emperor took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "Norman, you are the eldest son, the future Sea Emperor. Our strict demands on you are necessary."

"I don't want to!" Norman practically roared, his voice echoing through the hall. "I'd rather not be the Sea King! I just want to be loved like an ordinary son!"

These words were like a trident, piercing straight into the Sea Goddess's heart. She staggered back a step, only managing to steady herself by steadying herself on the throne. For the first time in many years, pain and confusion showed in the eyes of this majestic Sea Goddess.

“Norman,” her voice suddenly softened, “have you really always thought that way?”

Norman's anger seemed to vanish in that instant; he collapsed to his knees, burying his face in his hands. "Every time I saw you smile at Noah, my heart ached like it was being pierced by a sea urchin. I thought that if I did well enough, you would love me the way you loved him. But no, never."

The Sea Queen felt a wave of dizziness. She suddenly realized that she might have made an irreparable mistake. She walked down the steps and tried to touch her eldest son's shoulder, but he dodged her.

Seeing his eldest son's grief-stricken state, the Sea King felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, experiencing a sharp pain in his heart.

She always thought she was loving her two sons equally, but she never expected that Norman had accumulated so much resentment and dissatisfaction.

At this moment, she couldn't help but fall into deep reflection. Perhaps, without realizing it, she had really poured more attention and affection into Noah, thus neglecting Norman's feelings, which led to the situation that had occurred today.

The Sea Emperor frowned, a hint of guilt and heartache flashing in his eyes.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and slowly said, "Norman, it was the Queen Mother's oversight that she failed to notice your inner pain and dissatisfaction."

But no matter how wronged you feel, you shouldn't resort to such despicable means to solve the problem.

Harming Her Highness the Holy Mother not only damages our friendly relations with her, but could also bring unpredictable disaster to the sea creatures.

Norman's sobs gradually subsided as he listened to Poseidon's words, but he still stubbornly turned his head away, refusing to respond. Poseidon looked at him, his heart filled with mixed emotions, knowing full well that this storm caused by love and misunderstanding would not be easy to quell completely.

She had to handle the situation carefully, giving Su Yaoyao and the Starry Empire a satisfactory explanation while upholding the dignity and reputation of the Sea Clan, and also resolving Norman's resentment and repairing the rift in their family relationship.

After a moment of silence, the Sea Emperor softened his tone and said, "Norman, I will not forgive you easily for this, but considering that you had a reason for it and that you have harbored resentment for a long time, I will consider being lenient with you."

However, you must personally apologize to Her Highness and solemnly promise that you will never again do anything to harm her or Noah.

Norman bit his lip and remained silent for a long time before finally nodding gently under the Sea Emperor's expectant and guilty gaze.

The Sea Queen looked at him and understood that although Norman had temporarily agreed to her request, she would need to make more efforts to make up for her past negligence and mistakes in order to truly resolve the knot in Norman's heart, let him feel the warmth of family again, and restore harmony within the sea tribe.

The sea creatures, due to this sudden turmoil, are now at a delicate turning point. The road ahead is full of challenges and uncertainties, and everything requires her careful planning and response.

After Norman nodded, the Sea Queen sighed softly and gestured for the guards to take Norman away. Watching her eldest son's forlorn figure, she was filled with self-reproach and worry.

Noah walked to the Sea Emperor's side and said softly, "Mother, please don't blame yourself too much. My brother... he was just confused for a moment." The Sea Emperor shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Noah, this is not his fault alone. As his mother, I also bear an inescapable responsibility."

The Sea Emperor returned to his throne, rubbed his temples, and after a moment's thought, said to Noah, "Noah, go back and take care of Her Highness the Holy Mother. I will handle things here. Tell her that the Sea Clan will give her a satisfactory answer." Noah nodded, bowed, and hurriedly left to return to Su Yaoyao's side.

After Noah left, the Sea Queen fell into deep thought. She knew that this incident was not only an internal family conflict, but also concerned the relationship between the Sea Clan and the Star Glory Empire. As the Holy Mother, Su Yaoyao held an extremely high position in the Star Glory Empire, and if not handled properly, it could very well trigger a conflict between the two countries.

To resolve this matter as quickly as possible, the Sea Queen decided to convene the Sea Clan Council the following day. She would publicly address the issue in the council, explain the situation to the elders and ministers, and discuss countermeasures together. At the same time, she also dispatched an envoy to the Starshine Empire to inform the imperial family of the incident and express the Sea Clan's apologies.

The next day, the atmosphere in the Sea Clan Council Hall was heavy. The Sea Emperor sat in the main seat, his face grave, and recounted in detail how Norman had drugged Su Yaoyao. Upon hearing this, the elders and ministers all showed expressions of shock and anger.

An elderly elder with white hair stepped forward first and said, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the reputation of the Sea Clan and must not be tolerated. The Crown Prince has committed such an absurd act and must be severely punished to give the Star Glory Empire an explanation." The other elders and ministers echoed his sentiments.

The Sea Emperor nodded slightly and said, “What you all say is very true, but Norman is, after all, my son, and I hope to give him a chance to reform. I have ordered him to apologize to Her Majesty the Holy Mother in person and promise not to harm her and Noah again.”

At this moment, another minister frowned and said, "Your Majesty, an apology alone is probably not enough. We need to take concrete actions to regain the Starshine Empire's trust in us. Perhaps we could send a generous gift to express our sincerity."
