I must renounce my name

Today I have visited my Uncle the Marquis today. His chateau is grand to the fullest extent of the word. I arrived in a glorious carriage, which I am sure was payed for by blood money. I explained to him that I must renounce both my future title of Marquis and the property I am to inherit upon his death. It is shameful be included in such a family whose name conjures images of fear and slavery. Our

 family has acted out of greed for as long as the name has existed. We have harmed anyone who has stood in our way, and I cannot stand the thought of being included in such a selfish brood. My uncle rejected my statements, claiming that I should accept my destiny. My destiny however, is to become a man of honor and good nature.
