Beelzenian Imperial Family

The **Beelzenian Imperial Family** was the royal family that ruled the Beelzenian Empire for centuries. Expanding Beelzenia into a massive empire, the Beelzenias reigned in name for at least three centuries, with their empire continuing long after.

## History

### Early History

The ancestor to this family, Auster Beelzenia, led the Red Shoe Army to swiftly expand Beelzenia's borders throughout the first century EC; his descendants then blossomed the nation into a mighty empire. The family also became famed gourmands around this time. At some point, Emperor Justea Beelzenia founded a police organization to maintain security within the new empire.

### Venomania Incident

Around the turn of the second century, Emperor Jupitaire Beelzenia sired five children, marrying his son, Prince Martius, to Princess Yufina Marlon to strengthen relations with the Kingdom of Marlon.

After the Venomania household was massacred in December of EC 135, the imperial family approved the sole survivor, Sateriasis Venomania, to succeed his father as one of the "Five Dukes" of Asmodean. When Yufina disappeared during her visit to Beelzenia with King Martius in March of the next year, Princess Maylis headed the investigation and later invited Count Karchess Crim to help find his country's Queen. Later that year, however, Maylis was also "abducted" by Duke Sateriasis Venomania and later impregnated with his child.

After Karchess assassinated the duke and eloped with Yufina in EC 136, the imperial family hunted for them along with Martius. Later that year, Maylis gave birth to a baby girl and gave the infant to Baron Tae Conchita to hide her existence from the public. The imperial family later promoted the Donald Family to replace the Venomanias as part of the Five Dukes. Following a coup staged by Karchess and Yufina in EC 138, Martius was deposed and returned to Beelzenia.

Disowned by her family, Maylis fled to Lasaland, Asmodean, becoming a prostitute to regain her lost feelings of pleasure due to the trauma from her past and going by the new name "Mary Fornier"; she later passed away due to illness. Immediately after, the angel residing within the Clockworker's Doll assumed her identity, believing herself to be the real Mary and lived on to marry Gilbert Calgaround. Sometime after that, she murdered the real Maylis' daughter; additionally, her marriage with Gilbert produced no children and he later died from uncertain circumstances.

### Struggling Relations

In EC 212, the imperial family entered a quarrel with Duke Emir Donald, leading to a civil war between Beelzenia and its Asmodean province. Due to sharing royal blood from Maylis, the imperial family promoted Marquis Tetippea Conchita to replace Duke Gastolle after his death, dividing his province in two. When Duke Tasute Conchita later petitioned that one should be renamed to the "Conchita province", the imperial family approved the change.

After a famine swept through the Conchita province in EC 306, Empress Juno stripped Duke Muzuri Conchita of his authority and took control of his ailing territory. In June of EC 311, Juno arranged for Maylis's descendant, Banica Conchita, to marry Prince Carlos Marlon to improve relations with Marlon. The engagement was later dissolved following Banica's "disgusting behavior" during a formal dinner on February of EC 312. The imperial family later supported Marlon in its war against the Kingdom of Lioness.

In October, EC 321, Juno selected Banica to replace the deceased Muzuri and become the next duke of her family, restoring their authority over the Conchita provice as well. In April of EC 325, Juno dispatched a unit of the Imperial army to arrest Banica for her subsequent apostasy and rumored cannibalism. In July, the empress requested that IR investigate the rumors as they secured the chaotic province; after the Conchita Mansion was discovered empty, the imperial family concluded that Banica fled abroad with her servants and ended their investigation.

### Decline

Over the years, the family continued to govern Beelzenia as the shrinking empire declined in subsequent wars with Asmodean and Lucifenia. In EC 479, Agosto Beelzenia was born into the family, followed by his cousin Zita C. Beelzenia the following year; two years later, Zita's mother Dionisia and several relatives were slaughtered by Leonhart Avadonia during the Lucifenian Expansion War. Zita was then adopted by the knight and renamed "Germaine". Years later in EC 490, the Emperor was killed by the "Purio Disease" sweeping across the nation. His son Agosto Beelzenia then succeeded his late father and made peace with Lucifenia.

In EC 503, Agosto gave asylum to the Marlon Resistance fleeing from the Kingdom of Lucifenia's armies. After Lucifenia invaded in EC 505, the emperor planned a counterattack against the invaders, recapturing Retasan over a month later. As the conflict dragged on, he agreed to an armistice with the Yellow Country. The imperial family then continued losing power in the succeeding centuries until the empire's collapse in EC 620.
