The Letter That Could Kill Them Both (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 12 – Part 2)

Villefort reveals how dangerously close his father came to execution. A message from Elba could have exposed Noirtier’s Bonapartist ties—and destroyed Villefort’s career. But now, father and son stand locked in a quiet battle of loyalty, politics, and survival.
