Henry felt he was talking to a man from the seventeenth century who valued title, prestige, and family reputation more than his family members.
When Marlon was born about seventy years ago, they were already at the point where the noble titles didn't matter much.
Henry knew many things regarding their connection with the Duchy of York from his late brother, and even James believed there was no point in trying to be a noble when they were already in a modern society.
"We are rich even without those titles, Marlon," Henry said. "We are what people call 'Old Money.' We have everything, and I know for a fact that you don't need to prove anything to those people in the Duchy of York."
