In a stunning scene, Mi-shil confronts a royal astrologer. She demands a prophecy regarding the twin princesses. The astrologer, trembling, reveals a vision: "The twin stars will clash. One will fall, and one will rise to become the first female king of Silla. She will bring a golden age, but only after bathing the land in blood."
Throughout the episode, the cinematography and production values are impressive, capturing the grandeur and majesty of the Silla kingdom. The costumes, sets, and music all contribute to an immersive viewing experience, transporting the audience to a bygone era.
