After hearing empress Liah's story, Kahlan went back to Darca hoping to find out where Torren and Mal must have headed to.
On the other hand, Torren and Mal were already on their way to find princess Sophia they've already spent 36 hours on the road. "You must surely remember something Mal, you're not that dumb. I'm sure Sophia didn't mention only Duroca to you. Think Mal."
"With all due respect my lord, I can't possibly force my self to remember what I've long forgotten. If you think she mentioned somewhere else to me why not say it. I know this is important to you, it's also important to me but I honestly do not know where she would be. Sophia is a princess that has been locked up all through her life. Maybe she'll be somewhere exciting."
"Mal, you know you're completely useless most times."
