He explained to the King that the Kingdom couldn't afford to pay that amount with the current budget. King Helmut made concessions on other spending's so they wouldn't go into deficient. When Wend and his group went tot he Ancient Ruins and almost died he accused the Adventurers Guild of being in league with Baron Rückner. They denied this but the damage was done and all the upper management of the Adventurers Guild was forced to retire.

He didn't want Armstrong to reveal anything about what happened with Kurt to him. When Wend and Armstrong went to him to clear thinks up, he explained that his brother came to him and used Rodrich Rückner as a means to get the land concessions. Since Baron Rückner finally acknowledged Rodrich as his son, who was Wend's chief retainer even though Finance Minister Rückner knew Baron Rückner probably had something to do with Kurt but couldn't prove it, he was backed into a corner and had to give the concessions. He tried to make it up to Wend by offering Corinna as a concubine, but Wend declined and had her become Rodrich's head wife.
