==== Dalinar's Fury ====

After Sadeas's betrayal at the [[Battle of the Tower]], Dalinar came to visit Elhokar in his sitting room. Elhokar started talking but Dalinar interrupted him by kicking him in the chest while still wearing his shardplate. When the king shouted for his guards, no one responded. Dalinar overpowered the king and pointed out that the guards were his men. Elhokar then admitted it he had cut his own saddle strap, in an attempt to draw attention to his safety. Dalinar then placed his hand on the king's chest and made clear that if he wanted Elhokar dead it would have already happened. Dalinar then ordered Elhokar to name him Highprince of War. He then laid out his plan for the future. Elhokar was astonished when Dalinar told him he was now courting his mother.{{book ref|sa1|69}}

 

 

==== Persuading the Highprinces ====

After the attack, the king held a council with all highprinces and their wives. Many feared another attack and brought their shards.{{book ref|sa2|37}} During a break in the meeting, Shallan Davar arrived. The Highprinces argued over the assassin. The king insisted they had to follow his commands, which many found ludicrous. Dalinar made the case for an expedition to defeat the Parshendi once and for all. This ended the meeting. Shallan went to inform Elhokar of the dead of his sister Jasnah. The king also sealed pardons for her retinue.{{book ref|sa2|38}}

 

Elhokar accompanied Dalinar, Navani and Amaram to watch Adolin's latest duel against two opponents. He liked the plan the Kholins had made. Everyone was surprised when four opponents appeared where two were expected. Dalinar wanted to have Adolin pull out of the context. Elhokar questioned that, as the Dalinar would forfeit all six of his family's shards. Adolin started of well, but could not keep up against four assailants. Dalinar wanted to get help for Adolin and asked the king for his blade. Elhokar refused, as without plate Dalinar would be defenseless. Dalinar insisted, but Elhokar counseled caution and warned of a trap. Then Renarin joined the battle, followed shortly after by Captain Kaladin.{{book ref|sa2|56}} Together with Adolin, they managed to defeat the four opponents in an impressive display. Elhokar then announced that he was greatly pleased by their accomplishment. He offered Adolin a boon, who demanded the Right of Challenge to duel Sadeas. Then Kaladin demanded the right of challenge as well against Amaram. The king instantly ordered Kaladin's arrest.{{book ref|sa2|57}}

 

Afterwards in Dalinar's warcamp, Dalinar and Elhokar argued over Kaladin's fate, while the latter was chained to a seat. Elhokar was furious that Kal had dared to insult someone so much above his station, while Dalinar tried to defend him. When Kaladin tried to speak, the king shouted at him to stay silent as he had ruined everything. The king wants to have him executed, which Dalinar finds ridiculous. Elhokar then asked Dalinar if he would stop him. Dalinar evaded the question, leading Elhokar to challenge Dalinar on Dalinar's respect for the throne. In answer, Dalinar said executing Kaladin would make Dalinar an enemy to Elhokar. Finally, Elhokar relented and agreed to send Kaladin to prison until further notice.{{book ref|sa2|58}}
