Seamus sneakily swims into the sea kitchen where all of the sea chefs frantically prepare all the sea food for the sea dinner. The poison sea algae rests in his purse. 

"You Majesty!" The chef exclaims. "I must insist you exit the sea kitchen! We're very busy and you'll only be in the way!"

"I'm only looking for a snack," he drones. "I'll be gone in a moment."

He looks at the line of bowls on the counters with fancily prepared sea potatoes. Ishlantians only eat from platters sculpted from the bluest of sea pearls. He spots the largest of them: Osheaneous's bowl. 

Seamus creeps towards it, stealthily taking the poison algae from his purse and places it in the bowl of magestic sea potatoes. The algae is without taste or smell, but the poison will stop the king's heart in moments. Nothing can prevent it.

He exits the sea kitchen and swims into the hall where his brother, Malacky, waits for him. In the dining room, they watch as Ante and two of their sisters do an elaborate sea dance while wearing flashy sea costumes.

"It's done," Seamus informs in his dull tone.

Malacky smiles. "Wish me luck, brother."

"Good luck."

Malacky swims forward, nearing the stone-faced Osheaneous. He sits in a large elaborate chair watching Ante with an uncomfortable expression. On either side of him sits a mermaid. One is Anala, his daughter, the other is his wife, Picifiantianticaliania.

As Malacky nears, the Ishlantian King's guards watch him warily. He approaches Osheaneous.

"Hello, Sir."

He looks at Malacky.

"Hello, son."

He offers his hand. "My name is Sea Prince Malacky. I am Neptune's eldest son. May I have a word with you privately? It's urgent."

Osheaneous glances at his guards. "Of course."

He follows Malacky into a secluded hall.

"What is it?"

"I have reason to believe my father plans to poison you at dinner."

"What?"

"I know it sounds outlandish, but I heard him instruct the chef to place this in your sea potatoes." He takes out some poison algae. "I took some to show you. It's poisonous. If I am wrong, forgive me. But I suggest you have one of your attendants try your meal before you do."

"Why would you tell me this?"

"Sir, to be honest, I value honesty and what my father has done is treasonous and, as Sea Prince, I do not abide by that. If I am right, I understand that you will want to retaliate. I only ask that you let me take my rightful place as sea heir to the Atlantian thrown. Do what you will to my father."

His face grows red with anger. "That sea bastard! He invited me here to make peace, and, like a fool, I trusted him! I will do as you ask, boy. Know that you are in my favor for reporting this to me. If my sea potatoes prove fatal, I will  kill him for this. You can claim the trident."
