Kurt von Benno Baumeister/Relationships

## Wendelin von Benno Baumeister

Kurt never cared for any of his brothers, much less Wend. He saw all his brothers as a threat to his inheritance and couldn't be happier when they all decided to leave. He was worried that the citizens would try to get Wend to become the feudal lord. His thinking was relaxed somewhat when Wend announced he would be leaving for the Adventurers Academy when he turned 12. After Wend had left and news about Wend started to reach the Baumeister Knight Territory, Kurt's anxiety started to grow along with his hatred for Wend. When Wend returned to deal with the zombie problem, Kurt who had reached his breaking point openly mocked Wend and insulted Erwin and Elise. Wend had to put him in his place by reminding him he is nothing more than the heir of a knight peerage while Wend is a Baron. Kurt finally lost it and attempted to kill Wend thinking he would be a great hero once he had Wend's money and peerage and developed the Savage lands. Two things he didn't know was he would be executed for killing Wend and Wend had already drawn up a *will* that left nothing to him or his family. Kurt looked at Wend as some fast way to get rich off of at then end.

Kurt's feeling towards Wend in his own words: *"That fellow was really a bad curse. He did nothing but being a hindrance to me. It would be best if he died being exploited by the greedy nobles of the central government.It would be great if he died like that."*

*He was nothing more than an enemy who had the potential to steal my place*

## Amalie Mainbach

In her own words she doesn't believe he ever loved her as he took a mistress as soon as she had his sons. She realized she couldn't count on him and the only thing she cared about was making sure her sons had a good future. Amalie was aware that her husband was corrupt, especially when Wendelin returned to the territory, which caused Kurt's jealousy to be much more visible.

Kurt himself considers his family to be disposable, even proclaiming to Wendelin that he can always "make a new family" even if Amalie and his children die because of his own actions.

Ultimately, when Kurt met his demise by his own precipitous actions, Amalie was not mournful afterwards as she knew that would happen and had only cared for the well-being of her children.

## Artur von Benno Baumeister

He considers his father to be old and weak and couldn't wait for him to retire.

## Klaus

They did not have a good relationship as Klaus knew the territory would fall into ruin once he took over. He would always praise Wend and Erich in front Karl. He wanted either Erich or Wend to take over the territory.

## Rest of the Baumeister Brothers

He never cared for his brothers, especially Erich, as he saw all of them as a threat to his inheritance. Even after his brothers had renounced their right to inherit he still looked at him with animosity whenever they came back to the territory

## Elise Katharina von Hohenheim

His thoughts on Elise is someone with her tits, which are big for her age, she’s a bitch who seduced Wendelin. He also considers her grandfather, Egmund von Hohenheim, to be a corrupt priest.

## Unnamed mistress

She was the daughter of one of the farmers. As soon as Amalie had his children he no longer spent time with her and found a mistress. When Artur found out, he paid her off and she went to marry someone outside the territory.
