Calm as Ice: Villefort’s Return to Power (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 13 – Part 2)

With Napoleon’s rise, Marseille shifts—and so does Villefort. While others are swept up in revolution or reaction, Villefort remains perfectly poised, perfectly calculating. Morrel arrives to plead for Edmond Dantès, but Villefort, now more powerful than ever, makes him wait—because power isn’t just what you have, it’s how you use it.
