Wendelin von Benno Baumeister/Relationships

Towards his Family
There isn’t much love or attachment towards my parents, siblings and the Baumeister household. He told himself he wasn't going to get involved with his family, but after Marlene Baumeister's dead grandfather told him, "I leave it to you", he decided to resolve the problems of his home. He planned to take over the territory and hire a viceroy to run everything. Of course, the Kingdom had other plans and wanted him to develop the Savage Lands, since he could use his magic to speed up the development. Later as time progresses his feelings towards his family changes for the better.

Artur von Benno Baumeister
Wend doesn't have a good relationship with his father seen by the fact that he couldn't wait to leave the household and had decided he would never come back after he left. Of course, circumstances changed forcing him to return. Wend feels that it is his father's fault for what happened between him and Kurt as his father didn't seem to want to deal with Kurt. After Klaus tells Wend about his father's past deeds, he decides if there is a rebellion, he won't even attempt to save his father and Kurt. He will only save his mother, Amalie and her children

Johanna von Benno Baumeister
Wend relationship with his mother is on good terms, but it is not a close relationship. This is due to the fact that after he was born, she couldn't spend much time raising him since she had to work in the fields. Their relationship has improved over time where he now cares more for her and even give Paul extra funds to take of her well being.

Kurt von Benno Baumeister
Originally Wend didn't dislike Kurt, but that all changes when Wend returned to the territory to handle the zombies. He saw what a toxic person he had become and after Marlene Baumeister's grandfather told him "I leave it to you" before he was purified, he decided to take over the territory from Kurt. All Kurt could think was Wend is going to steal his birthright and was there to undermine him. He couldn't see that Wend could be someone to raise the status of the family if he accepted his help. Kurt was too fixated on power and lost all reasoning. Later, Wend decided he has to harden his heart and remove Kurt. Wend and his group did things to try and enrage Kurt so he would do something stupid, and this would allow the Kingdom to remove him. They didn't expect that Kurt was delusional and thought that if he killed Wend, he would inherit Wend's estate. Kurt was easily tricked by Baron Rückner to kill Wend and his party. This all backfired on Kurt, and he realized he had been used right before he died.

Erich Baumeister
At first Erich was the only one who he talked to and got along with, but this changed at Erich's wedding as he started talking to Paul Baumeister and Helmut von Baumeister. While discussing the lack of wedding presents from his parents, Wend stated if Erich had inherited he wouldn't have mind helping him develop the territory, but "please don’t ask me to offer such free beneficial services to such a father and Kurt-nii-san!" is how he felt.

Paul Baumeister
He didn't much of a relationship with Paul till he came to the Royal Capitol for Erich's wedding and after that it improved to the point of how brothers should be. He was with Wend when Karl tried to kill him and he was rewarded a Baronet and some land in the Baumeister Knight Territory from the Kingdom as a reward. He understands that both his marriage and peerage is a result from Wend accomplishments.

Alfred Reinford
Alfred was Wend's magic teacher. They had good relationship. Wend was very grateful to Alfred for teaching him magic and was sad that he had to purge his master. Even though Wend will have other teachers, Alfred will be the only one he will recognize as his true master and he considers him a "great existence for me." Wend will take Alfred's magic notes and turn them in a magic textbook to make sure future generations remember who he was.

Elise Katharina von Hohenheim
She became his first fiancée and then joins his adventurer party. When he went to the true baptism her grandfather, Cardinal Hohenheim, was talking about her future and how he wanted her to lead a normal life and not one in the church. During this conversation he tricked Wend into accepting her as his head wife. Initially, Wendelin was afraid of this idea, but a date with her changed his mind. Elise is Wendelin's greatest supporter and she accompanies him everywhere he goes and always stands by his side both on the battlefield and outside. Elise always cooks with love for her beloved and they often go on dates.

Ever since coming back from the Empire she has become possessive of Wendelin and gets jealous during the time Therese Sigrid von Philip (future wife) kept clinging to him. She has also been affectionately calling him 'Dear' ever since.

He was initially trying to avoid having her as one of his wives, but after a fishing trip alone with her he decided he would take her in to make sure she survives due to the "Hero Syndrome" plus he didn't want her to be taken advantage of. Brantark Ringstat told him he will need to take responsibility and marry her, but he was still undecided. When he returned to the Royal capital to report on Kurt's attempted assassination of him and his party General Edgar told him "Wilma is my adopted daughter! You do understand, right? Wend understood and made her his 4th fiancée at the time. They are married in Chapter 75

Katharina Linda von Waigel

He initially didn't like her attitude, but he realized she was a loner like him and allowed her to stay at his mansion. Wend had a habit of going into the bathroom when one of his wives was in there to see them naked. Even though he wouldn't do anything till after the marriage, he still liked to look at them. One day he saw the bathroom was occupied and walked in to see Katharina in the bath. Wend didn't act regretful and casually said "have you gained weight?". Katharina slapped him and Elise told him to leave the mark on his face all day. Katharina was crying on Elise lap and told Wend to take responsibility and marry her. They are married in Chapter 75. One of the reason Wend loves her is due to her "cute" parts.

Later, Wend is told by Rhodrich how she can reestablish her fallen noble house. Wend goes to her and explains that since she is female, she will never be able to reestablish her house. She will need to marry a noble and her son will be able to complete this. She asks Wend to accompany her to her family's old territory to discuss this with her families' old retainers. While she is explaining it, she tells them she will take Wend as her husband to restore her family and it will be reestablished in Wend's territory. 95% of her families' old retainers follow her back to Wend's territory and some of the ones who left previously to different locations, also follow her.

Katia von Eulenberg
Katia was a solo adventurer who later became Wend's party member. She first meets Wend and the rest of his party during a joint wyvern subjugation request in the mountains of the Baumeister territory, which they complete successfully. Later on, they meet again while Wend was in the middle of important negotiations with Lord Eulenberg and Margrave Bleichröder over the possible joint management of the newly excavated tunnel connecting the Baumeister territory with Bleichröder's lands. It is then that Katia is revealed to actually be Lord Eulenberg's daughter and the initial negotiations are subsequently derailed when she tries to solve their tunnel administration dilemma by outrageously proposing to hold a tournament open to all nobles in the kingdom, with her hand in marriage as well as the Eulenberg's stake in the tunnel as the main prize - provided that they can defeat her in combat.

After she defeated all the contests, King Helmut, told Wend to go teach her a lesson. Wend easily defeated her and after the fight King Helmut told him to take responsibility and marry her. Katia had no problems with this, and she welcomed becoming part his family.

Ever since getting married, Katia has become quite affectionate as she blushes whenever Wend complements her and when he says something that she can relate to. She affectionately calls him 'hubby'.
