A question about applicability

The FaQ here says the following: http://www.worldofmunchkin.com/faq/

Important Note #3: "Defeated" versus "Killed" versus "Lost"
For the purposes of the game, "defeating" a monster involves beating it in combat or removing it from play in such a way that you do not have to Run Away. This means that if a Wizard casts a charm spell, or a munchkin uses a Pollymorph Potion, or something else happens that ends a fight without the munchkins Running Away, the monster is defeated. This may or may not grant Treasures, depending on the method of defeat; assume it does not unless the card or method says otherwise.

Now the question:
If somone played such a card to remove the single monster in the described way and the card says the treasure is left for the user to keep, and then someone played a card that can only be played during combat, for the purpose of making the monster have no loot, can the second card be played, refering to the lingo in the FaQ excerpt below: Is the second card applicable?

Q. Does the "reasonable time rule" apply to defeating a monster without killing it, or just to killing it?
A. Any sort of defeat. If you defeat it without killing it, other players still have a reasonable time to play an applicable card to frustrate you. However, if you removed the only monster from the fight (with Magic Lamp, for instance), they cannot play Monster Enhancers or other similar cards that affect a specific monster, because there isn't one there to fight, and they can't use any special rules for bringing in monsters (such as the Shark rules from Munchkin Booty) that depend on having a monster in the fight. They can play Wandering Monster to bring in an entirely new monster, but they must do it at once.

The actual situation involved one single monster, a card with a rose, whos name i cant translate, and then a card with an empty box, name translates roughly to "Much noise for nothing", both cards from Shakespeare.
