The temptation was so dizzying that I spat out my wine. But how could I sleep with Hilda when she'd only just given birth? I intended to be patient and wait until she'd fully recovered.
"How do you want our kids to turn out, Wolf?"
Hmm, I....
I wanted our kids to live like me.
Not because I'm some great man, but because I wanted them to be merciful and generous leaders who take duty and responsibility seriously, who don't indulge in luxury like other nobles, and who govern wisely for the sake of their people.
Thinking it over, that just amounted to patting myself on the back.
Anyway, with the blood of the wolf in their veins, they wouldn't live ordinary lives.
So the important thing was to raise them right, so that, at the very least, they wouldn't grow up to be ashamed of themselves. I sincerely prayed that my sense of what was right would be passed down to these kids as well.
