So did they get the sword back?

Since they are still calling him a thief, I am assuming they must of got the sword

Le sigh. This family is so crazy. O don't understand why the younger brother is even helping that other princess. Maybe because he didn't feel betrayed by the princess despite the princess basically being the one who induced his original punishment
Many thanks

Ty for the update!

I don't really get why the younger brother wants to help the woman who gave him the lashing in the first place.. I guess he was hurt more by betrayal? Either way I just want a happy ending for the main characters..

What I find really bizarre is the father. His eldest son is set to marry the empress, making him one of the most powerful people in the empire, and he's scheming to topple her from the throne?! For some pissant bribe? How does he think this is going to be worth it?

SF book I read once had a lesson in this kind of politics. MC is up against this woman who is brilliant and ruthless (and sexy) and she keeps switching her schemes to take advantage of new offers where she gets even more. He eventually makes her an offer so rich her greed makes her stop to consider it even if she suspects it's fake, and he uses that hesitation to spring a trap. But afterwards he tells her,
"You should have stuck to your first plan. Or your second, or your third . . . you should have stuck to something. Your opportunism didn't make you strong, it made you a rag in the wind, for anyone to pick up who wanted to."
Some of the schemers around here have her problem.

I'm really looking forward to Lyon kill the old Yang and Jayang for treachery, he only wants a submissive empress so his son and clan regain the power they used to have, he could be a loyal servant and support Lyon, but I guess his greed is higher than his common sense. He just want power, his son may be a good ruler but he still needs a competent empress and that's not Jayang.

That thief pisses me off. I hope he loses miserably and we’ll never get to see him again in this series.

@IvanXav Ha! Yeah, I have a feeling you know the book I'm talking about, too. Ah, it was a treat--showcased young Miles Vorkosigan at his "forward momentum" best.

I think the father and brother are not trying to topple lyon but rather dowun. They find him to be a threat to themselves not the clan. Like if they did something wrong he wouldn't hesitate to give them punishment and ofc to overthrow dowun the would have to wipe out lyon as well because she is becoming independent and even if dowun goes away she wont.
And its kinda ugly thinking that the greed is hitting them hard. At first, they just wanted to regain their honor by getting into the royal family, or atleast be closely allied with them. But now they want to control the royal family lmao.
And duwon's brother definitely isn't trying to help jayang lmao, he's just using her to overthrow dowun. In one way or the other he is also as much rotten as dowun but with still a bit of sense of humanity left :v
