SELLEST OSAST
The Count of Monte Cristo hears Bertuccio recount his meeting with Villefort, the king’s attorney in Nîmes.
Seeking justice for his murdered brother, Bertuccio pleads for an investigation, only to be met with indifference and dismissal. Villefort refuses to pursue the killers, insisting the death was the natural fate of a soldier of the Empire.
Bertuccio’s search for justice meets its first immovable barrier.
