Kaladin arrived at the king's room to change the guards. Elhokar was impressed by his thoroughness. The king held council with his family and their most trusted advisers. The king was worried about the response from the highprinces to the recent proclamations. He feared Dalinar's actions could end the kingdom. Dalinar then explained his plan. He wanted the highprinces to be mad, to make them think about their roles and actions, combined with the threat to take it all away. He suggested that Adolin started dueling other shardbearers for their shards. Elhokar responded by saying the highprinces won't like it. They enjoyed their sports and fun, and would likely send assassins. Dalinar insisted they needed to do it anyway, and added, to Elhokar's amazement, that he was going to refound the Knights Radiant.{{book ref|sa2|5}}
Elhokar was sheltering for a high storm in his palace with Adolin and Renarin with Kaladin guarding them. Adolin questioned Kaladin's presence. He explained that when you least expected it, he needed to guard against assassins. The king found that a good explanation. When the storm ended, Dalinar and Navani joined from the adjacent room. They discuss the duels, and Elhokar asked eagerly if Adolin tried anyone from Sadeas's camp. He had not as Amaram was the only shardbearer. Dalinar thought he might be able to have him change sides. Most of the group left the palace.{{book ref|sa2|22}}
After the storm, Elhokar went outside on his balcony. The part of the railing he leaned against gave out and the king was hanging from the railing. His guards could rescue him just in time. On investigation, Kaladin and Dalinar noticed the railing had been cut by a shardblade and the mortar had been chipped away. Afterwards, Elhokar insisted that Dalinar put Kaladin in charge of his guards.{{book ref|sa2|23}}
