;Plot Summary
Shallan waits until she is away from the tailor shop before transforming to Veil in case the Surgebinding brings the screaming spren. She Lightweaves without incident. As she strolls through the streets, she sees poor refugees and another group of cultists dressed as rotspren. She wanders for some time, eventually getting closer to the palace, where the feeling of wrongness returns. She disguises herself as Lyn (while still remaining Veil) and approaches the oathgate. It is guarded by cultists. She hears strange sounds, like screams, coming from the platform. She finds Kaladin and he gives her the king's letter. He points out that the guards are acting strangely -- they are standing completely still, like statues. Veil tells Kaladin to stay there while she delivers the letter so they both aren't entrapped. She climbs the steps to the palace and announces that she has a letter from the Shattered Plains for the queen. The captain takes the letter from her, and she protests that she is supposed to deliver it personally, when one of the guards stabs her with a sword. She collapses to the floor and the captain simply returns to his post. She pretends to die, but uses just enough Stormlight to stay alive. A guard slings her over his shoulder and carries her away. As she's carried through the hall, she passes a mirror, in which she sees a shadowy figure with white eyes look in surprise at her. She's deposited in a room with a few other rotting corpses. She slips out of the room and disguises herself as a servant. She finds a door leading out and has Pattern check for guards. There are two outside, so she has Pattern imitate the voice of their captain, calling them. They walk away. She exits the palace and hides by a nearby building, telling Pattern to fetch Kaladin. After he tries to check her wounds, they go back to the safehouse.
