...I cannot say for sure. But I do not believe they would just leave him alone to fend for himself.

You have the sea to tend to, and the matters of the world above here are of little consequence to you, so I doubt you are aware of this story. But I have heard that... many years ago, when the former king of Hoshido was assassinated by an enemy kingdom, one of his daughters was kidnapped in the process. She is back with her family now, many years later, but to try and get her back before, the Hoshidans kidnapped a princess from that kingdom themselves to try and bargain an exchange.

But the other kingdom... cruelly turned them down. They left one of their own children for dead.

The late Queen, though she agonized over the loss of her own daughter and had no reason to care about this other princess, could not believe that someone would do that to their own child. So instead of killing or abandoning her, she adopted her as her own. I have heard that even years later, she and her adopted siblings are close, and they always refer to her as their sister.

If they would not abandon or mistreat an enemy's daughter, I see no reason why they would abandon Choromatsu, even if things do not work out for him. Queen Mikoto preached kindness until her death, and I have no reason to believe her eldest is not following in her footsteps. I think... he will be taken care of until he chooses to leave. If not, then it sounds like the girl's family owes him a debt for saving their daughter's life anyway, so he has them to turn to as well.

[ ...this story may not do anything for Poseidon's nerves given all the... kidnap talk, but he's hoping it might a bit. ]
