“The People Will Rise” (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 12 – Part 4)

Villefort trusts the army. Noirtier trusts the people.

As Napoleon marches toward Paris, father and son debate who truly holds power. Villefort clings to royalist reports of resistance, but Noirtier, reading the mood of the nation, sees a very different reality: loyalty to the emperor is far from dead—and Paris may open its gates before a shot is fired.
