Napoleon Returns. The King Panics. (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 11 – Part 1)
Manage episode 484476397 series 3640498
Napoleon escapes Elba and lands in France—and King Louis XVIII is the last to know.
In this explosive chapter, the monarchy’s illusion of control shatters as Minister Dandré arrives pale and trembling with confirmation that Bonaparte has set foot on French soil.
The court erupts. The king denies. But the Hundred Days have already begun.
