This is a bit old but Mad, we've known about Blood Grave for a while (scroll up). XD

Alright, we may want to check over other sources as there is more detailed information coming out on the subject. Major points:


 * Muzuri is famous as a gourmand


 * Baemu curiously appeared in the carriage bringing gifts and Muzuri thought it was a gift from God (AB-CIR?)


 * Everyone of the household and his family ate it; the residents of the house began to die one by one each day shortly after


 * AB-CIR is apparently explaining to Muzuri about the Baemu being an "angel of the devil" (or similar translation), where its delicious taste hides how it is forbidden to be eaten. Something apparently occurred with another Emperor in the Empire and caused the empire's decline


 * Muzuri, not being a Levin believer, was unaware of this and unwittingly gave his family and staff the Goula disease


 * Goula Disease: On top of what we already know, apparently eating a pig that has been soaking up in the Demon of Gluttony magic from the Glass inside it will give you Goula. You must satisfy the stomach for 10 years in order to survive


 * This is where the taxation occurred and where a lot of food was being taken to help feed the Conchitas; this is also where Meguru becomes ferocious when it comes to eating and gets a little abusive with Banica


 * In the final two months (I assume before the 10 year period was up), there was a famine and there was no food left. Meguru began eating the dead; then everything else happens and she is killed in front of Muzuri and Banica; apparently cannibalism was unforgiveable. Publicly stated to have died of heart disease or something similar


 * No mention of what happened with Juno here, but the staff was largely gone with only Muzuri, Ron, and Banica being survivors


 * Muzuri met Meguru while on some diplomatic engagement with the prime minister of Elphegort; he instantly fell in love with her and wished to marry her. Does so after going over various obstacles


 * AB-CIR was visited the house and consulted the family on this (this fills in our gap of information over Banica's eating habits being "fine")


 * Reconfirmation that the baemu is from the Tasan territory


 * With his 10 years up, Muzuri became "unusually greedy" and engaged his daughter to (needs more confirmation) Carlos Marlon; she was 14 at the time (timeline says she got engaged in June which is before her 15th birthday)


 * Muzuri dies happy knowing of his daughter's achievements as an epicure and for having enriched Beelzenia's food culture


 * Eating habits at dinner between two families caused the engagement to be broken off the following year


 * Source is asserting the Glass was brought back to the mansion by the twins; the conversation with Ron seems to have them deny this but its possibly because they were denying being involved in whatever Banica decides


 * Uncertain is cannibalism was part of her diet already or not yet (difficult to translate) but no one approaches the mansion anymore due to the rumors of it and that the undead soldiers defend the mansion (likely the entirety of the staff and others who died of Goula)


 * Source is reconfirming the idea that Banica's reasoning for devouring herself was to satisfy her hunger and reject the weakening demon


 * We know the rest with Banica


 * Elluka and Platonic find baby in mansion; Banica's child is adopted by a servant to Emperor Juno (this use of "emperor" is strictly for males, unlikely the other which could be either; since Yukina mentions in Praeludium of the "Emperor", not an Empress, this might be more accurate)


 * Note: the word for "adopted child" usually refers to a male but is still gender-neutral


 * It is extremely hard to translate the specifics here, but another assertion that Banica is effectively the Demon now and is awaiting to go out into the world as the "Master of the Graveyard"; something about lending the power of the demon to her favorite servants, Arte and Pollo (something about their incaranted body; their incarnations like Ney?)


 * Arte and Pollo's parents died at an early age; he's apparently a native of Grabia (which means Ma's statements about them serving Banica far away from home might refer to their original incarnations, H&G)


 * Compared to Arte, Pollo's personality is good, and he is clumasy and not that smart; his laugh is odd (ゲヒヒ; gehihi)


 * Apparently they are the same age as Banica but have been 14 in appearance since they began serving her for over 10 years (if they were around when she was engaged, it's been around 15 or so odd years)


 * They have this vague intuition that she is not an ordinary human and are not bothered by her eating habits that freak out others because they are attached to her


 * Demon of Gluttony makes a comment but its uncertain what is being said


 * Arte has a selfish and impatient personality, unlike her brother (and yet she's the one emphasizing quality over quantity for Banica's meals XD)


 * Her personality apparenlty has a very nasty side: 「戦争よ戦争‼」 (I think this means "War more war!!" as a quote of hers but its hard to say)


 * Arte apparently sometimes commands the undead soldiers against the Emperor's army for Banica


 * Carlos had periodic seizures due to his poor health; suppressed via elixer


 * Carlos' jerky personality had him look down on the plump Bancia but apparently there was some connection made as he had some level of care even after the engagement was broken off


 * Carlos was captured by Hedgehog Lord of the Lioness country (So he was imprisoned in Castle Hedgehog?) and either Carlos or the lord became the enemy of AB-CIR (I think it was the lord)


 * Hears about the accident (her collapse?) of Banica while in prison when overhearing AB-CIR and Platonic speak


 * Becomes a spy for the sorceress to ascertain what really happened


 * AB-CIR kills real Joseph (a famous chef); Carlos is hired as this Joseph (we're having an odd conflict in information/translations now; need to check over other sources to make sure there wasn't a mistake)


 * He wasn't that great of a cook but because Banica's tastes descended into the repulsive; there was no need to be something phenomenal


 * Arte and Pollo disliked Carlos due to his appearance (resembled Adam Moonlit)


 * Carlos' murder-suicide fails because Banica is unaffected and he's not so lucky as a result; hard to tell what got to him first, the poison (source unclear if he actually took any or not) or Banica

No way to confirm any or all of this other than from the novel itself; some stuff matches what other sources say, others are contradictory or ambiguous. No details yet on AB-CIR or Platonic either.
