Mirellia Q Melromarc, recognized as the Queen, ruled Melromarc with decisive authority behind the throne. Renowned for diplomatic acumen and calculated strategy, she championed national stability and justice through pragmatic tactics. Her reign sought reconciliation with the demi-human nation Siltvelt, halting centuries of strife by founding protected villages and advancing nobles sympathetic to demi-humans. This agenda drew inspiration from Faubrey’s harmonious human-demi-human coexistence and her fascination with legends of the four heroes.
Her marriage to Aultcray Melromarc XXXII, a former commoner elevated to Faubrey’s third heir as the Cane Hero, faced political turbulence and personal strife. Their relationship fractured after their son—born between Malty and Melty—was poisoned by Malty, triggering the child’s death and Aultcray’s emotional unraveling. Mirellia’s political constraints preventing Malty’s punishment deepened marital tensions, leaving Aultcray susceptible to external influence.
A pragmatic yet caring mother, Mirellia wielded her children as political instruments while harboring concealed affection. She engineered Malty’s disgrace by revoking her royal title and enslaving her following the Three Heroes Church’s machinations. Melty, her second daughter, was molded as heir and deployed to entrap the Church into revealing conspiracies. Mirellia further manipulated events by embedding spies among Melty’s guards and exploiting Naofumi’s guardianship of Melty to undermine the Church.
Diplomatically, she spearheaded a global summit addressing the Waves, securing a pact restricting hero summons to one per nation. Aultcray and Malty’s breach of this accord—summoning all four heroes to Melromarc—ignited international condemnation. Mirellia mitigated repercussions by recasting the act as defensive necessity and brokering hero-sharing accords, though skepticism lingered among rival states.
Her persona blended benevolence with ruthlessness, compassion with subtle sadism. She subjected Aultcray and Malty to public humiliation and severe penalties, revoking their status and condemning them to death. A fondness for Filolials, notably Fitoria, softened her stern exterior, shaping Melty’s parallel affections.
Mirellia’s demise during clashes with Takt and his faction, including Malty, became a pivotal rupture. Her death shattered Aultcray, who subsequently mandated Malty’s execution. The web narrative later unveiled Malty’s soul harbored a shard of the corrupted goddess Medea, muddying judgments of her innate morality.
Legacy endured through Melty, who upheld her mother’s policies. Mirellia’s strides in bridging human-demi-human divides and stabilizing global ties left indelible marks, though her Machiavellian methods occasionally spurred critique.
