~ Shilla Kingdom Temple ~
Lady Mishil stands on a temple wall with a diagram of the constellations. Lady Mi Shil's hand rubbed the image of the northern constellation. Seo Ri came slowly entering the room Lady Mi Shil stood up, then greeted Lady Mi Shil.
"Are you still worried about that northern constellation?" Seo Ri greeted Lady Mi Shil.
"You're coming." Mi Shil smiled, looking towards Seo Ri.
"Gaeyang has split into 2 stars." Mi Shil turned his gaze towards the diagram of the northern constellations.
"Up to 7 northern constellation stars to 8," Mi Shil said, wiping a swipe at the constellation diagram.
"But one of Gaeyang's stars has lost its light" Reverend Seo Ri said to Mi Shil, saying,
"It's been 15 years" Seo Ri said again to Mi Shil.
"At the time of Munno's disappearance," Mi Shil looked towards Seo Ri.
"Together with Chilsuk 15 years ago." Mi Shil walked over to Seo Ri.
The two of them walked together, talking.
"Losing Chilsuk is very sad," Seo Ri said to Mi Shil.
"But the star will lose its light if he manages to complete the task," Seo Ri explained further.
"Do you think?!" Mi Shil stopped his steps and looked towards Seo Ri.
"Yes," Seo Ri answered Mi Shil's question.
"The seven stars of the northern constellation will always be like that." Seo Ri looked towards Mi Shil.
"Then..." Mi Shil turned the body facing the diagram on the wall.
"Will this prince also be. destined according to prophecy." Mi Shil glanced at Seo Ri.
"Everything happens the way you want it to," Seo Ri answered Mi Shil's doubts.
"No need to worry." Seo Ri smiled then took a breath.
"Time is always on your side" Seo Ri made clear his inner view.
"So that is," Mishil looked at Seo Ri, his smile expanding.
"Time will always stand with me. But, if seen again... Time has no guards" Mi Shil said to Seo Ri.
"What?!" Seo Ri asked Mi Shil.
"15 years passed Didn't time... change my face?!" Mi Shil glanced sharply at Seo Ri.
"That's natural," Seo Ri answered Mi Shil while laughing.
"Who can beat your beauty at Seorabol?!" Seo Ri praised Mi Shil's beauty.
"You even praised me at a time like this," Mi Shil replied Seo Ri with a laugh.
"The sky will mock me," Mi Shil continued his words while laughing.
Dashingly Seol Won enters the astronomical chamber of the palace's sacred temple. In full battle attire with a sword in hand, Seol Won saluted Lady Mi Shil.
"Secure! A blue!" Seol Won reports to Mi Shil.
Lady Mi Shil ended her conversation with Seo Ri, looked at Seol Won and smiled.
"What makes you rush like that?" Mi Shil asked Seol Won.
"The sky's destiny is really at your side" Seol Won answered Mi Shil's question.
Mi Shil was surprised at Seol Won.
"This prince too... Dead like everyone else" Seol Won reported to Lady Mi Shil.
With a flat face Mi Shil looked at Seo Ri who was still smiling.

[~ Maya ~(Empress Jinpyeong, Princess Kim)]
"Why... Why is this happening?!" Empress Maya cries hugging Princess Inmyeong.
"My boy... Your Majesty, No!" The Empress shouted to the King, trying to defend her daughter.
"Give him to me!" King Jinpyeong said as he tried to take his daughter.
"No," Empress Maya refused, still hugging Princess Inmyeong.
"Now!" He shouted to the Empress.
"Isn't he your flesh and blood?!" The empress cried, defending her daughter.
"Give me the baby" He shouted, trying to take his daughter.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The Empress cried, the princess in her arms was captured by His Majesty.
"Now!" His Majesty said while holding Princess Inmyeong.

His Majesty King Jinpyeong awoke from his daydream, when the Empress arrived beside him, immediately fell to her feet.
"Your Majesty!" The Empress fell down beside the King.
"Your Majesty..." The Empress prostrated beside His Majesty.
"Empresses.. What are you doing?" King Jinpyeong grabbed his wife's shoulder, helping her stand up.
"Your Majesty. Punish me." The Empress refused to stand up, then sat down in front of the King.
"I lost three of your princes." The queen said while crying.
"And why was it your fault?" He said as he tried to calm the Empress.
"Your Majesty, don't you remember?!" The empress said while still crying.
"The twins I gave you" the Empress said to Her Majesty.
"Empress," His Majesty interrupted the words of the Empress.
"Leave us alone." He gave orders to the eunuch chief.
"Okay, Your Majesty," The eunuch's head replied to His Majesty's orders.
"Everyone, Go!" The head of the eunuch gave orders to all who were there.
"Well," They answered in unison.
Everyone present immediately passed from that place. The ladies-in-waiting went first, followed by the eunuchs, hwarangs, soldiers, bodyguards and palace guards. Then the King sat before the Empress. Grabbing his wife's shoulder, then hugging her tightly.
"My dear," His Majesty said softly to the Empress.
"Eochul Ssangsaeng, if the kingdom gets twins." The Empress said while crying in the King's arms.
"Seonggol Namjin, the sacred bloodline will be broken," the Empress said as she wept ever sobbing.
"The reason why we lost the prince... The twins, "The Queen said to His Majesty.
"Empress," His Majesty interrupted the words of the Empress.
"So, maybe you want to punish the criminals, this is because of my actions," the Empress pleaded for the punishment of Her Majesty.
"The Empress," His Majesty said, suppressing the intonation of his words.
"I will gladly sacrifice my life. Cheonmyeong and I must be sacrificed..." The Empress said to His Majesty, crying again.
"I will not do that" His Majesty calmed the Empress.
"Your Majesty!" The queen said while crying.
"Although the holy bloodline disappeared," His Majesty said firmly to the Empress.
"I will never sacrifice you and Cheonmyeong at the altar!" King Jinpyeong said and looked gently at the Empress.
"He survived Mishil's actions. Cheonmyeong will be able to match the power of Mishil," King Jinpyeong answered the Empress's doubts.
Her Majesty the Empress buried her face in the arms of Her Majesty. Princess Cheonmyeong watched as her parents sat on the porch, hugging a pathetic look.
Princess Cheonmyeong approached her parents.
"Dad," Princess Cheonmyeong called for His Majesty.
Hearing his daughter's call, King Jinpyeong let go of his embrace. The king let the Empress sit down to rest, then stood looking at her daughter.
[~ Cheonmyeong ~(Jinpyeong's eldest daughter, Seondeok's twin sister)]
"How can my third brother..." Princess Cheonmyeong cried looking at her father.
"Cheonmyeong." King Jinpyeong replied while looking at his daughter.
Princess Cheonmyong cried.
