Lucifenian Royal Family

The **Lucifenian Royal Family**, formerly known as the **d'Autriche Family**, was the royal lineage that ruled the Kingdom of Lucifenia. They previously governed the region as one of the "Five Dukes" families in the Beelzenian Empire. Members of the family ruled for several centuries before slowly declining.

## History

### Early History

In EC 136, a member of the family married one of the victims of the Venomania Incident, Lali Lucif. Over a century later, their descendant Rex d'Autriche encountered the infamous thief Platonic; although he wanted to punish her, he was denied this by the reigning Beelzenian empress, Juno Beelzenia. At the same time, his distant relative Leto gave birth to two children, Artente and Pollogenes d'Autriche, before dying shortly after. The twins were then adopted into the Conchita Family by their head chamberlain Ron Grapple.

In EC 399, Duke Luke d'Autriche declared independence from the declining Beelzenian Empire and established the Kingdom of Lucifenia, dubbing himself "King Lucifenia I". During the ensuing decades, the royal family successfully ruled and greatly expanded the Yellow Country's national power.

### Rise to Power

Sometime during the early EC 470s, the king and queen were assassinated by political dissidents; after this, their son, Prince Arth rose to power. Carrying out his father's wishes, he began to invade both Beelzenia and Asmodean, securing more territory for Lucifenia.

Around EC 473, Arth married Anne Swee; however, around EC 482, Arth entered an affair with Queen Prim Marlon after failing to have children with his wife, unknowingly impregnating her with a son; blackmailing her using with her infidelity, Arth had the golden-haired child given to his royal mage, ESSENCE. On December 27, EC 485, Arth and Anne conceived Prince Alexiel and Princess Riliane. In the later EC 480s, the royal family agreed to betroth Riliane Prince Kyle of Marlon.

In EC 491, Arth supposedly died of the Purio Disease plaguing Beelzenia. As a political dispute brewed over his true heir, it was decided that Riliane would inherit the throne as the future queen, while Alexiel would be given the position of prime minister. Anne was then accepted as the sovereign ruler until Riliane came of age. In December of that year, Arkadi was implanted in the Kingdom of Marlon as an agent to help destabilize the country.

### Decline

In January of EC 499, Anne died of the Purio Disease and Riliane took over ruling the country, though keeping her title of "princess" until she came of age. The next year, EC 500, she rejected her betrothal to Kyle Marlon after falling for a green-haired servant she met at the Freezis Mansion.

After the death of her beloved during the Green Hunting, Riliane backed the Marlon Resistance and helped support the ensuing revolution against the king's tyranny. Following the public execution of the "Lord of Evil" on December 26 of that year, Princess Riliane occupied Marlon and rapidly expanded Lucifenia's borders once again, annexing the country's territory early the next year.

In EC 505, Riliane declared war on the Beelzenian Empire before agreeing to an armistice several months later, entering a civil war with her father a few weeks after. King Arth was later fatally stabbed in the chest by Arkadi in a mad outburst while conversing with Riliane within the belltower of the Levin Church; after being captured, Arkadi was fatally stabbed in turn by ESSENCE.

Princess Riliane later abdicated the throne in EC 510, allowing her brother Alexiel to become the new king; he would go on to have at least one child with his lover, Gerda. A century later, after the death of Marquis Kaspar Weingartner in EC 609, the royal family's heir-apparent attended his funeral in Toragay, Elphegort.
