Richard was captured by Six, but without his power he was having a hard time overcoming the strong bewitching power of her. She was leading him to Queen Violet to be tortured and used in Six’s plan. When she left Richard in a room, he was able to finally concentrate without her strong presence there. Richard hid the book so that Six could not see the secrets it held. While Six was leading him towards Violet’s palace, she told him that Kahlan was in the captured by Jagang. She overestimated her control over him because when he passed the Imperial Order soldiers moving into the city because of an arrangement to stole a sword and used his knowledge through the Sword of Truth and the Dance of Death to cut through them mercilessly heading towards and escape. When he reached the gap in the wall he was met with thousands of archer pointing arrows toward him. The commander of the army offered him slavery to play Ja’La dh Jin, because of his obvious skill and art of attacking towards a goal, or to die a painful torturous death for all those he killed. Richard had no choice and accepted the slavery.
Violet was unpleased that Six had lost Richard although she had no choice except to fight the Imperial Order for control over him which was hardly possible. So after listening to a scolding she got from Violet she throw her to the ground and told her that she had enough and that she was done playing games to get her will under the figurehead and assume the crown taking it away from Violet.
Violet’s reign was not one expected to last since Six had control and all the means to take it whenever when she wanted. Richard being captured by the Imperial Order and being taken away from the book he needs is distressing, but it gives him the opportunity to get the Kahlan and attempt to rescue her which will be an interesting feat.
