The monarch enslaved by the Yuan Empire of the state of Koryo chose and raised boys for a personal guard called Continu. With the permission of the king, the guards lived in the palace, and always guarded their master. The head of the guard, Hon Rome, enjoyed the king’s special favor, which caused the queen resentment and jealousy. Meanwhile, the relationship between Koryo and Yuan worsened. Emperor Yuani, under the pretext of the lack of a legitimate heir at the throne, demanded to appoint the King -Kyonvon cousin in hereditary prince. The king, despite the discontent of high -ranking officials, rejected this requirement. Being incapable of intercourse with a woman, he secretly commanded his lover, Hon Rome, to sleep with the queen, so that he could conceive a child that would allow the king to maintain power.
