Aultcray Melromarc XXXII/Relationships

Naofumi Iwatani
Aultcray's unreasonable hatred towards Naofumi may have likely stemmed from how Siltvelt worships the Hero of the Shield, which made the king gave his support to the Church of the Three Heroes in constantly demonizing the Shield Hero.

In contrast to how Mirellia had instructed her husband not to discriminate against Naofumi, Aultcray had done so anyway. Aultcray, backed by the Cult of the Three Heroes, had rebuked and chastised Naofumi. He was even going out of his way to discriminate and was doing everything to oppress him. The number of offenses committed by him against Naofumi was uncountable. He always addresses other Heroes with respectful titles while calling Naofumi as a shield or criminal Hero.

Their relationship worsens after the third wave where Naofumi had emerged as victorious as compared to the other three heroes who were all defeated; refusing to believe this, the King had accused of Naofumi of foul play and demanded the Shield Hero to confess. Naofumi had denied Aultcray's false claim, as well as refusing to show any respect towards Aultcray, asking him to crawl and kneel before him for any more request. Naofumi leaves after insulting and also threatened to kill him, if Altrucy ever gets in his way, as Naofumi is stronger than other heroes, though most of it was a bluff to make Aultcray scared.

After Mirellia's return, both Aultcray and Malty's crime and Naofumi's innocence were revealed. They were punished as they lost their political power and were also given a punishment under Naofumi's choice. While Naofumi wanted to give an execution because people valued Aultcray's skills. He also took consideration for the Queen's familial love towards the two and also to avoid making new enemies, he later decided to simply change both the King and princess's names, where Aultcray was renamed as Trash, as a fitting manner of humiliation.

According to the Queen, Malty pulled all the stings and made use of Aultcray's hatred for the Shield Hero to make Aultcray persecute Naofumi. Every malice action against the Shield Hero was done by Aultcray, after he was talked into it, by Malty and the Church of the Three Heroes.

After seeing Atla under Nafoumi's care, who resembled his late sister. Aultcray was in a state of shock since, then he avoided and ignored Nafoumi existence as much as possible and did not cause any more ruckus in connection to the Shield Hero like he did before.

Motoyasu Kitamura
Following his daughter's choice of choosing Motoyasu, Aultcray gave more preferential treatment to him, such as giving him more reward funds than other heroes. Promoting him to be the lord of a village.

Itsuki Kawasumi
Aultcray gives much respect and somewhat reasonable treatment to Itsuki. Itsuki asks of mistreating Naofumi with rigged battle and cancellation of funds, leaving the Aultcray speechless. When Aultcray wrongdoings were exposed by the queen, he along with Ren calls the punishment of the king befitting.

Ren Amaki
Ren also gained the respect of Aultcray and received somewhat reasonable treatment of a Hero. Ren too sided with Itsuki in demeaning after Aultcray's crimes were exposed.

Mirellia Q Melromarc
Mirellia loved her husband because of the valor and wisdom he had shown in the past. However, now the Queen has seen her husband be now complete a far cry from what he may have once been. Not only did Trash not follow his wife's instructions, to not discriminating against the Shield Hero but also misused his new found powers. Mirellia was able to freely slap her husband whenever he displayed his stupidity in front of her. Mirellia shows no patience for her husband's mistake.

He is genuinely in love with his wife, so much so that he puts up with her harsh treatment of him after the above ordeals. Though Naofumi just suspects the queen might be a sadist and they were always this way.

Malty S Melromarc
Trash constantly spoils his first daughter in doing whatever he wants. He also (Knowingly/Unknowingly) aided her to frame Naofumi and doing everything she can to degrade the Shield Hero's reputation.

Melty Q Melromarc
Trash seems to show paternal love towards her second daughter. Melty too reciprocates this love. She even tried to set up a space for Naofumi and her father to amend things, before her father becomes a victim of her mother's wrath. Later, she sided with Naofumi learning of her father's atrocities towards him.

Fohl
Aultcray's nephew, a half-human half-Hakuko, and the son of his long lost sister who was taken by the Hakuko and also happens to be the grandson of his arch nemesis, Tryson. He and Fohl are similar in some ways, even to the point where Atla thought there were two of her brothers.

He caused a rampage after seeing him but was calmed after seeing Fohl's sister, Atla. Mirellia also revealed his lineage to Trash much to his shock and surprise.

Atla
The daughter of his long lost sister who was taken by the Hakuko and also the granddaughter of his arch nemesis, Tryson. She bears a striking resemblance to her mother which made him completely shocked and speechless. Almost all of his personality change happens after seeing her.
