If these words have reached you, this means that I am no longer of this earth, and have joined my ancestors in a more peaceful place. Whether you found this manuscript in an old libarary, in a chest buried deep in a cave, or perhaps in a dusty old box - know you hold in your hands the last words of the Duke de Crecy. In these last moments of my life my thoughts return to the powerful houses, the great leaders and noble gentlefolk of France that Fate has placed on my path. What mark have I left on the ever spinning wheels of history? What is my legacy? You have porbably not even heard of the noble house de Crecy, about the history we have made, and the glorious moments we have had. My name has never managed to rise above the vast ocean of mediocrity. I did not marry my children off to the rulers of this world. I have brought others, not myself to achieve the highest honors. I warn you, my Lord, do not go down this road! All those years of intrigues, manipulations and scheming behind the scenes have brought me nothing but bitter of oblivion.
Prepare yourself and your family for the forthcoming storms. Make sure your name is on the lips of random men on street corners worthy of its fame, indeed, eternalized in the annals of History itself. Take care to marry your sons to the daughters of powerful men, and give your daughters to those, who excel in greatness. Fight for the laurel wreaths and honors to be bestowed on your grandchildren and do not let anyone outrun them in this race. May their deeds and endeavors be the talk of the nation, discussed at each ball, party and event of importance. Have palaces and mansions erected to be celebrations of the power of your name for generations to come. Be wise when investing in your wealth, and your grandsons will still sip the sweet nectar of profit when you have left this world for good yourself. Mind those words, as written in this, the last will of the Duke de Crecy. Leave a great legacy to the world: the power of a house that will grow in strength with each new century.
