「忠実」 has too broad a range of meanings. It can be used to describe so many kinds of relationships, such as between friends, colleagues, company vs. employee, and even a pet dog vs. its owner. Using a general word like this would not make your writing look great. You would need a word with a narrower range of meanings that serves a more specific purpose. 「忠義」 will give you just that when it comes to Bushidou as it describes a more serious and committed type of 「忠実」.
