Disappearances Without Records (The Count of Monte Cristo Chapter 13 – Part 5)

Villefort plays both sides.

As Morrel presses for Dantès’ release, Villefort coolly explains how the state can make men vanish—no arrest, no record, no evidence. Yet now, in front of a Bonapartist, he flips the script: claiming it’s his duty to free Dantès, and offering to petition the minister himself. But is it justice—or cover-up?
