To My Beloved Thief Episode 10

Her shields form an alliance to protect her and the people want Gil Dong to lead revolt

It was not a wayward arrow that killed her father, but he was not made prey as first led to believe. The emperor saw what he wanted to see in a drug induced hallucination. He was horrified by what he did.The arrow that should have pierced the Prince’s heart was stopped by his life pendant. His kindness to his little bro and the returned kindness saved his life. The Prince and second son save her by cooperating to plant an arrow where Ms Hong said she tossed it. Both were brave and faced death for what they did. The Prince gives words about his health so the second son can relay it verbatim to her. They relay back and forth how to handle things so she won’t kill herself or act rashly. The Prince uses strong trees and humor to make her not dwell on who got her arrow. He wants her to want to live and not harbor guilt for him. The people are mourning the death of the last honorable magistrate from the court. She spoke so plainly how his own family could not cry out at the injustice of his death or let their mourning be heard lest his majesty be disturbed by it. Her agony and the sympathy of both her shields is palpable this episode. They determine to keep her safe from the powers that be and are united in their noble cause. The emperor has been out for days because of the drug and is becoming a living corpse as the secretary wants. Originally I pitied the emperor being surrounded by such vipers, but after his treatment of the magistrate’s son and his own brother, he deserves them. It is obvious that weak whiny boy couldn’t shoot an arrow across the courtyard much less the distance HongSi did. The men cannot fathom a woman having that much skill. The people are asking for Gil Dong to lead a revolt and are asking her directly to lead the charge.The prince confronts his brother and boldly states the one endangering him is his majesty. The blade is drawn and for the third time the Prince is asked to repeat what he said. The second son witnesses the soul swap and Ms Hong again finds herself with a blade at her throat but this time as the prince. She has quickly figured out the situation but I am curious what she is going to say to the emperor next episode.
