Marlon Royal Family

The Marlon Royal Family was the royal lineage that ruled the island nation of Marlon for centuries. Among its people, the royal family were considered the only legitimate monarchs in the nation and their bloodline.

History
Following its foundation, the royal family became head of Marlon and stood in constant opposition of the Lioness country. In EC 110, Princess Yufina was born and later married to Martius Beelzenia to adopt a male heir into the family. After the king's death, Martius ascended the throne with Yufina as queen. Having entered an affair with Count Kachess, Yufina fled with her beloved from her abductor in the wake of the Venomania Event and was hunted by King Martius. Following the effort to install a "legitimate" Marlon from its Beelzenian ruler, the royal family's bloodline returned to power.

In June, EC 311, King Charon agreed to engage his son, Prince Carlos, to Banica Conchita in part to improve ties between Marlon and Beelzenia, since Banica contained royal blood in her history; the betrothal was broken due to Banica's eating habits in February of EC 312. Later, the family learned from a shaman living in the Millennium Tree Forest how to combine ziz tiama ink with the magical shavings of their Golden Key heirloom to create a powerful healing elixer. In EC 325, Carlos later became his former fiancée's cook and entered a romance with her. Sometime after impregnating her, the chef was killed and devoured by his lover.

Over a century later, the King of Marlon married and had several children; his wife died sometime after. Depressed over the event, he was comforted by Prim Rogzé and soon married her. They then had a son, Prince Kyle, in EC 474. Around the same time, the Marlon King kept multiple mistresses, having children with several of them. While abroad in Lucifenia, Queen Prim seduced King Arth and gave birth to his child, Ney, in EC 482. To avoid being exposed for her actions, Prim gave her golden-haired daughter to Abyss I.R.

In the late EC 480s, the royal family agreed to betroth Kyle to Princess Riliane of Lucifenia. In December of EC 491, Ney implanted as an agent to help destabilize the Kingdom of Lucifenia. Around EC 494, the Marlon king died and Queen Prim attempted to systematically eradicate all of her husband's concubines and their children that posed a threat to her son's legitimacy as heir. With a massive power vacuum in place, King Kyle ascended to the throne during that year.

In EC 500, Kyle rejected the betrothal in favor of a green-haired maid he met at the Freesis Mansion. After the death of his beloved during the Green Hunting, Kyle secretly backed the Lucifenian Resistance and helped support the ensuing rebellion against Princess Riliane's tyranny. After the public execution of The Daughter of Evil, King Kyle rapidly expanded Marlon's power in the Evillious mainland, annexing Lucifenia.

In EC 505, Kyle declared war on Lucifenia's neighbors but later recanted the effort, instead entering a civil war with his mother. Queen Prim was later stabbed by her daughter, Ney, and died of her injuries. After being captured, Ney was killed by Abyss I.R. King Kyle later abdicated the crown around EC 510, placing his half-brother Arkatoir on the throne. Becoming a painter, he sired at least one child.

Kyle's bloodline lasted over four centuries, although not accepted as part of the royal family. Around the EC 960s, Gallerian Marlon and Ma became the parents of Nemesis Sudou. Afterward, Ma raised the child in an abandoned house in the Millennium Tree Forest while Gallerian went on to marry and sire a girl, Michelle. In EC 978, Gallerian Marlon's wife and daughter were killed while returning home from abroad by a giant octopus. The corrupt judge was later killed in August of EC 983, during a violent uprising against his jurisdiction over the trial of General Tony Ausdin.
