Chapter 13 di 117 · Volume 1 · 10 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 13, Napoleon’s return gives Morrel hope of freeing Edmond Dantès, but Villefort deceives him and keeps a petition that could endanger the prisoner under another monarchy. Louis XVIII regains power, Dantès remains confined, and his father dies while Mercédès struggles with grief and Morrel offers practical help.
