Conchita Family

The **Conchita Family** was a noble family of the Beelzenian Empire. Originally serving as barons and later marquises, they were promoted to being one of the "Five Dukes" families, governing the Conchita province. Following the apostasy and later disappearance of Banica Conchita, the family was immortalized in folklore.

## History

### Early History

Born in EC 106 in the Beelzenian Empire, Baron Tae Conchita eventually married and began serving under Princess Maylis Beelzenia as her personal adviser. Unable to have any children with his wife, the baron took in Maylis' daughter and raised her as their own when the imperial family refused to keep the child. The girl later birthed two children, before being killed off by her "mother" after trying to reunite with her. The family would continue on and eventually gained the noble title of marquises.

### Rise and Fall

After the death of Duke Gastolle in the civil war with Asmodean in EC 212, Marquis Tetippea Conchita was promoted to replace him as one of the Five Dukes due to his royal lineage; the royal family subsequently gave him control of the eastern half of the newly divided Retasan province and the family would move to the province's town of Gasto. Later in the century, Duke Tasute Conchita requested that the territory be renamed as the Conchita province and the imperial family approved the change.

After Duke Tasute's death, his son Muzuri inherited the title of marquis in the late third century EC. The duke later married Megour Glassred, and the two had their daughter Banica Conchita in November, EC 296. Duke Muzuri then enforced heavy taxes on his subjects, resulting in a heavy famine in EC 306. In March of that year, Megour attempted to steal her husband's sword to kill him for seemingly eating too much, and was killed herself in the ensuing struggle. Afterward, Empress Juno Beelzenia stripped the family of their authority and took possession of their territory.

### Restoration

Under orders from the imperial family, Duke Muzuri betrothed his daughter to Prince Carlos Marlon in June, EC 311. In February of EC 312, the engagement was cancelled due to Banica's "disgusting behavior" during a formal dinner. Embarking on journeys abroad throughout EC 316, Banica brought back many recipes and greatly enriched Beelzenia's food culture, becoming famed for her exploits. Following Muzuri's death in August of EC 321, the Empress appointed Banica as his successor two months later and restored control of the Conchita province to her.

### Decline

In July of EC 323, due to her malnutrition and constant fasting, Duke Banica collapsed and wavered between life and death for three days before making a full recovery. She later debuted her new "healthy" figure at a banquet at the Oruhari Mansion, disgusting the residents with the dishes she brought for them. In November of EC 324, Banica refused to meet with anyone on account of her illness, transferring management of the province to her twin servants.

In EC 325, Banica entered a romance with her former fiancee, Carlos, and became pregnant with his son. After Banica cooked herself in August of EC 325, the infant was taken in by IR and eventually given to a servant at the Beelzenian Imperial Palace, ending the Conchita name.
