Cross of Honor, Crown of Guilt (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 11 – Part 8)

Villefort gets everything he wanted.

In a single breath, the king rewards Villefort with a prestigious medal, a promise of remembrance, and power in the south. But the cross he kisses is bought with betrayal—and beneath the tears of pride, Dantès remains imprisoned.
