(Japanese: {{ | '''Cigyun''' (Japanese: {{hl|シギュン|Shigyun}} ''Cigyun'') was a descendant of Saint [[Maera]] and an inheritor of his [[Loptous]] [[Holy Blood]]. She grew up in confinement in the Spirit Forest of [[Verdane]], but left and married Duke [[Victor (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Victor]] of [[Velthomer]], later having an extramarital affair with Prince [[Kurth]]. Through her children, [[Arvis]] (with Victor) and [[Deirdre]] (with Kurth), she is the grandmother of Prince [[Julius]], the human host of Loptous and the culmination of the plots of the [[Loptr Church]] to resurrect their lord. | ||

Cigyun was born in a hidden village in [[Verdane]]'s Spirit Forest to unnamed parents, one of whom was a descendant of Maera. In accordance with the laws imposed upon Maera's kin by the Spirit Forest's people, she was to live her life confined to the Forest to prevent Loptous's bloodline escaping into the world again and to prevent persecution, and was forbidden from having more than one child so as to prevent the possibility of multiple bearers of the bloodline interbreeding to create a [[Holy Blood|major-blooded]] viable host for Loptous.<ref name=" | Cigyun was born in a hidden village in [[Verdane]]'s Spirit Forest to unnamed parents, one of whom was a descendant of Maera.

== | Cigyun and Victor were married in spite of Victor's notoriously poor treatment of women, and Cigyun gave birth to her first child: [[Arvis]], who inherited both his father's major [[Fjalar]] blood and his mother's minor [[Loptous]] blood. The marriage lasted seven years,<ref>{{Cite|'''Sigurd:''' Geez... I never knew. The duchess would have been Lord Arvis's mother, correct?<br>'''Filat:''' Precisely. Oh, what a pity...

This culminated in Victor raping and impregnating one of Cigyun's closest maidservants around Grann 736–738, which would later yield Arvis's half-brother [[Azelle]]; when Victor turned on the maidservant upon learning of her pregnancy, Cigyun came to the maidservant's defense and admonished Victor for his poor treatment.<ref>{{Cite web|quote=Although Victor got his hands on the girl from the momentum of being drunk, when he knew the girl got pregnant he yelled, cursed, used violence, and tried to drive her away.

Victor soon found out about this affair, and in a fit of rage wrote a final letter denouncing the pair, then killed himself.<ref name="whole story">{{Cite|Oh, I may as well tell you the whole story. This all took place nearly 20 years ago. The lovely duchess of Velthomer, a married woman mind you, fell for the prince. Now the duke of Velthomer was a reputed womaniser and had several lovers. The prince, however, was a straight arrow. Initially, the prince merely sympathised with the duchess, but then one day the two fell deeply in love. Now the duke lost his head.
