|
After Eshonai’s messenger’s arrival and confirmation of the meeting place Kaladin wants to evacuate the palace as he feels it is unsafe, even though the highstorm is just ending. As they move to do so [[Szeth]] arrives. Dalinar sends Renarin with Elhokar to protect him while he, Adolin and Kaladin face off against the assassin in white, not knowing that he is there to kill Dalinar. Adolin wants to take on the assassin himself but Dalinar says they’ll fight him together. During the fight Adolin gets surgebound to the ceiling by Szeth and later falls when the stormlight runs out and lands on his shoulder and is removed from the fight, appearing unconscious to Kaladin. {{book ref|wor|32}} After the fight Adolin seems to doubt Kaladin’s account of how he survived. He is particularly curious as to why Kaladin’s arm seems fine but the sleeve is cut after the arm had been cut by Szeth’s blade. {{book ref|wor|33}} The next day Adolin reflects on the night’s encounter more and finds Kaladin to have been suspiciously effective against Szeth. After watching the Soulcasters create a new windbreak he grills Kadash, the supervising ardent, about the Radiants and tells him to do more research into them. {{book ref|wor|35}}
At the meeting of the Highprinces Adolin worries about his effectiveness in protecting his father from the Assassin in White when he was useless the last time. While the meeting is on break he goes to Relis, current duelling champion, son of Highprince Ruthar and full Shardbearer, and tries to goad him into a duel. While Relis refuses, even with five of the Kholin’s shards on the line, he manages to hook Relis’s cousin Elit. Afterwards he is cornered by Sadeas who tells him that what he did at the Battle of the Tower was done as a kindness to Adolin’s father. Adolin threatens Sadeas with a slow death and reflects that you can abandon an ally on the battlefield and leave them to die but an offense in person is considered worse in the eyes of society. He almost punches Sadeas in the face but is stopped by [[Amaram]]. Adolin tries to convince Amaram to secede but Amaram says he must remain with Sadeas to help bridge gaps. He also says that he and Sadeas have an understanding. Adolin doubts Amaram’s sterling reputation. He is distracted however by the arrival of Shallan and struck by her beauty and when he approaches her he overhears her informing his aunt and father of Jasnah’s death.{{book ref|wor|37}}
