King Yuri, the son of the first king of Goguryeo, the great Gojomun, is first and foremost a father, and only then a ruler. Immediately after his son Muhyeol’s birth, a soothsayer predicted a fateful destiny for him: the boy would kill his own mother, brother, father, and even his own son; because of him, the kingdom of Goguryeo would fall, and the people would suffer. The soothsayer insists that the father himself, with his own hands, take the newborn son’s life.
