Marlon Royal Family

The **Marlon Royal Family** was the royal lineage that ruled the Kingdom of Marlon. Following the Marlon Revolution, the royal family was removed from power.

## History

### Early History

Following the foundation of the Kingdom of Marlon, the Marlon family became its rulers, standing in constant opposition to the smaller Kingdom of Lioness; at some point, the royal family came to possess Grim the End as a treasured heirloom.

In EC 110, Princess Yufina was born and later engaged to Prince Martius Beelzenia to adopt a male heir into the family. After the king's death, Martius ascended to the throne with Yufina as his queen. In March of EC 136, Yufina was abducted by Duke Sateriasis Venomania whilst visiting the Beelzenian Empire.

After Count Karchess Crim assassinated the duke and freed Yufina later that year, the two eloped and were subsequently hunted by King Martius and the Beelzenian Imperial Family. Yufina later supported her new husband in establishing a "legitimate" Marlon and overthrow Martius' rule in EC 139, successfully deposing the Beelzenian ruler and reinstating the royal family's bloodline. After Karchess' death, his grandchild took the throne.

### Conquest of Lioness

During the latter half of the third century EC, King Charon assumed the throne and sired three children with Queen Millicent: Kirk, Cult, and Carlos. At some point, the family spoke with a shaman from the Millennium Tree Forest, learning how to make a healing elixir by mixing ziz tiama ink with the magical shavings of Grim the End; their son would then begin using this to treat his physical weakness.

The King later betrothed Carlos to Banica Conchita in June of EC 311 to improve relations between Marlon and Beelzenia. In February of EC 312, their engagement was cut off following Banica's "disgusting behavior" during a formal dinner. Sometime after, King Charon declared war on Lioness. Carlos was later captured by Lioness and coerced into becoming his former fiancee's cook in early EC 325. A few months after, he entered a relationship with her and they conceived a child; he then died soon after in a botched murder-suicide. Lioness was later defeated and the royal family successfully conquered the entire island.

### Story of Evil

Over a century later, the King of Marlon married and had several children prior to his wife's death. After a period of grief, he then married Prim Rogze and sired two children with her in EC 474, Kyle and Moira. Later on, while visiting the Kingdom of Lucifenia, Queen Prim was seduced by King Arth Lucifen d'Autriche and gave birth to his child, Arkadi, in EC 482. To avoid exposing her infidelity, she agreed to give the child to Arth's court mage, ESSENCE.

In the late EC 480s, the royal family betrothed Prince Kyle to Princess Riliane of Lucifenia. In December of EC 491, Arkadi was planted as an agent in the Kingdom of Marlon to help destabilize it. In EC 490, the king died and Prim systematically secured her son's legitimacy as his heir, forcing his illegitimate children to swear away their birthrights. Kyle then ascended to the throne in EC 494, while his sister "disappeared" and adopted the identity of "Mora Viwirtz". Three years later, Prim died under "mysterious circumstances", though publicly blamed on an illness.

After becoming king, Kyle imposed heavy taxes on the citizens of Marlon, funneling the money into social services for the common folk. In EC 500, he allowed the invasion of Elphegort and the slaughter of its male Elphe population in response to Princess Riliane rejecting their betrothal in favor of an Elphe lover.

During the Marlon Revolution later that year, the tyrant king escaped from the royal castle while his twin sister, having secretly worked as his chamberlain, disguised herself as Kyle and was captured in his place. On December 26, EC 500, the "Lord of Evil" was executed. Surviving the revolution, the last of the Marlon dynasty remained in hiding until his death in EC 562.

### Hell on Earth

After the destruction of the Third Period, the spirits of the family were pulled back to the earth, apart from Mora. Afterward, Kyle held a banquet at the Marlon Castle for him and his family.
