“The Magistrate’s Oath” (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 17 – Part 12)
from The Countdown of Monte Cristo · host Grunt Work Podcasts
Dantès thought he’d found a rare thing in prison: a man in power who seemed to care. But the abbé, armed with names and memory, peels back the illusion. When the letter that sealed Dantès’ fate is destroyed, it’s not mercy—it’s motive. Because the name on that letter? Noirtier. And the man who burned it? Villefort. And the connection between them? That’s the sunbeam the abbé sees so clearly. Get bonus episodes and full-length readings on Patreon: https://patreon.com/gruntworkpod Join the discussion on Discord: https://discord.gg/Sg2prdm
