I just saw the third episode of Queen Seon Deok (선덕여왕) and I think I understand what the prophecy meant about having twins in the royal bloodline and the curse it sort of has... that it will break the royal bloodline.
King Jin-pyeong and Lady Maya, later known as Queen Maya had twins, Princess Chung Myung and Princess Duk Man, (later will be known as Queen Seon Deok when she assumes the throne of her father.) Princess Chung Myung remained a princess, while her twin, Duk Man was entrusted to the king's chambermaid/servant, So Hwa and was ordered by the king to stay as far away as she could, to raise the child as her own and to protect her.
The King and Queen had 3 other children ofter the twins, all of which were boys and all perished through some kind of sickness. So prophecy meant is that, any male child of the king and queen after the birth of the twins will die, therefore, severing the royal bloodline.
The episode then, fast forwards 15 years later and tells what happens to the king's chambermaid So Hwa and Princess Duk Man after their escape from Mi Shil and company's clutches with the help of Munno, King Jinheung's (King Jin-pyeong grandfather) trusted Gukseon (General). Duk Man and the king's former chambermaid, whom she knows as her real mom, is living in chinese territory. 15 year old, Duk-Man meets Chil Sook, ( the same guy Mi-Shil ordered to look for So Hwa and baby Duk Man and bring them to her. but Munno got the best of him and rescued So Hwa and the baby.) and Chil Sook never reported back to Mi-Shil, fearing that Mi-Shil might kill him for letting them escape.) a wandering traveler, who is seeking employment and wants to be employed by Romans. Duk Man brings Chil Sook to where she and her mother works/stays without even knowing the danger just waiting to happen.
I could only bet that Chil- Sook never really stopped looking for So-Hwa and the baby. He most likely swore that he'll never come back to Mi-Shil until he finds them.
Things are heating up!
Episode 4 should be interesting to watch!
