Chapter 470 - 410 The Death of the Unihorn Whale King
The matter was complex.
The death of the Unihorn King involved many, yet the cause was exceedingly simple.
The younger brother of the assassin who killed the Unihorn King had a dispute with the eldest son of the Unihorn King during a sea voyage. In the end, the latter, out of momentary hatred, abandoned him on a deserted island. When they returned after several days, they discovered that he had starved to death on the island.
The heir to the Undersea Kingdom regretted this deeply and eventually killed himself out of fear of punishment.
The deaths of the princes between the two races immediately stirred up a huge uproar. Nevertheless, mindful of the friendship formed since ancient times, initially, both sides showed the utmost restraint. The Unihorn King and the King of the Nus Kingdom held a secret meeting on a small island. Everything went smoothly, and the matter should have been concluded hastily.

Unable to accept the unclear death of his brother and the murderer’s suicide followed by a hasty resolution, Nimirda, with the assistance of others, assassinated the Unihorn King en route to the Undersea Kingdom.
This horrifying tragedy caused a huge uproar between the two races. In the eyes of the Merfolk, no matter the faults of the Unihorn King’s eldest son, he was already dead, and the matter should have been settled there. For the elves, while the death of the Unihorn King was regrettable, Nimirda’s plight was also deserving of sympathy.

As for Nimirda, he was ultimately executed.
