(A bit more trimming.)
When the [[chasmfiend]] appeared on the wrong plateau, threatening unarmed attendants, guests and scribes, Adolin helped his father and Elhokar kill it. During the fight, Adolin was momentarily awed by seeing his father display the prowess that earned him the title of [[Blackthorn]].{{book ref|sa1|13}} Afterwards Adolin oversaw the cleanup, happy to be doing something, while the other lighteyes on the trip relaxed leisurely. When Sadeas insulted his father, Adolin was quick to defend him, though his manner in doing so was brash and lead to a rebuke from his father and a gentle restraint from Renarin. Sadeas then turned his attention to his brother and Adolin nearly summoned his Shardblade but stoped when he is ordered to by Dalinar.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
 
Later Dalinar took Adolin aside to inspect the king's saddle as Elhokar had requested of them. Adolin quickly realized that Elhokar believes the girth was cut deliberately and pointed out his cousin's worsening paranoia and that he and his father seem to have become Elhokar's bodyguards to his annoyance. Despite the misgivings, both he and Dalinar agree that if the girth was cut there may be plot to kill the king as Alethi lighteyes are fond of their overly complicated plots. Dalinar assigned Adolin the task to investigate this further. Adolin wondered if Sadeas may be behind it but Dalinar shuts down the suggestion and showed Adolin that though they and Sadeas both have invested interest and desire to keep Elhokar safe and will work together to manipulate other highprinces for the King's benefit. Dalinar then revealed [[Gavilar]]'s final words. Adolin connected this to his father's presumed delusions and assumed they are a product of guilt over Gavilar's death. Dalinar hoped Adolin would learn to see the importance of the Codes. He then asked Adolin to at least respect Sadeas. Adolin reluctantly agreed and at his insistnaceinsistence Dalinar agreed to consider that Sadeas might be playing them.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
 
Elhokar later queried them about their opinions on the strap. When Dalinar told him that while it may have been cut there is no definitive proof the king insisted that there was a plot to kill him and that perhaps someone on the hunt had planned it. Adolin caught the king giving them a suspicious look and when Elhokar left he asked his father if he saw it too. Dalinar cut him off and told Adolin he will talk to Elhokar about it later. When the bridges finally arrived, Adolin resumed control of the army, directing its movements back towards the camps.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
Two days later Adolin informed his father of his findings. Dalinar and Adolin agreed that the best action would be for Dalinar to talk with Elhokar that they found nothing. Adolin brought up the visions, but Dalinar ended the conversation as they arrived at one of the king's feasts. Before they part ways Dalinar orders Adolin and Renarin to restrict their drinking.{{book ref|sa1|22}}
 
During the feast, Adolin found his father once more and informed him that he had dueled three different men who had accused both Dalinar and House Kholin of being cowards and of asking the king to abandon the [[Vengeance Pact]]. Dalinar told Adolin to ignore what others say or think. He added that the rumors were true. Dalinar had told the king in confidence they needed to end the war and return to AlterhkarAlethkar. Dalinar asked for Adolin's trust and promissespromises to talk later, but Adolin replied he was worrriedworried that the visions may be delusions. His father then acknowledged Adolin was right to be worried about their House's reputation. Dalinar thought that Elhokar would keep quiet about their conversation. He explained to Adolin he had suggested winning the war by striking the Parshendi directly.{{book ref|sa1|18}} Once the Vengeance Pact is fulfilled they would be able to go back home and stabilize Alethkar.{{book ref|sa1|22}} Adolin agreed with the his father's plan without objection, to Dalinar's surprise. Adolin explained he can support a strike, but that they would need a solid plan to get everyone on board with it. They planned to slowly get the highprinces to start working together with them to build trust. On the gossip, they disagreed with Adolin wanting to defend the house's honor. Dalinar countered saying that dueling others wouldn't change how they thought about the Kholins. He would publish an officalofficial refutation, which Adolin admitted is better than nothing.{{book ref|sa1|22}}
 
Just as Adolin was about to leave, his father spotted his aunt [[Navani]] and Adolin huggedherhugged her affectionately. She asked him how his courting is going, which Dalinar likened to a fast dance with changing partners. She told Adolin that was only old people who should have to be boring. Adolin thanked her and then left to tell Renarin that their aunt has returned. Later that evening Elhokar announced that he had named Sadeas as [[Highprince of Information]] and the investigation was no longer in House Kholin's hands.{{book ref|sa1|22}}
 
==== A House Divided ====
Days later, Adolin went to see his father at the [[Gallery of Maps]]. Adolin revealed that he was now courting [[Malasha Seveks]]. They discussed Dalinar's meeting with Highprince [[Roion]], who declined to work together. So, Dalinar planned to approach the others. Adolin brought up that Sadeas asked permission to enter their warcamp for his investigation. Adolin was worried about Sadeas' motives, but Dalinar pointed out that deyingdenying Sadeas's authority would undermine the king's as well besides making the Kholins look guilty.

|You aren't well, father, […] We need to stop tiptoeing around it! You need to stop making up increasingly irrational explanations to reason away your lapses! I know it's hard to accept, but sometimes, people get old. Sometimes, the mind stops working right.

}}To Adolin's dismay, Dalinar stated he was trusting Sadeas because of the visions. Adolin then accused his father of betting their house's future on the visions. Dalinar attempted to reassure Adolin by stating he would not stand by idle to see their house fall, and dismissed Adolin.{{book ref|sa1|25}}
 
Dalinar and Adolin spoke to one another some days later when Dalinar called for the army to mobilize for a plateau skirmish. Adolin apologized for where and how he said his grievances to his father, though he was not sorry for voicing them. Just as they were about to set off, Sadeas demanded admittance to the warcamp. Dalinar allowed him to accompany the plateau run to conduct the investigation, while Adolin was very suspicious of Sadeas intent.{{book ref|sa1|26}}

|I don't know what's wrong. Maybe it's your guilt over Gavilar's death. That book, the Codes, the visions—maybe they're all attempts to find escape, find redemption, something. What you see is not real. Your life now is a rationalization, a way of trying to pretend that what's happening isn't happening. But I'll go to Damnation itself before I'll let you drag the entire house down without speaking my mind on it!

While doing their inspections of the army, and viewing a test of their plans for bridges modeled after Sadeas's quicker ones, Adolin spends his time worrying about Dalinar. His father is beginning to appear more fragile and distressed, though he notes he is probably the only one who notices and admits internally that this frightens him. Dalinar is strained and Adolin reflects that when his father is strained he becomes detached and cold with other people, as he is becoming now. When the bridge fails the tests they decide to at least attempt redesigning it and move on.{{book ref|sa1|28}}

Dalinar makes Adolin inspect of the Fifth Battalion for him. When he is finished his father tells him he has learned well though Adolin believes Dalinar is reading too much into a simple inspection. When they interview the men Sadeas investigated the other day his father makes Adolin take the lead in the questioning. The men reveal that Sadeas—who they all agree is an eel—asked them what their duties around camp were. They tell Adolin that they revealed nothing to Sadeas, or at least nothing that would get House Kholin in trouble. Adolin notes that if they acted this way around Sadeas it would seem more incriminating than if they had cut the girth themselves. The men tell them that they didn't notice any tampering with the king's saddle but that no one was exactly looking for it either. When they leave Adolin and Dalinar agree that while the men are loyal they may have made matters more difficult for them.{{book ref|sa1|28}}
