The Lucifenian Royal Family[1], formerly known as the d'Autriche Family, was the royal lineage that ruled the Kingdom of Lucifenia. It previously governed the region as one of the families of the Five Dukes in the Beelzenian Empire. Following the Lucifenian Revolution, the royal family was removed from power.
History
Early History
In service to the Beelzenian Imperial Family, the d'Autriches were granted titles of nobility and included as among the families of the Five Dukes, reigning over the Lucifenia region. In EC 399, the Duke of the time declared independence from the declining Beelzenian Empire and established the Kingdom of Lucifenia, dubbing himself King Lucifenia I.[2]
Rise to Power
During the ensuing decades, the Lucifenian Royal Family successfully ruled and greatly expanded the Yellow Country's national power. Around EC 473, Prince Arth married Anne Swee; with his father stepping down from the throne, Arth was crowned King and continued the war effort expanding Lucifenia's borders. Around EC 482, Arth entered an affair with Queen Prim Marlon after failing to have children with his wife, unknowingly impregnating her with a daughter.
On December 27, EC 485, Arth and Anne sired Prince Alexiel and Princess Riliane. In the late EC 480s, the royal family agreed to betroth Riliane to King Kyle of Marlon.[3] In EC 491, Arth died of the Gula disease plaguing Beelzenia. As a political dispute erupted over his true heir, the twins were separated, Alexiel being publicly declared dead after an assassination attempt while being adopted by the Captain of the Royal Guard. Afterward, Anne was accepted as the sovereign until Riliane came of age.[4]
Decline
In January of EC 499, Anne died of Gula and Princess Riliane took over her mother's rule while Prince Alexiel returned as her servant;[5] afterward, the princess imposed heavy taxes on the citizens. In EC 500, Riliane ordered the invasion of the Kingdom of Elphegort and its female Elphe population slaughtered in response to King Kyle rejecting their betrothal in favor of an Elphe lover.[6]
During the Lucifenian Revolution later that year, the tyrant princess escaped from the royal palace while her twin brother, having secretly worked as his sister's chamberlain, disguised himself as Riliane and was captured in her place. On December 26, EC 500, "The Daughter of Evil" was executed.[7] Surviving the revolution, the last of the Lucifen dynasty remained in hiding until her death in EC 562 as a Levin nun.[8]
Hell on Earth
After the destruction of the Third Period, all the dead members of the family residing in the Heavenly Yard were dragged back down to the earth as the ground world merged with the Hellish Yard, excluding Alexiel.[9] Afterward, Riliane held a banquet at the Lucifenian Royal Palace for her and her family.[10]
