:''Four years ago''
Shallan's father is having a feast, trying to pretend that their family hasn't grown impoverished. The guests are [[Tavinar|Brightlord Tavinar]] and his wife and [[Eylita Tavinar|
The door to the feast hall slams open, and a man walks in. The man is [[Redin]], bastard son of [[Valam|Highprince Valam]], and he has come to investigate rumors about Shallan's mother's death. Lin says that his wife was murdered by her lover, but Redin says that others tell a different story. They speak alone for a while, and Lin eventually slams his hand down on the table in anger. Calmly, Redin stands up and announces that any lighteyes of high birth can provide witness, and asks if any of the children will come with him to do so. Balat grabs the sides of his chair as if to stand, but seeing Lin's face stops and whispers that his father will kill him. Shamespren stir among the children, then Redin states that if any of them remember something they want to tell, they will find willing ears. After Redin leaves, Shallan's father shrinks down in his seat with his head in is hands.
