King Helmut/Relationships

### Wendelin von Benno Baumeister

From the very first time that they meet, King Helmut considers him to be a valuable asset to the Kingdom and pushes him to do things that benefits the Kingdom and richly rewards him for these deeds. After that first meeting the King and his ministers made plans to have Wend take over the Savage Lands by finding a way to remove Kurt von Benno Baumeister. He asked Amadeus Freitak von Bleichröder to let Wend and his group stay in the capitol , instead of them returning to school so he can keep him close by. He has Friedrich von Benno Baumeister marry the Crown Prince's daughter and the Crown Prince's eldest son(future King) marry Anna von Benno Baumeister, making her the future Queen. There might be an ulterior motive for this since all Wend's children are born magicians. He might be thinking that by having Wend's children marry his grandchildren his future relatives will also be magicians and strengthen the Royal Family.

### Children

It is mentioned that he has 2 sons and 2 daughters with the Queen. One being the first born son, Crown Prince (Valdo), first born daughter,Crown Princess and another younger son and daughter who are not named. He is the son of the King's younger brother, but his mother is of low standing and he is the fourth son. He was made a knight with the peerage being hereditary. Since then there have been inquires about nobles wanting to marry their daughters to him, but he has a childhood sweetheart he wants to marry. Her name is Kaya and is the second daughter of the Viscount Peuss House. When he was young she was the only one who befriended him and he proposed to her that once he becomes independent he will marry her.

### Waldo Helmut

He is the oldest son and presumptive heir to the throne.

### Klimt Kristoff von Armstrong

When they were children they played together, since Armstrong was from a family with strong loyalty to the Kingdom and Crown. When Armstrong was going to become an adventurer and explore the world, King Helmut was jealous as he would never be allowed to do something like that(not hateful jealousy, jealous that he couldn't go with him). Once Armstrong retired as an Adventurer Helmut appoints him as the Royal Head Magician and Helmut fully trusts him. When he doesn't have anything for Armstrong to do, he lets him do as he likes. Just like how Burkhart Ringstat is with Amadeus Freitak von Bleichröder, Helmut gives Armstrong his thoughts on matters and lets Armstrong have free rein to complete the task as he sees fit.

### Guido

He is King Helmut's nephew from his younger brother and he assigned him to a harmless military post. He participated in the Marital Arts Tournament that Katia von Eulenberg threw trying to find a husband. He was the last contestant and lost. After Wend takes over the tunnel operation he is assigned as the commandeer for the security forces from the Kingdom that will guard the tunnel. He is given a inheritable peerage by the King when he is given this post.

### Kurt von Benno Baumeister

He thought Kurt was unskilled like most Baumeister men and was looking for a way to seize most of their land in order to have it developed. When Wend came along he decided to reward Wend handsomely in order to agitate Kurt into doing something stupid. Amadeus sent Wend back to the Baumeister Knight Territory in order to stir up more trouble to make Kurt snap. When Kurt tried to kill Wend and his party, but was killed instead he seized the land as punishment and gave it to Wend.
