The abbé presses further into the mystery of Edmond Dantès’ imprisonment.

He reveals that even on his deathbed, Edmond swore before God that he never knew why he was arrested. In his final wish, he begged the abbé to clear his name, to remove any stain from his memory.

Then comes a revelation: a wealthy Englishman, once Edmond’s fellow prisoner, left him a diamond of immense value as repayment for kindness in captivity. Instead of using it to bribe his jailers, Edmond had preserved it, believing it might one day give him a future.

Across the table, Caderousse grows heavier with gloom as the abbé’s steady gaze fixes on him, unrelenting.
