The Count of Monte Cristo

The Mondego Mystery

Monte Cristo recalls hearing the name Fernand Mondego in connection with affairs in Greece, specifically in conjunction with Ali Pasha. Danglars confirms this is the mystery surrounding Morcerf—certain things have been mentioned about him that were never said of Danglars, but he will not specify what.

The Yanina Investigation

Monte Cristo suggests Danglars write to his correspondent in Yanina to investigate what part was played by the Frenchman Fernand Mondego in the catastrophe of Ali Tepelini. Danglars seizes upon this immediately, rising quickly and declaring he will write that very day. He promises to communicate anything scandalous he discovers, obliging Monte Cristo before rushing out.

第六十七章 The Office of the King’s Attorney

The chapter depicts a clandestine meeting between Madame Danglars and Procureur Villefort at the Palais de Justice, during which Villefort recounts the dark history of a buried child at Auteuil and reveals that the remains are now missing, pointing to a conspiracy linked to the Count of Monte Cristo. Chapter 67, “The Office of the King’s Attorney,” continues the confrontation between Villefort and Madame Danglars over their dark shared secret. Villefort explains his efforts to trace the fate of the child presumed dead, reveals that the child was likely alive and given to a foundling hospital, and ultimately resolves to investigate the Count of Monte Cristo, whom he now suspects of holding damaging knowledge about their past.
