Vermouth Lionheart/Relationships

**SPOILER WARNING!**

## Five Great Heroes

### Hamel Dynas/Eugene Lionheart

Vermouth first learned of Hamel from the Demon King of Incranation. The Demon King of Incranation told him that the only one capable of defeating Demon King of Desturction and stop the destruction of the world is Agaroth. He told him that Agaroth have reborn, and he goes by the name Hamel in this world. They planned to bring Hamel to the top of the babel, so Hamel could realize his divinity and save the world.

Later after assembling the first 3 members, went looking for Hamel as Hamel was the key to succeeding in defeating the Demon King of Desturction.

Vermouth and Hamel first met after Vermouth watched Hamel easily defeat several mercenaries before stealing their weapons. Hamel's actions led to Anise and Sienna being against recruiting such a rude man, while at the same time they recognized his skill, but didn't see anything outstanding in him, like themselves.

Vermouth refused to listen and stubbornly decided that Hamel must join the team, much to the team's surprise, as Vermouth wasn't that type of person. Vermouth led the team before he offered Hamel a meal as he wanted to talk to him. Hamel responded by kicking a stone at him. In response, Vermouth just erased the stone and pushed for it. Hamel decided to agree to the talk. Vermouth then offered Hamel to join the team and help them kill the Demon Kings.

Hamel wanted to go to Helmuth, but he never really thought about going that far in his life, so he refused the offer, while adding that he will not work under someone weaker than him.

Vermouth then challenged Hamel to a fight. If Vermouth won, Hamel would join; Hamel agreed to the fight. Vermouth defeated Hamel very easily, much to Hamel's annoyance. Hamel then questioned Vermouth why would he want someone like him in his team, with Vermouth being that much stronger. Vermouth stayed vague, only insisting that Hamel must join him.

With time Vermouth came to respect and trust Hamel a lot. In fact, Hamel was stated to be the only one Vermouth trusted to fight next to him.

Vermouth was greatly affected by Hamel's death and was upset at the fact that he would sacrifice himself to protect him from Belial's attack. He couldn't understand Hamel's reasoning as he believed that he could have avoided the attack. Still, he kneeled in front of dying the dying Hamel and thanked him. Something he never said to him before that point, the loss of Hamel affected Vermouth so much that he abandoned his original plan of not fighting the Demon King of Incarceration and fought him seriously.

It was revealed that Vermouth took the oath to allow preservation of Hamel's body and soul, which would have wasted away due to Belial's curse otherwise. Later, together with the team, Vermouth built a grave for Hamel while giving him the title "The Great". After that, Vermouth was appointed with the title of Duke, took more than ten wives, and started a family. He gave life to many descendants and hoped the family would grow as big as possible. He put almost all of his weapons in the family vault and later was thought to pass away.

It was revealed later that Vermouth, in fact, did it with preparation to one day reincarnate Hamel. He started the Lionheart family so as many descendants will be born, and the one with the best body possible will be born as Hamel. His plan was successful, and Hamel was indeed reincarnated.
