In the next storm, the king was sheltering in his palace again. Kaladin had dozed off for a second. When he woke up he insisted something was wrong and they needed to get the king to safety. The king disagreed as did Adolin. A moment later Dalinar woke from his vision, and agreed to follow Kal's instincts and leave. They quickly organized a retreat through the kitchens. Suddenly the corridor ahead was dark and they noticed a hole in the wall and a body on the ground. In the corridor stood the [[Assassin in White]]. Dalinar ordered Renarin to protect the king and take him back out while Dalinar, Adolin and Kaladin confronted the Assassin in White. During the fight the assassin said he did not come for Elhokar but for Dalinar. It ended when Kaladin pushed himself and the assassin out of the hole in the wall, plummeting into the air.{{book ref|sa2|32}}
When Kaladin made his way back into the palace, Elhokar was the first to accept his story on how he survived the fall with the assassin. He praised Kaladin for alerting them to the danger. When Navani asked why the assassin had come, Elhokar said he came to claim him. Neither Dalinar nor Kaladin corrected him. A bit later, the king went into his bedroom to get more wine. On the door he found a new series of glyphs with a countdown.{{book ref|sa2|33}}

When Dalinar, Shallan and Adolin lead the expedition onto the Shattered plains during the weeping, Elhokar stayed behind. He went to the barrack of Bridge Four to meet Kaladin, who was recovering from his ordeal in the chasms. He chastised Kal for having made excuses for not coming to the king when requested. After sending away the guards, Elhokar asked Kaladin about being a hero and how to know what to do. He asks directly if Kaladin finds him a bad king, to which the reply was "yes". Elhokar then admitted that he had ruined the plan after the duel, and not Kaladin.{{book ref|sa2|80}}
During the night, Kaladin came to the palace with the intend to warn the king about the assassination plans from [[Graves]] and his group. He noticed the guards were Graves's man and took them out. He then found the king laying drunkenly on a couch. He tried to evacuate the king, who was barely able to walk. One of the 'guards' managed to plunge his knife into Elhokar's side. Kaladin quickly bandaged the wound, and they continued their escape. In the hallway, the king slumped to the ground and then [[Moash]] and Graves arrived, both with blade and plate.{{book ref|sa2|82}} Kaladin fought them, and swore the third ideal of the [[Windrunners]] in the process.{{book ref|sa2|84}}
