Sword and Beloved Episode 16

Love and loyalty

This was a poignant episode on several levels. We see that deer village is now raided and 12581 is being seduced by a fox clone saying his sister betrayed him. Quan JingTing is feeling powerful but is reminded by those who know him that it is a house of cards waiting to collapse. The saddest thing the butler said was that HongYe needed to be part of YiQi alliance. This is everything that is wrong with him, That aside, the butler is currently the bravest man in WangQuan. His love and loyalty for generations of the family is so evident here. Madam Yin has shown up in person to tell FuGui what’s been happening. He gives her permission to sell his location and that he has no dealings with spider cave. This creates quite a crowd to come to him. There are plenty of demons wanting revenge. Seems the men here are as worthless as in the alliance. It is clear this one in black is Rumu’s dragon. Her heart has been taken over by hate and FuGui feels it is ok to kill her. When his fire is blocked by his cousin, the fox smiles through her seeing RuMu’s love as a weakness to exploit. I am hoping he uses his fire to purge the evil from her. Quan JingTing has seen Qing Tong’s brother and I am sure he will plot plenty very soon. I highly respect the butler preventing HongYe from kneeling to JingTing. This is great respect as he candidly points out the lack of regard those around JingTing truly have. I am sure they all know how loyalty was respected by JingTing. He killed his most loyal disciple for his blood to get the sword. There is no benefit or regard given to care for his sorry ass. I can only hope he dies alone far away from the leader chair he feels entitled to. The butler hopes to make it to FuGui. I am not sure he will, but I am sure news of his efforts will reach him. Now to see what plans the cousins make now that RuMu’s dragon has entered the picture.
